Therapy for individual adults offers a different kind of support. It’s not about quick fixes or surface-level advice—it’s about slowing down, turning inward, and building a deeper relationship with yourself. It’s about having a safe and grounded space where all parts of you are welcome: the parts that feel anxious, ashamed, angry, exhausted, or unsure. Together, we explore not just what’s happening on the surface, but what’s happening underneath.
Why Adults Seek Therapy
Here are some of the common concerns I help adult clients work through in therapy:
- Persistent anxiety or chronic stress that’s impacting daily life
- Depression, emotional numbness, or lack of motivation
- Relationship challenges—whether romantic, familial, or friendships
- Patterns of self-criticism, shame, or low self-worth
- Grief and loss, including complex or unresolved grief
- Perfectionism, burnout, or fear of failure
- Feeling disconnected from purpose, identity, or direction
- Unresolved trauma or painful childhood experiences
Some clients come to therapy during periods of transition—becoming a parent, leaving a marriage, entering a new phase of adulthood. Others come because they’ve been struggling silently for years and are ready to begin healing. Whatever brings you here, therapy can be a place to begin again.
What You Might Be Struggling With
- You’re highly capable on the outside, but inside you feel anxious, depleted, or like an imposter
- You find it hard to set boundaries or express your needs without guilt
- You tend to put others first and feel resentful or invisible as a result
- You’re caught in cycles of people-pleasing, overthinking, or perfectionism
- You’ve experienced emotional neglect, criticism, or trauma in your family of origin
- You carry deep grief, anger, or sadness that doesn’t seem to go away
- You want to be more connected to yourself—but you don’t know how to start
Even if you’re not sure what exactly is “wrong,” therapy can help you name and explore what’s been buried. There is no problem too small or too vague to bring into therapy. If it matters to you, it matters.
My Approach to Working with Adults
Together, we’ll explore how your current struggles may be connected to earlier experiences, relational dynamics, or internalized beliefs. I pay close attention to how you talk about yourself, how you make meaning of your experiences, and how you relate to others—including me, in the therapy room. These patterns offer rich material to understand where you’ve been, what shaped you, and how you want to move forward.
My style is warm, thoughtful, and deeply attuned. I believe in holding space for your complexity without judgment. I will be curious, present, and honest—and I invite you to be the same.
How Therapy Can Support You
Here are some of the ways therapy can support your growth:
- Understanding and shifting long-standing emotional and relational patterns
- Learning to regulate your nervous system and respond to stress more effectively
- Building compassion for the parts of you that carry shame or fear
- Developing boundaries that protect your energy and integrity
- Grieving losses and honoring your emotional truths
- Becoming more connected to your desires, values, and purpose
- Making room for joy, rest, and creative expression—not just survival
This work doesn’t happen overnight, but it is transformative. Many clients find that therapy not only relieves symptoms but also opens up entirely new ways of being—with themselves, in relationships, and in the world.
Who I Work With
I also have experience supporting:
- Adults navigating cultural identity, intergenerational trauma, and bicultural stress
- Survivors of emotional abuse, neglect, or relational trauma
- Professionals facing burnout, imposter syndrome, or career dissatisfaction
- Women exploring issues of self-worth, boundaries, and empowerment
- Adult children of emotionally immature or narcissistic parents
Whether you’re working through acute distress or doing the deeper work of personal growth, therapy offers a place to pause, reflect, and recalibrate.
