"Who am I?"

It's a question that can pop up at any stage of life. Maybe you've checked off all the boxes (career, relationships, stability) and still feel like something's missing. Maybe you're in a season of transition, like a breakup, a move, or becoming a parent, and suddenly the old labels don't seem to fit anymore. Or maybe you've spent so much of your life being what others needed you to be that you're not sure what you actually want or value.

This feeling is more common than you might think. Many people go through long stretches where their identity feels fuzzy, borrowed, or even fake. You might feel disconnected from your emotions, unsure of your opinions, or like you're playing a role instead of being genuinely you.

The search for identity isn't about being lost in a dramatic sense. Sometimes it's more subtle. It's realizing your hobbies don't actually bring you joy anymore. It's noticing you people-please to avoid conflict, even when it drains you. It's feeling stuck between the person you used to be and the person you're still becoming.

Therapy offers something special, maybe even rare: a space that's just for you, free from judgment and expectation.

It's a place where you can be honest about the confusion without having to have it all figured out. You don't need answers, you just need to show up and be willing to be curious. 

Together, we can gently explore the layers. We might look at the stories you've been telling yourself about who you are, and ask whether those stories are yours or someone else's. We can examine the values you live by, the patterns that keep you stuck, and the parts of yourself you might have hidden away over the years.

This process isn't about "finding yourself" like you've misplaced something. It's more like coming home to yourself. It's reconnecting with what truly matters to you, unrelated to what you "should" want. It's about giving yourself permission to change, to grow, and to become more fully who you already are.

Self understanding is a process, not a destination. Some days it feels freeing, other days uncomfortable. But through it all, you don't have to navigate it alone. If you're ready to explore those deeper questions and start living more authentically, I'd be honored to help you finally embrace the person you’ve been all along.
