Frustrated. Anxious. Edgy. Tearful. Are you uncertain of who you’ve become or want to be? Longing to exit vicious circles? For comfort or certainty’s sake, you could double down on pleasing others, stay home on your screen of choice, try to read or absorb endless data before you commit, or just vow to not need anyone or be influenced by them. Immediate anxiety gets managed, but you still end up with hurt, resentment, dread, FOMO, perfectionist traps, or loneliness. Here’s something odd: to reduce fear, increase hope, accept your nature, and embrace your desires, you must let go of what looks like control and certainty.
Trying to do it alone is like trying to see your eye with no mirror: nervous, despairing guesswork based on obsolete (but familiar) routines and perceptions. When it feels like survival, you won’t let go…unless a sturdy, gentle hand is there to hold, instead of just holding onto habit.
That’s where I come in, to assist with new insights, knowledge, empathy, acceptance, and patience. You absorb and practice those and, in time, find you’ve entered a forward-moving, virtuous spiral of choices, not a closed loop of fate. If this is what you want and need, contact me today.

I listen closely, differently, and fully. Session structure & number is relaxed but secure, so I can be in-depth, active, and once-weekly minimum, but you don't feel hanging or aimless. You leave sessions with insight on how problems developed, know-how for gradually releasing and replacing them, and, overall, compassion for self and others.

I make it safe for you to see how problems come from over-pursuing certainty or trying to fill a sense of 'lack', whether in life or inside (Psychodynamic, Existential). I sometimes give experiments and structures you could try outside session, often based on Behavioral ideas. When improvements reach a critical mass and you know it, you choose to stop.
