Older Adults
Reconnect to others. Reconnect to yourself.
Relationships are one of the best & hardest parts of life.
If you need a space to reflect on your life and your relationships, to address relational wounds, or to help you navigate complex roles you are in currently, I’m here to help.
Are you a senior navigating the complexities of relationships in this stage of life? Whether it’s with adult children, in-laws, other family members, friends, a spouse, or processing the loss of a partner, it is challenging to feel confident in your role in these relationships.
I deeply value the opportunity to work with older adults, integrating your rich life experiences into our sessions. Your motivation often brings remarkable insight, making our collaboration incredibly rewarding. In my experience, seniors frequently achieve their therapeutic goals more quickly than other populations, a testament to the wisdom gained over the years.

Therapy for Estrangement
If your adult child or another family member has stopped speaking to you, know that you’re not alone. A nationally representative sample of 1,340 adult Americans revealed that 27% of Americans are actively estranged from at least one family member (American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy, 2020).
Estrangement from a loved one can be one of the most painful experiences. No one anticipates the heartbreak of an adult child or family member cutting off communication. This reality creates emotional turmoil and many unanswered questions due to a lack of closure. Often, it feels like a secret you must carry to protect your relationship from the stigma of estrangement and avoid judgment from others.
This silent burden is filled with profound grief and countless "what ifs." In my experience working with older adults facing estrangement, I've witnessed its impact on every aspect of their lives, leading to feelings of depression, low self-esteem, guilt, and regret. The effects ripple through the entire family, as members may choose sides, further deepening the pain and fracturing familial bonds.
If you are experiencing this, please reach out. I would be honored to support you on your journey toward healing and peace.
