Are you looking to become more connected with yourself and your emotions? Perhaps you are struggling with trauma, relational conflicts, body image issues, OCD or Body-Focused Repetitive Behaviors. I tend to work with self described "over-thinkers" who might already be self-aware, but need help learning how to fully feel and express their emotions.

As a therapist who specializes in working with teenagers, I understand how important it is for parents to have confidence in the person they entrust with their child's mental health. Adolescence is a challenging time for both teens and parents, and it can be difficult to navigate the emotional and behavioral changes that come with this stage of life. That's why I take a collaborative approach to counseling, working closely with both parents and teens to develop personalized treatment plans that address their unique needs and concerns.

I help people get unstuck. We all have areas of our lives where we seem to stay paralyzed. We experience resistance to moving forward toward how we really want to live. Perhaps you have been longing to get healthy, or change careers, or improve your relationship, or learn how to say no to reduce stress. Perhaps you need help to get clear on what it is you truly want and what next steps to take. I help clients identify and question the negative limiting beliefs that prevent us from following true desires and dreams.

You’ve been feeling it for a while now—the sense that somewhere along the way you lost touch with the real you. The creativity, playfulness, or aliveness that once felt natural may now seem distant. Instead there may be self-doubt, old emotional wounds, or the quiet pressure to keep being who others needed you to be. You might find yourself replaying conversations, questioning your reactions, or wondering why certain patterns keep repeating. Beneath it all is a deeper longing—to understand yourself more fully, untangle the stories that shaped you, and reconnect with the part of you that feels authentic, vibrant, and truly your own.

I specialize generally in helping people in crisis and in helping people overcome trauma related to their adult and/or familial relationships.
I am a psychoanalytic psychotherapist with over 25 years of clinical experience. My practice is built on the philosophy that the therapy must fit the person. This work is rooted in a mentorship with Fred Pine and conducting research in Daniel Stern’s lab. As pioneers who integrated development and attachment into psychoanalytic theory, their clinical insights continue to influence my practice today. This provides the lens through which I view those in crisis, with anxiety, and trauma, as well as those navigating the impact of a parent or partner with Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD).

FAQ - About Adult Counseling
Why should adults see a therapist?
Adults may benefit from therapy for a wide range of reasons—whether it’s managing symptoms of a diagnosed mental health condition like anxiety or depression, navigating life transitions, coping with grief or trauma, or simply seeking support during a challenging life period. Many adults find that therapy helps them build healthier coping skills and better process their emotions, which may lead to better relationships and reduced stress. It’s important to note that, unlike psychiatrists or primary care physicians, therapists do not prescribe psychiatric medication. However, they will often work alongside prescribing clinicians to ensure coordinated care and can provide behavioral therapy as an important addition to psychiatric medication. Mental health concerns can look different in adulthood than in childhood or adolescence, so finding a therapist with expertise working with adult clients is important. Conditions like major depressive disorder (MDD), generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), bipolar disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), for instance, may present or resurface differently in adulthood than in childhood or adolescence. Adult-specific stressors, such as job strain, caregiving responsibilities, relationship challenges, financial stress, or identity transitions, can also influence the onset and type of symptoms an individual experiences. Adult-focused therapists, therefore, are trained to understand these complexities and tailor care accordingly.

How do I know if a therapist is the right fit for me?
When seeking care, it’s important to understand a therapist’s treatment specialties and their overall approach to treatment . Some therapists focus on common adult conditions like anxiety or depression, while others specialize in areas such as trauma, substance use disorders, or obsessive-compulsive disorder. It’s also important to consider a therapist’s training when seeking care. Therapists hold various licenses depending on their training and state requirements. Common therapy credentials include Licensed Clinical Social Workers (LCSWs), Licensed Mental Health Counselors (LMHCs), Licensed Professional Counselors (LPCs), and Licensed Marriage and Family Therapists (LMFTs). Psychologists (PhD or PsyD) receive additional doctoral-level training and may focus on assessments or more specialized therapeutic approaches. All of these professionals can provide talk therapy but do not prescribe medication. When searching for a therapist, consider their credentials and training background to ensure a good fit.

How do I find a therapist who sees adults?
Psychology Today’s online directory allows you to search specifically for therapists who work with adults. Each provider profile includes key information such as clinical specialties, therapeutic approaches, licensure, accepted insurance plans, languages spoken, and session fees. Reviewing these details can help you determine whether a particular provider aligns with your needs and can indicate whether they are a good match for adult clients.
