I've helped adults, adolescents, couples and families, all who struggled with significant problems: anger, depression, suicide, relationship problems, trauma, self-hatred, substance abuse; homelessness.
I believe a big part of therapy is understanding the nature of change: how hard it is, what gets in the way, what your individual motivation is (which is usually how much you're suffering!) and what helps you create change. If you're ready and willing and needing to change - I'd love to work with you. 19 years experience, with trainings in trauma, anxiety, personality disorders, depression and anxiety

In the real lives of everyday people stuff happens. Some of it hurts a little. Some of it hurts for a lifetime. I use several evidence-based therapies to help work through feelings of abuse, betrayal, danger, and damage to recover, repair, and rebuild. Finding hope and help is a great start. This is hard work and it's not always fun work, but for a life with more control, awareness, and acceptance, it's work worth doing.

If you had to describe your life lately in one word, maybe it’s overwhelmed. Big life transitions—starting a new career, navigating relationships, family conflict, grief, or even the constant stream of news—can stir up a complex mix of emotions. You may find yourself feeling disconnected from loved ones, questioning your decisions, or lying awake at night wondering when things will feel manageable again. If any of this resonates, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to move through it alone.

I have 9 years of experience helping adults and teens with issues that range from general anxiety to complex trauma.
My ideal client doesn't fit into a mold of a particular diagnosis or behavior. My ideal client is a client that wants their life, their outlook, or how they relate to the various pieces to be different. Based on this approach I have built many successful relaitonships with clients as they navigate various types of trauma, mood disorders, behavioral disorders, and navigating difficult transitions, however temporary.

The secret is out, but it's not too late to manage the exposure. A compulsive fixation with love and sex, kept private for years, may have become impossible to hide. A partner discovered the late-night affairs and weekend lovers. HR has begun questioning escort charges that quietly appeared on the company card and missed meetings for hookups. The one person who occupied every waking thought and fantasy has found out, and rejected them, publicly, without hesitation. What was private is now known, with no way to pick up the pieces. Clients arrive here mid-panic, unable to hold it together alone, and that is when Alafiora comes in.

Problem gambling is one of the most hidden addictions in the U.S. due to the shame and stigma associated with gambling problems. Many people still mistake problem gambling for a moral problem or simply see it as poor choice making, rather than understanding the complex brain hijacking that problem gambling is for some people who can’t quit. Several neurotransmitters including dopamine, serotonin, glutamate, opioids, to name a few, are acting simultaneously on the brain during problem gambling.

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.
