I have a special interest in working with folks 50+ figure out what you want these later years to look like, address the unique challenges that come with aging and prepare for the end of your life in a way that honors all you've worked for. This includes working with families to help provide care and make sense of the loss that can come with illness and disorders (such as dementia) that come over time.

Older adulthood can bring a range of emotional and cognitive challenges.

My approach draws from geropsychology, neuropsychology, and mindfulness-informed therapy to support emotional well-being, promote independence, and improve quality of life.

Fort Wayne is Indiana's second-largest city and a hub for defense manufacturing, healthcare, and distribution logistics — an occupational mix that shapes a therapy culture in which shift work stress, workplace injury adjustment, and career identity are common themes. The city has a significant Burmese refugee community — one of the largest in the United States — creating important demand for therapists with cultural competence around refugee trauma, resettlement stress, and the challenges of navigating American systems. Parkview Health and Lutheran Health Network provide major institutional mental health resources alongside a private practice community. Fort Wayne's conservative faith community means spiritually integrated approaches are a prominent feature of the local therapy offering.
