Therapy for Older Adults

Later life still holds questions worth exploring.

Retirement. Loss. Health changes. Shifting family roles. The question of what this chapter is actually for. These aren't problems to be solved quickly, but they're experiences that deserve space, reflection, and someone who genuinely wants to understand.

You might be navigating:

  • Retirement and identity — the loss of structure, purpose, or the role that defined you

  • Grief and loss — a spouse, friends, health, independence, or a homeland left behind

  • Family relationships — tension with adult children, distance from grandchildren, feeling like a burden

  • Health changes — adjusting to new limitations, chronic conditions, or fears about the future

  • Isolation and loneliness — the world is getting smaller, fewer people who really know you

  • Immigration in later life — adapting to a new country, language barriers, cultural displacement

  • Meaning and legacy — wondering what your life has added up to, what you want to leave behind

What Therapy Offers:

Therapy isn't about being "fixed" — it's about being understood.

In our sessions, you'll have space to slow down, reflect, and say the things you might not say elsewhere. We'll explore what's weighing on you, make sense of patterns that have followed you through life, and find clarity about what matters now.

I work psychodynamically — which means I'm interested in the whole of your life, not just the presenting problem. Your history, your relationships, your losses, and your hopes all matter here.

Is This Right for You?

This might be a good fit if you:

  • Want a space to think out loud with someone who listens deeply

  • Are facing a transition and aren't sure how to make sense of it

  • Feel like no one really understands what this stage of life is like

  • Have things you've carried for years that you've never fully talked about

  • Prefer working with someone who won't rush you or try to "fix" you

You still have important things to figure out. Let's add life to your years together.
