Whether you want a healthier relationship with yourself or with your partner, I’m here to help. Many of my clients come to me feeling stuck—caught in self-criticism, easily triggered, overwhelmed by overthinking, or unable to access the confidence and steadiness they know is possible. You may look “fine” on the outside while internally feeling off-base, reactive, or disconnected from who you truly are. You want more authentic confidence, emotional security, and relationships that feel safe, connected, and lasting.
For couples, you may be having the same conversations that repeatedly turn into misunderstanding, conflict, or emotion

My caseload is mainly, but not solely, comprised of teens and young adults.
You push hard. You set goals and hit them. And somewhere along the way, you stopped asking whether any of it actually feels good. Maybe a big life change has left you wondering who you are outside of your achievements. Or maybe you just know you're capable of more, but can't figure out what's standing in your way.
I work with high achievers, athletes, coaches, and people who are used to being the one who has it all together, until they're not. Together, we dig into what could be driving the burnout, the perfectionism, or the anxiety underneath the surface, and use that to find your path and embrace the climb.

My clients are individuals and couples who notice the same relational patterns repeating. They come stuck in situationship loops, pursue-withdraw cycles, or relationships with emotionally unavailable partners. Some are grieving connections that never landed. Others are exhausted from carrying the emotional weight alone. What they share is a readiness to understand what's driving the pattern, not just manage symptoms. I use EFT, ACT, and attachment-based approaches to help clients trace these patterns to their origin, regulate their nervous system, and build the capacity for secure, intentional connection.

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.
