Individual Counseling for Adults and Couples

Personalized support for your mental and emotional wellbeing

I offer one-on-one and couples counseling for adults working through a wide range of emotional and psychological challenges — anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, or the sense of being stuck. My goal is to walk alongside you as you navigate what’s in front of you, with tools for growth, resilience, and lasting change.

What that looks like:

  • A safe, confidential space for self-exploration
  • Evidence-based approaches tailored to you
  • Compassionate support from an experienced clinician

Depression, Grief, Trauma, and Life Transitions

Support through life’s most difficult moments

I help adults navigate the emotional weight of depression, grief, relationship struggles, and major life change. Whether you’re facing the loss of someone you love, moving through a divorce, or feeling overwhelmed by conflict with a partner, family, or children — you are not alone in it.

What that looks like:

  • Evidence-based information and resources
  • Practical tools for coping and healing
  • Experienced, compassionate therapeutic guidance

How I Work

These are the approaches I use most in my practice.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

DBT helps you manage intense emotions, improve relationships, and build effective coping skills. I use it to support people facing anxiety, depression, and emotional overwhelm, with practical tools for a more balanced life.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

ACT helps you accept difficult thoughts and feelings rather than fight them, commit to what you value, and take consistent action toward a more meaningful life.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT helps you recognize and challenge negative thought patterns tied to loss — guilt, shame, self-blame. Reframing those patterns reduces distress and builds healthier ways to cope and move forward.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)

EMDR is an evidence-based therapy for trauma and distressing memories. Using guided bilateral stimulation, it helps the brain reprocess experiences that feel stuck, so they carry less emotional charge over time. I use it with adults working through trauma, grief, and painful life events.
