remote across CA & NY
It might feel like you’re moving through life on autopilot — doing all the things you’re supposed to, but feeling detached or uninspired. Or perhaps you’re going through a low season of life, where sadness is ever-present. Nothing is particularly exciting. The days blur together, and even the things that used to excite you feel flat or out of reach. Maybe you sense there’s more you want from life, but you’re not sure what that is, how to figure it out, or how to get there.
When you’ve lost touch with your sense of direction, it’s easy to feel stuck — disconnected from purpose, values, and genuine fulfillment. You’re not stuck here; with the right space and practices, joy and fulfillment are not impossible.

our process
how we’ll address feeling down or stuck in therapy
Rewire unhelpful and heavy thoughts.
When feeling down or stuck, certain thoughts can make emotions feel even heavier. We’ll identify those mental patterns and you’ll learn how to reframe inner narratives to ones that feel authentic, neutral, and more balanced.
1Shift your relationship to your emotions.
Rather than trying to get rid of painful thoughts or feelings, we’ll focus on helping you create some space from them. This can make difficult feelings feel less overwhelming and give you more freedom to move forward, even when in pain or discomfort.
2Embody acceptance, compassion and support.
You will learn the ins and outs of mindfulness and self-compassion practices, which teach us how to embody concepts such as acceptance, flexibility, and inner kindness.
3Clarify and connect with your values.
We’ll work together to identify the values that are personally meaningful for you, as values create fulfillment and a deeper connection to life. We’ll also create goals and action steps to align with your values and you’ll learn how to connect to values even when feeling down, stuck or stressed.

FAQ

We cannot get rid of emotions, even the most difficult ones like sadness. But we can learn to manage difficult emotions in a different way so that they don’t completely overwhelm and take over. Instead of battling sadness or tough emotions, to “get rid” of ever feeling them, we can listen to the wisdom of what emotions are trying to tell us, and then use healthy coping strategies to get back on track.

Therapy is the perfect starting point for addressing sadness, hopelessness and feeling lost. We begin with introspection and exploring, with compassion and curiosity, what goes on in your inner world and how your trauma, past, and present are impacting your mood and energy. This insight is invaluable for healing and moving forward. But therapy alone isn’t enough. The real magic in between sessions when you apply skills and practices (that you learn in session!) to daily life. I have all the tools to help you succeed in this.

Life is, unfortunately, full of distress. The difficult experiences, phases, emotions and thoughts are all built into being human and it can be downright painful at times. But therapy can change how you hold and react to this pain, so that moments feel less intense. You can both make space for your pain and hold it tenderly, while also cultivating joy and purpose.
