Living a more vital life is possible.
Perhaps you’ve found yourself overwhelmed by symptoms that are disrupting your ability to live life fully. These symptoms can include: anxiety, depression, burnout, repeated relationship patterns, low self esteem, suicidal ideation, disordered eating, substance use, etc.
Together, we will listen for the ways these symptoms have been intelligent defenses and adaptations to experiences of danger and neglect. As we gain appreciation for these symptom’s aim and their origins, we can work to restore your natural capacity to think, heal, and grow.
I feel honored to make lasting therapeutic relationships with people in which they can truly come alive. I practice relational psychoanalytic psychotherapy, where people heal from, and through, relationships. I know firsthand that it is possible to give voice to what has felt unspeakable and to live a life that feels meaningful.
Hi, I’m Maranda.
