I also offer Family Based Treatment (FBT) for teens and young adults with eating problems.
Healing immensely personal, often secret and shameful struggles with body hate, bingeing, purging, restricting, and other related behaviors takes courage and commitment. You may want to change, or have begun the recovery process, but also feel ambivalent and fearful about how and what it means to recover. If this resonates, you are not alone. Recovery is possible and finding peace with food, mind, and body is worth the arduous journey-whether this is your first attempt at treatment or you have completed multiple treatments. I also help caregivers in their role supporting a loved one with an eating disorder.

A client who comes to me with honesty, is willing to work towards their goals is an ideal client. Anxiety, trauma, depression and family problems are problems that I treat with skill and sensitivity. Parents who need help parenting, children who suffer from a trauma, teens who are depressed and stressed out, couples who can't figure out why they are fighting so much when they really love each other, wives who struggle with low self esteem, people of any age who are very lonely, all need someone to help them sort out their challenges. "We are all just trying to do life!" That often that means asking for help.

I offer therapy for a variety of mental health issues and have an extensive background in depth psychology and Jungian therapy. I enjoy working with individuals who are interested in deeply understanding themselves. In contrast to mainstream approaches to therapy, which focus on teaching skills or challenging a person's thinking, I emphasize working to understand the emotional-relational-spiritual roots of my client's psychology. It is at this deeper level that lasting change can occur.

If there is one thing I have learned as a therapist, it is reflected in this quote by Carl Rogers: “What is most personal is most universal”. We all hurt. We are all insecure. You are not alone. Though I believe we are more alike than different, not everyone’s therapy experience should be the same. Together, we would create a personalized therapy experience that suits your conversation style, personality, needs, pace. My job is to offer reframes and counterpoints, and sometimes challenge you. Therapy can be hard, but we can also have fun. I use humor to work through hard sh-t and I use hope as the engine to move you forward.

Grief is ever-present within our lives. Whether it’s an abrupt shift in our daily routine, a noticeable difference within ourselves, or a transition of our career, we experience it. We feel it after a change in our relationship, the loss of a pet, or, a heartbreaking death of a loved one. All change results in loss of some sort, and that which accompanies it, is grief. Grief can leave us feeling stuck, overwhelmed, and scared. We feel exposed and vulnerable. We begin to question ourselves and the world we are in. Whatever your grief, know that I will honor it with attuned presence.

Are you thinking about changing your drinking or substance use, but not sure the typical “go to rehab” approach fits for you? I work with people who want a more individualized, thoughtful way forward. Some have been through treatment before and are looking for something different. Others don’t need a higher level of care, but want to take a closer look at their use while still managing work, family, and daily life. My approach is practical, collaborative, and grounded in real-world addiction treatment. We’ll work to understand what’s going on and build a plan that fits you.

After taking some time to build rapport with clients, I tend to use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (shortened CBT) to find ways to help clients think differently about their struggles to find solutions together in order for them to meet their goals. We can also take a look at your history to discover the roots of behavioral patterns.

I believe that a successful therapeutic relationship can become the catalyst to change, one interaction, one session at a time. Therapy sessions with me are targeted to provide security in the vulnerability required to do the deep and restorative work necessary to make positive change. My job as a therapist is to create a relationship that honors that space and guides my clients through growth personally, in their relationships, and their lives as a whole. My background and experience in child psychology lends itself to insight into parenting as well as reflection upon family of origin as it manifests in the present.

I offer in-person and virtual therapy for adults Monday - Friday.
My ideal client is someone who’s driven and capable, but who is quietly struggling with anxiety, panic, or emotional exhaustion beneath the surface. They’ve spent time performing at a high level, often in fast-paced, high-pressure environments, and they’ve gotten used to holding it all together. But lately, the internal pressure feels unsustainable. They may be experiencing racing thoughts, sleeplessness, irritability, or moments of panic they can’t explain.
What they want most is relief—and space. Space to breathe, to not have to be “on,” and to be honest about what they’re feeling.

I help adults who feel overwhelmed, burned out, or stuck after difficult life experiences find relief and reconnect with a sense of calm and joy.
I’m especially passionate about working with high-achieving professionals, healthcare workers, mental health providers, and first responders who are used to caring for others while carrying their own stress or trauma.

From the outside, your life may look successful, but inside, you're exhausted from carrying the mental load. You overthink texts before sending them, replay conversations long after they've ended, and feel deeply responsible for keeping everyone else happy. Setting boundaries brings guilt, resting feels unproductive, and your body rarely feels at ease. Even when there's no crisis, your nervous system struggles to believe it's safe to relax. Together, we'll make sense of these patterns and help your mind and body find greater balance, safety, and ease.

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.
