A variety of psychological challenges, emotional ailments, and problems in living bring people to therapy, including:
  • navigation of life transitions,
  • relationship issues,
  • anxiety &/or depression, 
  • identity development, life direction and purpose,
  • choice and decision-making,
  • meaning and spiritual life,
  • self-confidence/assertion and self-advocacy,
  • stress management,
  • addictions/self-defeating behavior/compulsions,
  • loss and grief,
  • and what Rollo May calls “the struggle to be”.  ​
Therapy is a powerful method of cultivating mindful awareness and providing a protected, nurturing space to work through our personal issues. The experience of therapy fosters thriving rather than merely surviving, and helps open a greater capacity to choose our life rather than be dictated by our circumstances.   

Rather than only manage symptoms or modify behaviors, let this counseling approach unfold a deep and honest understanding of your experiences, the truer nature of who you are, what you're up to, and who you could become. 
What you can expect:
  • A powerful therapeutic relationship that is safe, kind, collaborative, and accepting
  • A reliable, supportive place for you to 'check in', recenter yourself, identify difficulties and areas of challenge, and develop resilience to meet them
  • An ongoing exploration of your personal experience and what it means to you
  • ​A means to skillfully practice productive introspection and sustained self-inquiry 
  • A process of replacing conditioning and habitual patterns with confident, creative, and active responses to life situations
