I work with relationship issues, grief/loss, anxiety, trauma, self-esteem and depression.
I specialize in helping adults during major life transitions. These are times when significant internal or external changes create disorientation and distress, when ‘status quo’ is no longer an option. Examples including relationship changes, loss of a loved one, major health changes, and loss of employment. These periods are often accompanied by existential questions and the need to forge a new identity.
“it is not we who… ask about the meaning of life — it is life that asks the questions, directs questions at us… We are the ones who must answer” — Viktor Frankl
For all of us humans, life can be frustrating, lonely, disappointing and confusing. Sometimes feelings of distress reach an urgent pitch and we find ourselves feeling deeply dissatisfied or stuck. This may lead to questions like:
Who am I, really? Is this what life is supposed to be like? Am I doing something wrong?
There are no magic answers to these questions. There is, however, an opportunity to pause, turn towards the questions, and see what they illuminate.
Symptoms like anxiety, depression, and relationship conflict are informing you that some part of your life needs attention. All parts of change can be difficult . It is often impractical or needlessly difficult to start this process on your own. A trained therapist can help create safety for you to take stock, identify blind spots, and start creating meaningful changes in your life.
