I work with adult individuals experiencing trauma, anxiety, relationship difficulties and many other concerns using IFS.
Experiencing anxiety, perfectionism, depression or self-criticism? Want to understand triggers you experience in relationships or social settings? We all have protective strategies that are trying to help us but can often get in the way of feeling the freedom to express ourselves the way we want. I believe we each have the inner resources to experience more calm, courage, connectedness, and confidence once we release the obstacles and burdens we carry and learn to relate to ourselves differently.

My approach to therapy is focused on providing the tools and coping skills needed to manage struggles, build self awareness and enhance insight into the root cause of your internal discomfort. Building insight may involve discussing core beliefs that developed during childhood or within relational experiences and exploring how these impact your current thought patterns and relationships. I specialize in treating women who are struggling to navigate the pregnancy or postpartum period, or who are experiencing infertility. I often work with individuals to enhance assertiveness, empowerment, and confidence.

We all have running narratives about who we are in this world. We use certain words to describe ourselves, like “I’m too sensitive.” “I’m an anxious person.” “I’m not good enough.” While these stories are based on real experiences, they can also hold power over our self-esteem, our decision-making, and our relationships. In therapy, we will work to understand yourself and the world around you in new ways that feel more accepting, empowering and expansive.

Finding a therapist that gets you and matches with your personality is so challenging and can be a barrier to any mental health journey. I get it, so let me give the best summary of my approach and what I’m about:
I’m from the great generation of millennials and describe myself as a no BS free spirit. Though helping clients through problems is a passion of mine, my other true love is work with animals, so I like volunteering at my local animal shelter when I’m not with my fur babies. My personal life is full of quality time with my husband, family and friends, and I’m always eager for a new adventure.

Adults Therapists
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.
