Do you feel stuck, unmotivated, anxious, or depressed? My training and experience have helped me understand these concerns as invitations to discovering the meaning, purpose, and transformation of the problem if we are willing to engage with it. My practice is focused on understanding: the importance of "standing" under the weight of the problem (tension or trauma), to determine what it means. I have undergone many years of my own therapy with a Jungian Analyst before your first meeting with me; knowing this may provide some confidence about my lived experience and commitment to helping you from a depth perspective.

Calling all women who feel dismissed, overlooked, or rejected by your family. Every time you talk with them you end up feeling worse. The loneliness is real. You’re surrounded by them, but they don’t see the real you. You’ve set up your life based on how they thought you should be, but even that’s not enough to make them happy. You’ve been trying to heal. Reading self help books. Doom scrolling social media trying to find that one thing that makes it all make sense. However, your life still isn’t what you thought it would be and you’re ready for things to change. You need someone on your side who can guide you through the process.

The idea of perfection put forth on social media has caused many people to face unique challenges daily. Masking one's flaws while forming online friendships have led to low self-esteem and in turn, isolation and withdrawal from face-to-face social interactions. The pressure of perfection often leads to increased anxiety, social anxiety, depression, and lack of motivation to attend school. Parents often report concerns with their child's poor academic performance and their struggle to engage in day-to-day life; clinging to video games and online interactions. These behaviors impact family and can leave you feeling overwhelmed.
