Individual Psychotherapy

This is where most people begin when they want to address a difficulty in their life. Asking for help is not always easy, and I appreciate you taking the step to look into this option. You may be wanting help with anxiety, depression, stress, grief, and/or healing from a traumatic experience. Perhaps you feel stuck spiritually or in your relationships and want help figuring out what’s going on and what to do about it. You may be a college or graduate student working to develop your identity as you learn new things about the world. Or you might be a new parent, overwhelmed with such a significant change to your life and wanting to be the best parent you can. At any stage of life, you may also be wanting to figure out why some (or most) relationships haven’t worked well for you, and what can be done to help you have a better experience.

Even though the people I work with vary, as well as the topics they want to address in therapy, what remains consistent is the value of building a trusting, therapeutic relationship in which you can bring what feels like the darkest, most painful, and/or the “unacceptable” parts of you to our work. This is where change really happens - when you and I are able to talk about the untalkable, feel the unfeelable, and get to know the parts of you that have not been allowed to be known. This is what helps you heal, have more sense of being a “whole” person, and experience more success in your relationships, work, and life. For some, this happens more quickly. For others, we take our time. There is no expectation or rule here. I am here to walk with you on your journey, helping you understand the barriers or challenges you have faced and what you need to overcome them, and then helping you translate that into your daily life.
