Let’s be honest: life can be a lot! If you're feeling stuck, stressed, or just trying to figure out why your brain insists on running marathons at 3 AM—you're in the right place. I'm here to help you sort through the chaos with humor, heart, and maybe a few bad metaphors. Here therapy is judgment-free, sometimes messy, often insightful, and occasionally involves me saying, “Wait, say that again—because we are on to something!” Whether you're dealing with anxiety, past trauma, life transitions, or just need someone to say, “Yeah, that actually is a big deal,” I’ve got you.

I advocate to bridge the gaps between the brain and body, individuals and societal resources, seeking to improve the overall well-being within our communities by meeting the needs of the individual and their families. Whether someone is dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, or just needs a "check in", my goal is to allow space for those things to exist until they can be put in their proper place where they do not consume someone's life in a debilitating way. To do this I employ several methods of therapy some of which include the CBT, DBT, internal family systems, and sandtray therapy.

I believe therapy can be a process of discovering and living at home within ourselves—feeling at home in our bodies, with our stories, and in our truth. It’s about finding a sense of safety from within.
When we experience stress, trauma, or disconnection, our systems are designed to adapt and protect us. Those adaptations can help us make it through tough experiences, though sometimes they can become longer-term patterns that keep us from living as fully or authentically as we would like.

I work with adults and couples, anywhere from the brink of divorce to “just going through a rough time,” to deepen their connections with others and themselves, build new skills, and bring clarity to their goals and vision.
Life transitions, the demands of running a family, raising kids, a high pressure and stressful job, money concerns, and children’s needs can all erode the time and energy you have to put into your relationship.

We need a path. Without it, the inevitable challenges of life become incredibly difficult. But right now, you might not be thinking that.

With over six years of experience, I support adults, teens, and families through crisis with steady, compassionate care, helping them regain stability, build resilience, and move forward with greater clarity and confidence.
Life can feel overwhelming, especially when you’ve been trying to grow in conditions that seem impossible. My work is inspired by the Bitterroot flower, which thrives in rocky terrain with little soil and few resources, often lying dormant for years; appearing lifeless before blooming again. Its story reminds us that healing, growth, and renewal are possible even after seasons of hardship, trauma, or loss.
With over 6 years of experience, I walk alongside individuals facing pain, transition, and uncertainty, helping them reconnect with their strengths, make sense of their story, and cultivate hope, clarity, and meaningful change.

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.
