Growing old is not for the faint of heart! Everything changes, our relationships, our bodies, our minds. Let me help you explore how to recreate yourself during these later years.

I can help with elderly phase of life issues. During our collaborative experience together, I will provide an empathic and caring space to help you move through your struggles, so you can live your best life. Together we will find ways towards a path of feeling better, leaning new coping skills to reconnect with your internal self.

I work with older adults and their families who are navigating cognitive changes, neurological conditions, and emotional challenges related to aging. Therapy focuses on emotional support, coping strategies, and maintaining quality of life while addressing concerns such as memory changes, adjustment to illness, and the stress that can come with these transitions.

We provide psychotherapy tailored to the unique needs of older adults, with a focus on supporting emotional well-being, life transitions, and overall quality of life in later years. Our approach addresses concerns such as grief and loss, depression, anxiety, chronic illness, cognitive changes, and adjustment to aging-related challenges. We integrate cognitive therapy principles and health psychology to support overall wellness, strengthen coping skills, and promote healthy behavior change. We work collaboratively with clients to enhance resilience and foster a sense of purpose, dignity, and connection throughout the aging process.

As a psychologist specializing in geriatric care, my approach to treatment is holistic, person-centered, and tailored to the unique needs of older adults. I prioritize building a trusting and compassionate therapeutic relationship, recognizing the diverse life experiences and challenges that come with aging. Through evidence-based therapies such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), supportive counseling, and reminiscence therapy, I address a wide range of concerns including adjustment to life transitions, grief and loss, depression, anxiety, and cognitive changes. I collaborate closely with other healthcare professionals and family members to ensure comprehensive care and support. Additionally, I integrate strengths-based approaches to help older adults identify and leverage their resilience and coping skills. My goal is to promote emotional well-being, enhance quality of life, and empower older adults to navigate the aging process with dignity and resilience.

Overland Park is one of the most affluent suburbs in the Kansas City metro — anchored by a growing healthcare sector and a large concentration of financial services and technology firms — creating consistent demand for therapists working with corporate burnout, perfectionism, and the relationship pressures that come with high-achieving suburban family life. The city's predominantly White, upper-middle-class character coexists with a growing South Asian and East Asian professional population that adds cultural diversity to therapy demand. Johnson County Mental Health Center provides community mental health resources alongside a well-developed private therapy community concentrated in southern Overland Park. The city's suburban character and dispersed layout contribute to social isolation concerns that therapists increasingly encounter in their work.
