We all want to live peaceful, productive and happy lives. We long for the company of family and friends, the comfort of loving relationships and the security of a safe, peaceful and prosperous world. But the wear and tear of life can create emotional, spiritual and psychological challenges. Much of what we experience in life is influenced by the lenses through which we view our world. I believe that people have all they need to address the problems they face. My task is to help them find those resources, skills, and talents that reside within and apply them in ways that will enable the individual to live their best life.

You're doing everything for everyone- but you're running on empty. You love your kids, but you miss yourself. Most days feel like a blur of messes, meltdowns, mental lists, and trying to keep it all together. Maybe you've been told you are "too sensitive" or "just need to be more organized." Maybe you've even wondered if there's something wrong with you. You're not lazy. You're not failing. You're just completely exhausted. Whether you're navigating a recent ADHD or anxiety diagnosis (or suspect you might be), juggling the mental load of motherhood, or just feeling like you're drowning in invisible expectations- you are not alone.

You want to make changes in your world, but you feel overwhelmed. Feelings of stress and anxiety leave you unsure of where to even start. You would like to talk to someone, but you are afraid of being misunderstood and judged. The loneliness from not being able to open up about what is happening just creates more helplessness, confusion, and pain.

Navigating the highs and lows—including the moments that scare or overwhelm us—is a journey we all share. Many times we find ways to cope and move forward, yet other times the weight of life’s challenges can feel too overwhelming to manage alone. Thoughts and emotions may begin to feel unrelenting, and it can seem like there’s no way through. If you're in that place right now, I want you to know you're not alone. I would be honored to support you in discovering new insights, perspectives, and strategies to help you navigate these difficult moments—both now and in the future.

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.
