What's My Approach to Therapy?

I work with adults who feel stuck despite wanting something different. I believe that when we feel conflict, discomfort, or that something feels “off,” it is often a sign that growth is underway. Rather than trying to push these feelings away, I help you explore them, understand their meaning, and work with them as a guide for conscious choice.

My approach is grounded in existential and humanistic principles. Together, we co-create a space where you can take ownership of your inner experience. We gently turn toward the parts of yourself you may have been avoiding, face fears with care, and bring awareness to blind spots and inner contradictions. As we explore the patterns that have become automatic, we seek to understand the forces shaping them, fostering awareness, courage, and a deeper sense of connection to yourself, and to others.

My Practice & Services

Many people come to therapy when what once worked no longer does. Maybe a big change, loss, illness, or new role has turned your world upside down. Perhaps it's a quieter struggle, doubting yourself, feeling unfulfilled, or wondering if life could hold more meaning. I am skilled at working within the tensions of uncertainty, existential anxiety, and inner conflict, creating a space where these struggles can be explored thoughtfully.

I am deeply engaged in the ongoing exploration of what it means to be human, drawn to the patterns, questions, and inner currents that shape our lives. Therapy with me may be a good fit if you are curious, reflective, and committed to understanding yourself, those who are willing to sit with life's big, open-ended questions.
