You're feeling overwhelmed and underfulfilled; an expert at putting others first but you can't quite return the favor to yourself. People-pleaser, perfectionist, late-bloomer, "imposter" — you're burned out, grieving the future you imagined, and in need of some levity, release, and connection. I work well with creative and high-achieving adults feeling dissatisfied, disconnected, and disillusioned with the struggles of modern times, which include isolation and loneliness, grief, loss of hope, loss of purpose, existential dread, imposter syndrome, creative blocks, compassion fatigue, late-blooming, or mid-life exploration.
In life we go through seasons. Some seasons have us struggling to get through the day while others push us to answer deeper calls from within. Whatever season you're in now, I'll meet you there with compassion, curiosity, and the confidence that you already hold everything you need to live the life you want, you just need help putting the pieces together.
I know that asking for help and opening up to someone new can feel vulnerable and intimidating. Using empathy, curiosity, and tender humor, I work in partnership with you to engage in the process of self-compassion & self-discovery.

Therapy may not always feel blissful. Like many of life's riches, confrontation with discomfort ought to be expected. As Joseph Campbell said: "It is by going down into the abyss that we recover the treasures of life. Where you stumble, there lies your treasure." Within the therapeutic relationship, I contain, challenge, champion, and collaborate with you through your journey into the abyss.
