I work with adults navigating chronic illness, trauma, anxiety, ADHD, and burnout.
One of my favorite parts of this work is watching clients have those "Wait...my nervous system thought it was protecting me?" moments. We also celebrate the weird wins around here. Ate lunch before 3 p.m.? Amazing. Asked for help? Incredible. Rested without feeling guilty? That's therapist happy dance territory.

I have over 3 years of experience supporting adults (18 and up) in both general psychotherapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT).
What does a life worth living look like for you? This can be a challenging question—because, let’s face it, life is hard. My goal is to help you hold the reality of life’s challenges while also supporting you in building a life that feels meaningful and fulfilling.
Throughout this process, we as humans tend to realize that barriers to change are real. Whether it's due to internal factors (i.e., overwhelming thoughts, difficult emotions, maladaptive behaviors), external factors (i.e., work stressors, relationship concerns, other life demands), or a combination of both, we’ll explore them together and find a path forward.

I work with highly intelligent, capable individuals and couples who feel frustrated and defeated, having spent months, and often years, stuck in a cycle they can’t seem to shake on their own. I help people take back control of their lives through a holistic and collaborative approach.

I help adults navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use, and life transitions through thoughtful, culturally responsive care.
You may look like you’re managing on the outside, but inside you feel anxious, low, or emotionally drained. Depression, stress, past experiences, or life transitions may have left you feeling disconnected or stuck in patterns around mood or substance use that no longer feel helpful. You want to feel more balanced, present, and in control of your choices—not just coping, but making changes that last.

I enjoy working with teens (16+) and adults, and I have a special interest in anxiety, life transitions, over-intellectualizing, and young adults experiencing grief & loss.
Life can sometimes leave us feeling disconnected- whether that be from ourselves, our relationships, our bodies, or our sense of purpose. No matter the area in which you are seeking support, I offer a cozy space to connect, slow down, and wade through those waters together.
My approach is eclectic and holistic, honoring the connection between mind, body, and spirit. I also enjoy incorporating mindfulness-based practices, such as breath work, mindful movement, nature, and laughter.
I believe deeply that therapy is a team effort, and I value taking the time to create unique goals and treatment plans with every client.

The people I work with often feel disconnected from the deep intimacy they desire with friends, family, and partners. After experiences of harm or trauma, relationships might feel risky, exhausting, or unsatisfying. Together we'll work to understand how you show up in relationships and why, exploring what it could look like to be more fully seen and loved.
My aim is to nurture a safe environment where you feel heard, held, and gently challenged as you observe your patterns, reclaim choice, grow self-compassion, and come into greater alignment with your hopes and values. Your autonomy and security are centered every step of the way.

It has been my privilege to work with children, adolescents, and adults struggling with relationship issues, mood disorders and overcoming trauma from their past.
It's our reality that human beings struggle at times along the road of life. I have had the opportunity to work with individuals, couples and families get over and through these life obstacles. I have been honored and amazed to witness people conquer fears, addictions and harmful experiences that have left them tired and gasping on that road, and once again pick themselves up and journey onwards.

I have learned that how we chose to relate to caregivers in childhood influences how we create and maintain relationships in adulthood.
Primarily, I reference psychodynamic, internal family systems and mindfulness theories as I work with patients, and I aim to create a strong therapeutic bond that allows patients to feel safe exploring new ways of being. I also consider how institutional racism plays a role in self-cohesion and offer a space to shed colonial conditioning.

I have been in private practice since 1991 and have previously worked in medical, rehabilitation, college counseling, and community mental health settings.
I know that asking for help is not easy. Trusting someone you don't know with very personal information requires a leap of faith. Understandably, you may want to know what to expect, should you decide to work with me.
Initially, I will work to identify the particular issues that you want to address and then collaborate with you to develop goals and strategies. Throughout the process, I will listen carefully, drawing out particular material for discussion and presenting new information to help you see yourself and your choices with a new perspective. I will suggest possible courses of action, recognizing that only you can decide whether to follow any suggestions that come from the counseling process.

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.
