“Despite my accomplishments, I constantly feel like I’m not Good Enough.”

“I struggle to find balance and peace in my life.”

“My relationships feel forced & empty.”

Sound familiar?

I see you.

Ever felt like you're living a paradox? To the casual observer, your life seems picture-perfect—career milestones, personal achievements, the works. Yet internally, there's a persistent feeling that something's... off.

Many of my clients describe this as being stuck on a "hamster wheel"—constantly running, but never truly progressing. Everything looks perfect from the outside, but inside, there's an exhausting need to adjust, to overcorrect. Sound familiar?

You've mastered the art of juggling—responsibilities, deadlines, expectations—and from the outside, it looks effortless. But internally? It's draining. No wonder peace and balance feel just out of reach. It's like you've perfected spinning plates but never get to enjoy the meal.

Here's the truth: these feelings don't negate your achievements. They're simply a signal that you're ready for a deeper level of fulfillment. Your inner self is nudging you to look beyond conventional metrics of success and define what truly matters to you.

This is where our work together becomes transformative. Think of our sessions as a personal growth laboratory—a space to experiment, explore, and fine-tune until your life resonates with your authentic self.

Imagine:

  • Discovering what "enough" really means for you

  • Replacing constant juggling with inner balance

  • Bridging the gap between success and satisfaction

We'll tackle these big questions using a blend of insight, practical strategies, and mind-body techniques. And yes, we'll sprinkle in some humor—because there's a certain absurdity in feeling lost while following a meticulously crafted life plan.

So, here's the proposition: Let's align your external success with internal peace. We'll work towards a life where your confidence stems from living your values, not just from your accomplishments. Where you wake up feeling genuinely at home in your life, not just residing in an impressive one.

I'm here to guide you, to listen without judgment, and to help you turn "Is this all there is?" into "This is exactly where I want to be."

Let's begin.

  • I utilize a diverse range of approaches to tailor the treatment to your unique needs and goals. Here’s a brief overview of the key methods I incorporate:


    Gestalt Therapy

    Gestalt therapy is a powerful, experiential approach that views you as a whole person, not just a collection of problems or symptoms.

    Focuses on increasing awareness and understanding of the present moment. With greater awareness, you will have a greater choice in how to respond and not just react. You can move away from unconscious behaviors that keep you stuck, and recognize opportunities that you previously overlooked.

    Helps you become more attuned to your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, promoting authentic self-expression and personal growth.

    Encourages a holistic view of self, considering how your relationships and environment impact your experience.

    Somatic Therapy

    Integrates body awareness into the therapeutic process.

    Addresses the connection between mind and body to release stored trauma and emotional tension, fostering holistic healing.

    Utilizes body-based techniques to enhance emotional regulation and resilience.

    Positive Psychology

    Emphasizes strengths, resilience, and positive emotions.

    Encourages the development of a fulfilling and meaningful life by focusing on what is going well and cultivating a positive mindset.

    Supports building a life with more joy, engagement, and purpose.

    Mindfulness

    Involves practices that enhance present-moment awareness and acceptance.

    Helps reduce stress, increase emotional regulation, and improve overall mental clarity.

    Cultivates a non-judgmental attitude towards your thoughts and emotions.

    Internal Family Systems (IFS)

    Explores and harmonizes the different parts or "subpersonalities" within you.

    Aims to heal wounded parts and restore balance, fostering inner harmony and self-leadership.

    Promotes a compassionate and curious relationship with all parts of yourself.

    Each of these approaches offers unique benefits and can be combined to create a personalized therapeutic experience. My goal is to support you in achieving emotional well-being, resilience, and a deeper understanding of yourself. Together, we will find the right approach to help you thrive.
