What Brings You Here?

People come to therapy for many different reasons. Sometimes there is a clear problem—a relationship that is struggling, anxiety that feels overwhelming, depression, grief, burnout, or a major life transition. Other times, something simply feels off: you may feel stuck, disconnected from yourself, uncertain about what you want, or caught in patterns you understand intellectually but can’t seem to change.

I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, life transitions, questions of identity and purpose, self-esteem, perfectionism, work and career concerns, grief and loss, family dynamics, and the effects of difficult or traumatic experiences. I also work with people who are functioning well on the outside but sense there is something deeper asking for attention.

You don’t need to have a diagnosis—or even know exactly what’s wrong—to begin therapy.

Sometimes what brings you here is a particular problem. Sometimes it is a persistent feeling that there must be more to life than this. And sometimes you simply want a space to slow down and better understand yourself.

Whatever brings you here, therapy can offer an opportunity to explore not only what you want to change, but what your experiences may be asking you to understand.

 

Why Therapy?

Therapy is not simply about fixing what is wrong with you. From a depth psychological perspective, it is an opportunity to understand what is happening beneath the surface of your life.

We all carry patterns, assumptions, fears, desires, and ways of relating that have developed over time—often outside our conscious awareness. Some of these patterns once served an important purpose, but may no longer fit who we are or the life we are trying to create.

Depth-oriented therapy invites us to become curious about these deeper layers. Rather than focusing only on symptoms, we explore the meaning behind them: What is this experience trying to tell me? What keeps repeating? What parts of myself have I pushed aside? What wants to emerge?

The goal isn’t to become a different person. It is to develop a deeper relationship with yourself—with greater awareness, freedom, and choice.

 

Therapy can become a place to slow down, listen inwardly, and make sense of the experiences that shape you. In doing so, we can begin to move beyond simply managing life toward living with greater authenticity, purpose, and wholeness.

 

The Process

 
 
 

It’s more Than An investment, It’s your relationship with yourself.

 
 
 

It can be easy to put your own needs aside while focusing on work, family, relationships, and the demands of everyday life. But creating meaningful change often requires making space to understand yourself more deeply. By the same token, it needs to be as convenient as possible.

Online therapy offers an opportunity to meet that need, providing easy access to care through your computer or mobile phone (shout out to my dashboard counseling clients!).

My practice is private pay, which means I do not bill insurance directly. Working outside of the insurance system allows our work to remain centered on you—your experiences, your goals, rather than fitting therapy into an insurance-defined diagnosis or treatment plan.

For those with out-of-network benefits, your insurance company often reimburse up to 70 or 80% of your investment in therapy. I can provide a superbill for you to submit directly to your insurer.
