Practice information:

I work with adults who may seem fine on the outside, but are struggling in some way on the inside.

Your struggles may be with stress or anxiety, low mood or motivation, or lack of satisfaction and interest in what you need to do. Your difficulties may be specific to school or work or they may be more general and pervasive. Whatever it is, you feel like you’re surviving, not thriving.

My approach is highly relational, collaborative, and practical. From a foundation of comfort and ease with each other, we can take a deep dive into your experience: your thoughts and feelings and how you make sense of the world. Being so close to the action, it can be hard to see what’s going on. That’s where I come in, to help us find the patterns, connections, and unspoken or conflicting beliefs that bring difficulty to your life. With a sense of what’s happening inside, we can then start exploring and trying out ways to change, manage, or make peace with it.

In conversations that can feel hard, bleak, or weighty, I’ll aim to be a source of compassion, hope, and fun: recognizing and affirming your progress, re-orienting us to your strengths and values, and incorporating creativity.

Whether you come for a few sessions to focus on what’s toughest, or stay longer to do deeper work, your goals will be our north star. As with any journey, as we go along, we’ll regularly pause, take stock of how it’s going, and make adjustments as needed.
