Online therapy can be surprisingly effective for older adults—especially when it removes the stress of traffic, bad weather, or having to “get up and go” when bodies don’t always cooperate. Once we get past the tech hiccups (and we will get past them), it often becomes a safe, cozy space to talk from the comfort of home. I’ve had folks open up more freely from their favorite recliner than they ever would in a formal office. It’s not about the screen—it’s about the connection, and that still translates loud and clear.

I approach therapy like a conversation with a purpose. I’m not here to analyze you with a clipboard—I’m here to walk beside you and help make sense of the hard stuff. Some days that means deep reflection, other days it means sharing a laugh to break the tension. I use evidence-based tools like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which helps us focus on what really matters to you, even when life gets messy. I also take a trauma-informed approach, which means I’ll always honor your story and your safety first. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, seen, and never judged. We’ll take it at your pace, one honest moment at a time.

My advice? Don’t worry about doing it “right.” Therapy isn’t a performance—it’s a process. You don’t have to have the perfect words, the full story, or even know exactly what you’re feeling yet. Just show up. We’ll figure it out together. It’s normal to feel nervous or unsure in the beginning, but that doesn’t mean you’re doing it wrong—it means you’re brave enough to try.

One thing I always tell new clients: therapy is different from talking to a friend. Your friends might mean well, but they often jump in with advice or their own stories. In therapy, it’s all about you—your voice, your experience, and your healing. And if you’ve been carrying heavy things for a long time, we’ll go gently. You don’t have to spill it all at once. Just start where you are, and we’ll go from there.
