GET STARTED

Does any of this sound familiar?

Your brain won’t turn off. You worry all the time.

You’ve lost touch with yourself amidst work, parenting, and the weight of the world.

Your life is changing in big ways and you don’t know how to manage it.

You criticize yourself and doubt yourself.

In individual therapy with me, we can…

  • process transitions

  • get in touch with your needs

  • make decisions

  • untangle your past

  • learn new ways of coping and communicating

  • shift how you talk to yourself

Some therapists focus on giving you insight into your past, while others work mainly with your present behaviors. I believe we need a bit of both. I help clients understand their past and how it still impacts them, which helps us identify the skills and behaviors that can make meaningful, realistic changes in their lives now.

I primarily work with individuals experiencing:

anxiety

depression

life transitions

relationship issues

How individual therapy with me works

Get to know your symptoms, strengths, resources, and ways of coping while we get to know each other.

Identify the patterns, emotions, and underlying needs driving your behaviors.

Explore the past experiences and family dynamics where you first learned these patterns and behaviors.

Learn new ways of expressing emotions, calming difficult emotions, relating to others, and making big decisions.

Therapy is only a small part of your week, so we will be intentional about how to bring what we discuss in therapy into the rest of your life.

Let’s work together to help you get to know yourself again, gain clarity, and create a life aligned to your values. I don’t have all the answers, but I’d be honored to support and guide you in looking inward and making changes in your life.
