As it is with all of nature, it is human nature to grow - to adapt, let go of what is no longer vital, and make space for what is ready to come alive. Yet this kind of change is rarely simple. Maybe you’re noticing that patterns which once helped you survive now feel limiting. You might be questioning who you are, or holding yourself to lingering expectations that don’t seem to fit. Perhaps a recent loss is shifting life in ways you didn’t expect. You’re in transition, yet also stuck - that sense of inner direction seems far away.
Finding your way back to yourself can be a deeply meaningful process. In sessions I encourage tender curiosity, openness to what is yet unknown, and the willingness to stay present with what emerges, even when it feels difficult or unfamiliar. My humanistic-existential orientation is informed by Gestalt and mindfulness, and my style is gentle but honest.
Therapy is a relationship at heart - one shaped by mutual commitment to the ongoing process of becoming. I offer a grounded space for creative and sensitive adults navigating identity and life transitions, including related anxiety, depression, and grief, as well as questions of purpose, meaning, and self-expression. I look forward to meeting you.
