The world right now feels heavy, unsettling, and exhausting. In the midst of uncertainty and collective stress, I strive to create a space that feels calm, grounded, and restorative while honoring the reality of these times. That might look like intentionally slowing down when everything around us feels rushed, tense or overwhelming. We’ll move at a pace that honors your needs and your nervous system. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, trauma, depression, or the emotional weight of living through these times, you don’t have to carry it alone. Therapy isn’t about fixing you, it's about connection with mind, body, spirit & each other.

I work with young adults and people navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, life transitions, as well as challenges with self-worth and relationships.
Hi! I approach therapy with warmth, curiosity, and a touch of humor- because growth and healing doesn't have to be all heavy. I like to create a space where you can be yourself, feel heard, and explore life's twists and turns at a pace that works for you. Whether you're navigating a big change, processing past experiences, or just seeking a space to reflect and grow, I'm here for you- and we'll figure out practical strategies together along the way. Expect honesty, empathy, and maybe a little laughter sprinkled in, too.

Much of my experience has been working with young adults navigating their way through life while managing their mental health symptoms, substance use, and ongoing recovery.
I take an intersectional, anti-oppressive, and holistic approach to therapy. This approach involves meeting my clients where they’re at, focusing on the therapeutic relationship, and working together to create realistic goals that are relevant to your life and needs. I am empathetic, direct, and keep it real while maintaining compassion. Most importantly, I believe that therapy can (and should) be fun! I pride myself in creating a therapeutic space where my clients can work on the hard stuff, but also take space to laugh and just be human.

I have extensive experience working with pre-teens (ages 10-12), teenagers and adults in a variety of settings, including school mental health, outpatient mental health, and residential services.
Beginning therapy can be an overwhelming process and finding the right fit with a therapist is key to facilitating change. While I have many “tools in my toolbox” through years of experience and training, I believe the most important piece in the therapeutic relationship is connection and creating a safe space to allow vulnerability to be present. I utilize an attachment and trauma lens in my work, as I believe we learn how to function given the families, relationships and communities in which we grow up.

I work with adult individuals who struggle with a myriad of challenges but primarily focus on self esteem/identity, anxiety, depression, relational challenges and intergenerational trauma.
I understand that during our life journey, we may experience psychological, emotional, and relational distress. Sometimes we know what is causing it but we don’t necessarily know what to do about it. At other times we don’t actually know what is causing the discomfort or pain, but we know we feel it. This is where therapy can be very helpful. I find it a privilege to walk alongside each of my clients as they work to better understand their thoughts, feelings, and experiences and the impact it's had and continues to have on them.

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.
