Exploring Who You Are
Questions about identity often surface during life transitions, personal growth, or when old narratives no longer fit. You may feel torn between expectations, unsure of who you are, or questioning what truly matters to you. Therapy offers a space to explore these questions with curiosity and self-compassion, helping you build a sense of identity that feels authentic and aligned with your values.
When Your Sense of Self Feels Unclear
Your identity shapes how you move through the world, but at times, it can feel unsettled—like you’re out of sync with yourself or uncertain about the path ahead. This might show up in different ways:
Feeling Disconnected from Yourself – A sense that something no longer fits, but you’re not sure what’s changed.
Shifting Roles & Life Transitions – Career changes, relationship shifts, or personal growth making you feel like you’re redefining who you are.
Internal Conflict About Expectations – Feeling pulled between who you are and who you think you “should” be.
Navigating Cultural or Family Pressures – Balancing personal growth with expectations around race, gender, sexuality, religion, or societal roles.
Loss of Meaning & Direction – Knowing what you don’t want, but feeling uncertain about what comes next.
Struggling to Feel Like You Belong – In your relationships, career, or even within yourself.
Identity isn’t something we simply "find"—it’s something we continuously shape and refine. Therapy provides a space to explore these shifts with curiosity and intention, helping you move toward a sense of self that feels more aligned and grounded.
A Thoughtful, Individualized Approach
Identity work isn’t about rushing to find answers—it’s about creating space to explore who you are, what you value, and how to move forward in a way that feels true to you. Therapy provides a supportive environment to navigate these questions with curiosity and self-compassion.
Together, we can work on:
Clarifying Your Values – Defining what truly matters to you, beyond outside expectations.
Integrating Past & Present – Understanding how past experiences shape you while creating space for growth.
Letting Go of Limiting Beliefs – Challenging old narratives that no longer reflect who you are.
Navigating Change with Confidence – Building clarity and trust in who you are becoming.
Exploring the Layers of Identity – Making sense of the complexities of race, gender, sexuality, faith, and personal history.
Cultivating a Sense of Belonging – Strengthening your connection to yourself and others.
I take a personalized approach, drawing from ACT, CBT, and Compassion-Focused Therapy to help you gain clarity, build confidence, and step into a more grounded and authentic sense of self.
