Hello. My name is Adam and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I have worked with adolescents, young adults, adults, families, and athletes on a variety of clinical issues such as anxiety, depression, life transitions, conflict resolution, relationships, sports counseling, and trauma. I believe we are all just one small adjustment away from the life we want. With the use of psychotherapy, we can modify behaviors, our mindset, and implement healthy habits to find balance while continuing to grow. No time like the present, so let's get started!

Therapist

I help ambitious adults who feel plateaued or stuck in their work, relationships, healing or personal growth. On the surface life may look solid, yet anxiety lingers, relationships feel strained, or old patterns keep showing up when they try to move forward in their work, relationships, or personal growth. You understand yourself intellectually, but the deeper patterns still feel outside your control. Often the coping strategies that once propelled you forward are now the very things holding you back. You may even know exactly what needs to change, yet still find yourself repeating the same reactions when pressure rises.
