Elderly Persons Disorders Therapists in Oklahoma City, OK

I help adults and families navigate the emotional impact of aging-related concerns, including cognitive changes, caregiver stress, grief, role shifts, and questions about identity and independence. Therapy can provide support, practical coping tools, and space to process the many feelings that often come with this stage of life.

Getting to advanced age can be a blessing, but it also presents many challenges. Retirement, lifestyle changes, health issues, cognitive decline, are just some of those challenges. Finding purpose and value in all life stages requires accepting changes and adapting to new circumstances.

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.

I am committed to serving older adults. I have extensive experience working with clients who are navigating challenges of aging, the loss of a spouse or partner, challenges with adult children, and the social and emotional challenges of aging.

Oklahoma City's mental health landscape was profoundly shaped by the 1995 bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building — one of the deadliest domestic terrorist attacks in American history — and collective trauma, resilience, and healing remain embedded in the city's identity and its therapy community. The city has a significant Native American population, and therapists offering trauma-informed, culturally grounded care for Indigenous clients — including work on historical and intergenerational trauma — are an important part of the local landscape. Oklahoma's opioid and substance use crisis places addiction recovery and co-occurring trauma among the most pressing concerns therapists address. OU Health and Mercy Oklahoma City serve as major institutional anchors alongside a growing network of private practitioners.
