I’m a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with over 25 years of professional experience supporting high-functioning adolescents and adults with a range of challenges, including depression, anxiety, stress, life transitions, relationship issues, and family pressures.

Prior to treatment, we struggle with mental health issues by fighting or ignoring the parts of us experiencing those problems. Eventually we learn that doing so results only in those problems becoming stronger and louder. Instead, I often begin therapy by teaching skills that can improve resilience to stress and quickly bring relief. Then we become curious about the parts of us that are struggling so that we can understand what they need from us in order to better take care of them. Mindful curiosity leads to understanding, understanding leads to compassion, and compassion heals.

I am a psychoanalytically trained psychotherapist whose primary focus is on developing a relationship of trust between therapist and client that is essential to the healing process. I put a strong emphasis on the importance of the client's comfort in the room both physically and emotionally. Although I encourage my clients to say everything, I also think their instincts regarding when and how much they want to share should be respected. Respecting the boundaries and privacy of my clients is something I regard as the foundation of a good therapeutic relationship.

Through various techniques, my orientation is to help you access your true nature, your inner authority. Creating a welcoming environment within which you can get in touch with the wounded parts of yourself with compassion and insight, rather than judgment and rejection. Seeing clearly with compassion into your habitual reactive patterns of thinking, feeling, and acting will expand your awareness and open you up to new possibilities of healing and living. The guiding question is: How can you more deeply and more tenderly embrace your human experience?

I usually find that clients managing anxiety, depression, loss and/or addiction are first looking for a compassionate listener with the experience and knowledge that facilitates emerging inner strength. My approach is compassionate, non-judgmental and professional. Frequently my clients have issues with drugs or alcohol and I may work also with their partners, family, or concerned friends. I feel it is critical for everyone involved to know that they are not alone in their struggles, that support and guidance are available and that therapy has helped people feel better than they thought possible.

I work with children, teens, and adults struggling with depression, anxiety, or trauma that negatively impacts their daily life.
We live in a world that doesn't slow down - the pressure is constant, and most of us don't realize the toll it takes on our mental health. It can lead to stress, anxiety, and overwhelming feelings. I hope to provide a safe and comfortable space to unpack and understand these experiences. During difficult times, we may just need a little assistance. Together, we can explore healthier, more effective ways to tackle life's challenges.

I entered my doctoral program in counseling psychology with the aim of integrating what I had already learned through study of meditation and Buddhist practice with the technology of Western concepts of wellness and health. I came out with a deep appreciation for the many ways that people arrive at a counselor's door and the many ways they leave. Throughout our lives we constantly face new challenges, leaving home, coupling, parenting, careering, retiring all present challenges we've never faced before. At any point along the way we may be called on to marshal new resources or adapt old strategies that are no longer working.

I am drawn to working with tweens, teens, young adults and those in helping professions.
I know how difficult it can be to take this first step. As a clinician my goal is to give you the space to explore who you are, what is not serving you in your life, hold on to what is still serving you, and get to where you want to be through integrating new learning through the process. As a clinician I understand that navigating the many systems of our society brings numerous challenges for youth, adolescents, and families. I practice with a person centered approach grounded in intersectional feminism with a transformative and non-binary lens.

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.
