I have experience working with children, adolescents, adults, and families.
On a more personal level, I enjoy traveling and refer to myself as a coffee connoisseur. I also have two small dogs that think they run the world and like to introduce themselves from time to time in my sessions. I always have a plan but I believe some of life's greatest adventures are in taking the scenic route.

You don’t have to have it all figured out to begin. Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected or caught in patterns that no longer work for you, therapy can be a place to pause, breathe, and reset. I work with individuals navigating trauma, addiction, anxiety, depression, and a range of other mental health concerns and I deeply respect the courage it takes to reach out.

As a former high school teacher, I have helped adolescents as they transition into adulthood.
I use a skill-based approach to help clients learn and grow in their emotional wellness. I also incorporate a lot of mindfulness as clients learn to name and express their emotions. Finally, I love exploring spirituality (regardless of belief system) and incorporating this into treatment.

Do you need guidance as you navigate the world? Therapy has a way of clarifying the inventory of your strengths and challenges as an individual, a couple or family. I have worked with all ages as a trained, trauma-informed therapist. I also have experience with neurodivergence if that’s you. I have sat with those in crisis, working through life dilemmas, and wondering how to be themselves. Some clients tell stories, others paint, use a sand tray and yet others learn somatic exercises to help them return to their bodies, where healing begins.

Are you overwhelmed, stressed out, and feel like no matter how hard you try it's just not enough? During these difficult times, we all have a longing to be heard, valued, and respected. Helping individuals and families find peace and joy again is my passion. My approach with families is fun and interactive to give them the tools to learn to talk with one another about daily issues without feeling like every conversation turns into a battle. I work with families, couples, and individuals who often have difficulty communicating their emotions and needs without conflict.

As a therapist, I am most excited to see clients motivated to explore their unknown strengths, widen their horizons, increase their abilities to make informed decisions and lead a life of meaning as they define it. Everyone I have worked with brings to therapy a foundation upon which to grow. Regardless of the problem, an enhanced sense of self is possible. Instilling hope of something better in life is one of my greatest motivations, and assisting others in achieving their goals drew me to this profession.

I help young adults and adults navigate life transitions, trauma, infertility, anxiety, and identity exploration.
Are you currently or in the past going through a significant life transition; whether that's graduating, starting a new career, experiencing changes in relationships, or questioning your identity? You could be feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of what's next, and that could often carry self-doubt, anxiety, or the lingering weight of past trauma. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling like they "should" have it all figured out by now, but internally, they're navigating a storm of questions, emotions, and unmet needs. If you are seeking support, connection and tools to help you feel your best, look no further.

I rely on my faith, an integrative education, and continual study of Ericksonian Hypnosis (please ask). My 30yr marriage to Jennifer, who has similar training in marriage & family therapy, and 4 kids all add greatly to my knowledge, awareness, and experience. Bridging good science, spirituality, and responsible religion, perhaps, while assisting my clients to recognize their resources defines my role as therapist. Very intelligent people seek therapy when it seems they have tried everything they know; yet, the struggle continues. Some seek therapy for help in discerning their options. It is not meant for us to do this alone.

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.
