Psychotherapy for Adults

I work with adults at many stages of life on a wide range of emotional and relational concerns. I strongly believe that you do not need to be in crisis to benefit from support.

My Approach

My style is warm, collaborative, and reflective. I aim to create a space where you can speak openly, feel understood, and bring your full self into the room.

I believe therapy can help you better understand your story—what you have lived through, how you have adapted, and what has helped you survive. Together, we can notice patterns that may now be keeping you stuck and experiment with new ways of responding, both in therapy and in your daily life. Over time, these new experiences can create room for different ways of thinking, feeling, and relating.

Our work together will be guided by your goals, strengths, and hopes for change.

Therapy May Help With

  • Anxiety, depression, or emotional overwhelm

  • Relationship or family stress

  • Grief, loss, or anticipated loss

  • Care-giving responsibilities

  • Illness, aging, retirement, or changes in independence

  • Loneliness or isolation

  • Long-standing emotional patterns

  • Major life transitions

What Sessions Are Like

Sessions offer time to slow down and talk honestly about what you are experiencing. We will begin by talking about what brings you to therapy, what you hope may feel different, and whether ongoing therapy feels like the right fit.

Areas of Special Focus

  • Anxiety and depression can show up as worry, sadness, irritability, numbness, low motivation, trouble sleeping, or feeling disconnected from yourself or others.

    Therapy can help you better understand what you are feeling, notice patterns that may be keeping you stuck, and develop more compassionate ways of coping.

  • Grief can affect your relationships, routines, mood, body, identity, and sense of the future. It may also bring up anxiety, family conflict, loneliness, or questions about meaning and purpose.

    My background in hospice and bereavement counseling has given me experience supporting people through recent losses, long-ago losses, anticipated losses, and the complex emotions that can arise before and after a death.

  • Caregiving can be meaningful, exhausting, isolating, and emotionally complicated. Many caregivers carry love, guilt, resentment, tenderness, grief, and fatigue all at once.

    I have experience facilitating caregiver support groups and working with families navigating illness, decline, hospice, and end-of-life care. Therapy can offer a private space to speak honestly about what caregiving asks of you and what support you may need.

  • Relationships can become more complicated during times of stress, caregiving, grief, illness, or transition. Therapy can help you better understand your needs, boundaries, communication patterns, and emotional responses within important relationships.

  • Aging and illness can bring changes in independence, identity, family roles, relationships, and plans for the future. Therapy can help you make sense of these changes and find emotional steadiness during a time that may feel unfamiliar.
