Individual Therapy for Adults

Gaining Meaning and Purpose

I often work with individuals who come to therapy feeling lonely, adrift, and uncertain. Many of us go about our day-to-day lives, tending to our responsibilities, striving to make ends meet, while attempting to keep up with the changes.  In our fast-paced, technological world, it is easy to lose sight of what truly matters while dealing with constant change. Therapy can be a tool for providing a space to step back and focus on what is most important to you. 

Psychodynamic therapy is especially helpful for those who seek to live in alignment with their values to find deeper purpose and peace of mind. 

When working with patients, I adopt a curious mind. I don’t assume to know who you are, but instead work alongside you to discover how you want to grow. I adopt a non-judgmental, open style that encourages honesty, connection, and even laughter.

Many patients of mine have lacked the consistent support needed to develop self-esteem and self-confidence. With therapy, individuals can feel more secure in themselves, which strengthens their ability to be clear and assertive in their relationships. 

In a society that prizes secularism and individualism, it can be easy to feel lost. As human beings, we benefit from rituals, engaging in activities that contribute to bonding, building our characters, and grappling with matters that challenge us such as morality. 

As a therapist, I believe that engaging with these larger dimensions of life is essential to true fulfillment. My work is to support patients as they explore new terrain, helping them discover connections and cultivate relationships with others that enrich the lives they want to create.
​

It is rarely my role to offer direct advice. Instead, I believe my role is to ask questions, listen deeply, and create space for clarity through the fog. Through this process, patients often find their way to become more conscious and ultimately, free.
