Life can make us feel lost or unsettled, uncertain in our relationships, or unfulfilled with who we are. We may lose ourselves and wonder how to find ourselves again. Therapy can be used in many ways – to explore, to question, to heal, and to grow. It can create space for all facets of life to be experienced openly. In my approach to therapy, the relationship we build together is key to shifting your understanding of yourself and others, allowing room for movement in your life. I will provide a gentle, supportive space that encourages curiosity about your inner life and a trusting, meaningful connection. I will work with you to face challenges, explore transitions, and develop self-compassion while considering the emergence of repetitive patterns. Together, we will unravel life’s complications and celebrate its joys. I provide depth-oriented therapy with adults using a psychodynamic-relational approach that draws on my training in existential philosophy, humanistic, and feminist therapies. I have particular interest and experience exploring issues of identity and life stage concerns, relational dissatisfaction, parenting challenges, and women’s issues.
