Many people come to therapy when something in life feels overwhelming, painful of difficult to move through alone. I work with individuals experiencing trauma, life transitions, anxiety and depression, among others. My goal is to provide a compassionate space where you feel understood and supported. Beyond my graduate training, I have advanced trainings in EMDR, Anchored Relational Model Theory, and complex family systems, which help clients process trauma at a deeper level and create lasting emotional change. We have online scheduling, work with most insurance companies and a client simply needs to be in the state.

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.

My approach to therapy is relational, integrative, and tailored to each person. I believe deeply in people’s capacity to change and offer compassionate, non-judgmental support grounded in years of experience treating trauma (including PTSD with Prolonged Exposure), anxiety, and substance-use–related concerns. I bring humor and humanity into the work because therapy is easier when we can relax. If I’m not the right fit, I’ll help guide you to someone who is.

If you’re looking to better understand why you think, feel, or respond the way you do, and how to navigate those feelings with more clarity and compassion, you’re not alone. Maybe you’re motivated for change and self-exploration but unsure where to begin, or you’re struggling with anxiety, overwhelm, or past experiences that continue to affect you, even when you feel like you “should be over it” by now. Taking the first step towards therapy is an act of self-compassion and a powerful investment in your well-being.

I work with individuals who would like to dive deeper into understanding themselves and their relationships. Many times, emotions and behaviors which have served to protect us and ensure our survival in the past are no longer serving us in the present. These automatic responses are difficult to alter if we do not understand their origins and actively work to create new ways of interacting with the world around us.

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.
