You're wanting to feel alive and comfortable in your own skin, but you find yourself freezing up or overwhelmed with images from the past or stuck in ways you can't explain. While talking about it can be helpful, if you're dealing with a trauma or ingrained stress response, it gets stuck in the body and talking alone doesn't unlock the trauma patterns in the body. Body-based modalities combined with talking really help to unwind trauma patterns. If you come see me, we won't only sit in chairs talking.

This often gives clients relief from depression and anxiety because they have discovered their triggers, thought patterns and internal beliefs that have lead them to their presenting symptoms. I love serving couples who struggle with communication and have a desire to feel connected and "seen" by their partner.

This includes veterans, first responders, therapists, and high-functioning adults who are ready to address internal dynamics with honesty and depth.
I use Brainspotting, parts work, and polyvagal-informed therapy to access what talk therapy cannot reach. Clients describe this process as precise, focused, and transformative, it’s not passive work. It requires readiness, curiosity, and a willingness to meet the parts of yourself that have been held in protection.

I support moms and adults navigating changes in identity, relationships, work, and family roles, as well as challenges with focus, organization, and overwhelm.
Do you feel disconnected from yourself as you move through major life transitions—whether becoming a mother, adjusting to co-parenting after divorce, or navigating changes in your family, identity, or daily life? Do you find your own needs constantly pushed aside while you focus on everyone else? Many mothers experience shifts in identity during these seasons, often alongside anxiety, overwhelm, and uncertainty about who they are outside of caregiving roles. Therapy offers a space to slow down and reconnect with yourself.

I believe that the brain and its mind is the most powerful muscle in the body. Our mind can be our greatest asset but also our greatest challenge. My goal is to help clients gain more awareness of their mind, thought patterns, and limiting self-beliefs they hold about themselves. I aim to help clients create a more cohesive relationship with the mind and self. I do this by helping clients focus on decreasing reactivity, practicing acceptance, and being more present. The hope is that this will help clients better deal with aversion and discomfort through these practices.

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.
