Elderly Persons Disorders Therapists in North Peoria, IL

At Bloom, we support older adults and their families through the emotional and life changes that can come with aging. We provide a compassionate space to strengthen coping skills, connection, and emotional well-being.

When I began my practice, I was already in my mid 60s and assumed I would specialize in older adults. As a specialist in sexuality, I have helped many clients who come to me with sexual issues, most related to aging. I've become an expert of elder sexuality, assisting clients who want to continue to enjoy a healthy and satisfying erotic life. I have helped clients overcome erectile dysfunction, inability to orgasm, low desire, pain with sex and other problems. Many clients come to me post divorce or widowhood, who have not been sexual or even touched for decades and whose bodies have gone numb. Lack of education is a big problem for many and just learning about what is "normal" and what is possible is a huge game changer. Often, there needs to be a clearing of emotional issues that needs to be cleared. More recently, I have begun working with clients who have medical issues related to aging, working with people who are dealing with Parkinsons, IBS, Cancer, etc. Finally, as we age often we become anxious and fearful about our mortality, something that I can definitely help with as a hypnotist.

I work with older clients on issues around aging, retirement, loss and other adjustments at this time of life.

Older adulthood can bring a range of emotional and cognitive challenges. I specialize in working with older adults and their families to address these concerns with compassion, respect, and evidence-based care. My approach draws from geropsychology, neuropsychology, and mindfulness-informed therapy to support emotional well-being, promote independence, and improve quality of life. Whether you are seeking support for yourself or an aging loved one, I invite you to contact me for a free consultation.

This component address the age related mental health challenges, cognitive changes, emotional well-being, and strategies to maintain independence and quality of life.
