Many people come to therapy feeling disconnected from themselves, caught in patterns they can’t fully explain. You may appear outwardly successful, yet feel alienated, frustrated, or disoriented in ways that resist easy solutions. Therapy offers a space to speak freely, even when what needs to be said isn’t yet fully known. While the immediate aim is relief from painful symptoms, the work also makes room to explore the deeper conflicts underlying those struggles. Through this process, meanings can shift, opening new possibilities in how you relate to yourself, others, and what you want.
I work with people navigating anxiety, depression, relationship and family conflict, life transitions, grief and loss, and the lingering effects of childhood experiences, including abuse and neglect. I have a particular interest in working with those who feel uncertain about direction or desire.
