Common themes include transforming beliefs and behaviors that are no longer helpful; processing difficult emotions and experiences; and growing a more supportive relationship with self.

Young adulthood is an exciting time of growth and change. It can also be a time of stress and uncertainty as you navigate new directions in your life. During this time, we often feel challenged by new phases in our work, school, and relationships. You are moving toward independence and forming your identity while dealing with questions about your future. You may be struggling with your sense of meaning and purpose, or afraid to disappoint your family. Old coping skills aren't as effective anymore, or you may be concerned about your ability to cope in healthy ways. Having a safe space to work through these issues is so important!

You’re searching for meaning or purpose in life. Perhaps you want to trust your intuition more. You feel at a crossroads. You’ve been successful in your work but feel a bit unsatisfied. You’re stable but lacking joie de vivre. You’re a creative, but not feeling all that creative right now. You sense this isn't something your sharp intellect or talk therapy can help you with. You feel your body holds wisdom for you, but you don’t know how to access it. I put decades of experience in psychotherapy and depth, creative, and contemplative processes in service of guiding and witnessing your unfolding into a more authentic, at-peace you.

Life sometimes (or often!) presents us with challenges, obstacles and opportunities. These can lead to suffering, self-doubt, self-criticism, or feeling lost and unfulfilled. There are times when we identify something in our lives that we want to change (or come to accept) - yet we find ourselves stuck and unable to shift out of our patterns. I am here to help you get "un-stuck" and to create a more meaningful and serene life. Psychotherapy can catalyze a process of overcoming barriers that stand in your way through attunement, curiosity, and compassion.
