Counseling Specialties

People seek counseling for many different reasons. I provide therapy for adults, couples, children, and families navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, parenting stress, grief, life transitions, and emotional overwhelm. My approach is relational, thoughtful, and tailored to each person’s needs. If you do not see your exact concern here, email me and we can talk about whether my approach may be a good fit. Please explore my articles in Going Deeper and listen to podcasts on my Resources page to get a better sense of how I work.

Relationships & Family

Relationships can be one of the greatest sources of meaning in life and also one of the greatest sources of pain. I work with couples and families who feel stuck in repeating patterns, communication struggles, disconnection, or ongoing conflict. I also support parents who want help understanding their children, responding more effectively, and creating healthier family dynamics.

Brain Dysfunction

Some people come to therapy feeling frustrated by difficulty focusing, following through, managing impulses, or staying emotionally regulated under stress. These struggles can affect work, school, relationships, and self-esteem. Therapy can help build awareness, reduce shame, and support more effective ways of coping and functioning.

Anxiety, Depression, and Stress

I work with clients who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, low mood, loneliness, insecurity, or chronic stress. Sometimes these experiences show up as overthinking, self-doubt, irritability, shutdown, or feeling disconnected from yourself and others. Therapy can help you better understand what is happening internally, shift painful patterns, and move toward greater steadiness and self-trust.

Depression
Loneliness
Insecurity

Trauma, PTSD & Complex PTSD

Trauma can affect how you feel in your body, how you relate to others, and how safe the world seems. I work with clients healing from PTSD, complex trauma, abuse, neglect, and other overwhelming experiences. Therapy can support recovery by helping you process what has happened, make sense of symptoms, and build a greater sense of safety, connection, and regulation.
