Life isn't linear - it involves twists, turns, ups, and downs. In fact, we might feel like we're on a roller coaster at times! We might feel "stuck" on the ride and aren't quite sure how to navigate getting off of it. Or we may find our “downs” might make us feel anxious, depressed, overwhelmed, or stuck. The "ups" might be exciting, but may also come with their own sets of stressors. We might want to get off the ride or take a gentler one, but not know how. And that's okay! Therapy can help. And I am here to support you along the way.

Choosing to seek therapy is a decision that may come with anxiety and a greater sense of vulnerability, but it can ultimately lead to a significant decrease in distress as you experience increased awareness and strengthened coping abilities, which facilitate improvement in multiple areas of life and a heightened sense of overall contentment. My aim is to provide you with a comfortable, nonjudgmental atmosphere where you will be respected and welcomed with compassion and understanding; I believe these underpinnings are fundamental to a trusting, meaningful therapeutic relationship.

You’re in the middle of your life (30’s, 40’s, or 50’s) and have begun to question if this is it…this trajectory you’re on. You feel any combination of anxious, empty, depressed, lost, exhausted, guilty, or trapped. People depend on you such as your partner, kids, aging parents, and work. Had you intended this to be your life? Did you know it was going to feel this way? It's not necessarily that you don't value these things, but they don't ignite the magic of possibility or creativity anymore. You wonder if there is more to life than this, and if there's a way to discover or return to that source of electricity.

Living in a world that doesn’t always align with your values can lead to anger, frustration, and grief. It’s exhausting to constantly navigate spaces that don’t reflect who you are or force yourself to fit expectations that don’t serve you. You don’t need to change yourself to fit a “standard” way of thinking, feeling, or being. Therapy is about finding what’s true for YOU—unlearning patterns of survival, adaptation, and self-protection that no longer serve you and learning how to live in a way that feels more authentic and aligned. Therapy with me isn't about "fixing you"—it’s about making space for you.
