No matter how chaotic your life is right now, there's a way through it. There's also the potential to become
more wise, resilient, and adaptive.
Alas! You have been fruitlessly searching this directory, waiting, hoping, pleading to find a psychologist who has all the answers to your existential distress. Who am I? What am I supposed to do with my life? What does it even matter, anyways? You may have answers from religion, philosophy, or society, but that doesn’t always stop you from feeling stuck. If only you could find someone, somewhere, who did know. Who was trained to know. Who, with near omniscient precision, could tell you exactly what you need to hear to move forward…
Well I don’t think I can do that. I’m sorry. That’s just not in the cards. But now that we’ve accepted that no one can meet that standard, here’s what I DO think. I think you’re a human, and humans are unbelievably resilient. I also think that humans (you included) have an innate capacity for wisdom, healing, and transformation.
I’m trained in evidence-based therapies that can help you work through your uncertainty without flinching. While I may not know the secret meaning of your life, I can offer a grounded space to move through the chaos with you, reconnect with what matters, and find a little more clarity on the other side. Give me a call and you can see if we’re a good fit.
