Elyse Jung-Vrymoed

Therapy is a collaborative journey—a space where curiosity meets compassion. I believe in the boundless generativity of “yes, and” and that being a person is deeply absurd and profoundly sacred in equal measure. My goal is to make you feel safe enough to let yourself be known and supported while you do the challenging work of becoming more authentically yourself. I specialize in working with people in transition who are ready to explore the interplay between their past experiences and present relationships. Whether you're a parent looking for an ally to translate for your teen, a couple feeling stuck and seeking their spark, or just a person trying to navigate this complicated and ever-shifting world with some sense of serenity, I aim to help you cultivate insight as much as catalyze actionable change. My work with clients focuses on uncovering hidden narratives and unconscious processes that influence your current emotional world. Then, we’ll work together to make changes that amplify your sense of agency and joy in life. Using dream work, active imagination, and reflections about what’s happening “here and now” in our sessions, I help to shed light on what is driving the patterns occurring in your life. As a therapist, I am kind, playful, and nonjudgmental, with an eye for how humor and storytelling can help illuminate deeper truths, ease difficult emotions, and create space for authentic self-exploration. My goal is to have you leave our sessions with a better understanding of your emotional landscape, a more compassionate view of yourself, and concrete strategies for managing life’s challenges. On a long enough timeline, everyone is driven to move toward wellness, wholeness, and integration in their life. My role as a therapist is to help facilitate your innate forward momentum...and maybe grease the wheels a bit. If you feel pulled to understand yourself, your relationship, or this moment in your life, reach out. I look forward to connecting with you.
