Existential • Psychodynamic • Jungian-Informed Psychotherapy
Understanding Yourself. Exploring What Matters.
I believe that each person must ultimately find their own way through life's struggles, uncertainties, and possibilities. While no therapist can carry the burdens of another person's existence, we do not have to navigate those experiences entirely alone.
My role is to offer a thoughtful, supportive, and authentic presence as we explore the experiences, relationships, and unconscious patterns that shape your inner world. Drawing from existential, psychodynamic, and Jungian perspectives, I approach therapy as an opportunity to examine not only the difficulties you are experiencing, but also the deeper questions of identity, meaning, and authenticity that may lie beneath them.
At the heart of my work is a respect for the ongoing process of individuation—the gradual discovery and integration of the many dimensions of who we are. Rather than directing you toward a predetermined version of yourself, I hope to create a therapeutic relationship in which greater self-understanding, psychological integration, and new possibilities for living can emerge.
What Working Together Looks Like
Psychotherapy begins with a conversation about what brings you here, but our work need not be limited to the concerns that first prompted you to seek help. As we develop a therapeutic relationship, we may explore your personal history, important relationships, recurring emotional patterns, dreams, and the questions or conflicts that arise in your everyday life.
I approach these conversations with curiosity rather than predetermined answers. Sometimes our work may involve recognizing connections that have previously gone unnoticed; at other times, it may mean sitting with uncertainty, confronting difficult truths, or considering possibilities that have not yet taken shape.
There is no single path that psychotherapy must follow. My hope is that our work together offers a space where you can speak openly, encounter yourself more fully, and develop a deeper understanding of how you want to live.
Areas We Might Explore Together
Changes in mood, energy, motivation, and emotional stability can significantly affect everyday functioning and relationships. Psychiatric care can help clarify symptoms, explore appropriate medication options, and develop an individualized treatment plan that supports greater stability and long-term well-being.
Mood & Bipolar Disorders
Persistent worry, panic, and other anxiety-related symptoms can interfere with relationships, responsibilities, and quality of life. Through careful evaluation and collaborative medication management, we can explore treatment options that address your concerns while considering your individual needs and preferences.
Anxiety Disorders
Difficulties with attention, organization, impulsivity, and executive functioning can create challenges in daily life. Psychiatric evaluation can help clarify these concerns and guide conversations about medication options, treatment goals, and ongoing management.
