Are you feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship struggles, or difficult family dynamics? Maybe you are navigating divorce or separation, parenting challenges, caregiving for a loved one, chronic illness, boundaries, or the emotional weight of supporting someone with mental illness.
When life feels heavy, it can be hard to know where to begin. You may feel emotionally exhausted, stuck, worried, or like you are carrying everything on your own. Even highly capable people can reach a point where they need support.

I enjoy working with people as they navigate life transitions - high school students preparing for college, twenty-somethings figuring out life post-college, people in early recovery, new parents, women navigating motherhood, older adults post-retirement.

As a fellow human being, I’m intimately familiar with sadness, confusion, regret, shame, grief, disappointment, fear and rejection. And let me tell you, it’s not always easy doing this thing called life.

I specialize in treating social anxiety and trauma, especially in neurodivergent teens and adults.
I am unusual in two ways. First, I have spent decades helping neurodivergent teens and adults succeed in relationships, work, and academics. Second, I have a lot of experience working across cultures. It has become easy for me to adapt my approach to harmonize with those from other countries, particularly those whose first language isn't English.

Relationships can reach places where hope feels uncertain, communication breaks down, and it's difficult to know what comes next. Some couples long for closeness while others need clarity as they find themselves on the brink. Whether you're longing to reconnect, questioning the future of your relationship, or feeling pulled in different directions, you don't have to navigate that uncertainty 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.
