Something feels off and it has for a while
Individual Therapy for Adults
Therapy isn’t about someone nodding at you while you talk. It’s about saying the hard things out loud, figuring out why you do what you do, and walking out with something you can actually use.
I work with adults who are dealing with things that have been building for a while, stress that’s leaked into every part of your life, relationships that feel harder than they should, and the kind of anxiety that makes it difficult to just exist without worrying about the next thing.
My approach combines clinical depth with practical tools. I don’t just help you understand the “why.” I help you change the “what now.”
What I Help Adults With
-
Anxiety & Overwhelm
The racing thoughts, the constant worry, the feeling that something bad is about to happen even when nothing is wrong. I help you understand what’s driving it and build strategies to manage it, not just cope with it.
-
Depression & Low Mood
When everything feels heavy and even the things you used to enjoy feel flat. We’ll work through what’s underneath it and rebuild momentum, one session at a time.
-
Health Anxiety
When worry about your body takes over your life. Constant symptom-checking, Googling, needing reassurance. I help you break the cycle and learn to tolerate uncertainty without spiraling.
-
Grief & Loss
Grief doesn’t follow a timeline. Whether your loss was recent or years ago, I’ll help you process it without rushing you or telling you how to feel.
-
Life Transitions
New job, divorce, empty nest, quarter-life crisis, midlife recalibration. Transitions shake up your identity. Therapy helps you figure out who you are on the other side.
-
Relationship Challenges
Repeating patterns, communication breakdowns, resentment that’s been building. We’ll look at what’s not working and why, and give you concrete ways to change it.
-
Burnout & High-Functioning Stress
You’re productive, you’re achieving, and you’re completely running on empty. Therapy helps you stop performing and start actually living.
-
Self-Doubt & Overthinking
When your brain won’t stop second-guessing every decision you make. We’ll work on changing the script you tell yourself and building real confidence.
-
Trauma & PTSD
What happened to you matters. Whether it’s a single event or years of accumulated hurt, I use trauma-informed approaches to help you process it safely and move forward.
What I Help Teens With
-
Anxiety & Social Anxiety
The worry that won’t quit about school, friendships, the future, everything. I help teens understand their anxiety and develop real strategies to manage it.
-
Depression & Mood Changes
Withdrawal, irritability, low energy, loss of interest. We’ll figure out what’s going on and build a path forward.
-
ADHD & Executive Functioning
Difficulty focusing, time management struggles, emotional dysregulation. I use evidence-based strategies to help teens work with their brain, not against it.
-
Social Skills & Connection
As a certified UCLA PEERS provider, I help teens who struggle with making and keeping friendships, reading social cues, and feeling like they belong.
-
Self-Esteem & Identity
Who am I? Am I enough? Teens are figuring out their identity in real time. Therapy helps them build confidence from the inside out.
-
Life Transitions
New school, parents divorcing, moving, starting college. These transitions are massive for teens. Therapy gives them a place to process it.
-
Behavioral Challenges
Acting out, defiance, emotional explosions. I look at what’s driving the behavior, not just the behavior itself, and help your teen develop healthier responses.
