Many people come to therapy unsure exactly what is “wrong,” but with the clear feeling that something isn’t quite right. You may be questioning your direction, struggling with important decisions, or wondering who you are beneath the roles and identity you’ve taken on. This often arises during periods of transition—whether you’re a young adult finding your path or at a point in life where you’re re-evaluating your identity, relationships, or direction. Even when life looks fine on the outside, it can feel confusing or unfulfilling. I work with individuals who want to better understand themselves and create a more intentional life.
Our work explores what matters to you, how your past has shaped you and patterns that may hold you back. I employ a warm, curious, honest and genuine person-centered approach. I am trauma-informed and integrate existential exploration with practical tools to build self-esteem, process past experiences, and create greater clarity, agency, and direction.
Starting therapy can feel like a big step, especially if you’re not exactly sure what you’re looking for yet. If you’re feeling stuck, uncertain, anxious, depressed or ready for change, I invite you to reach out. I offer a free initial consultation so we can see if working together feels like a good fit.
