INDIVIDUAL THERAPY
Understand the pattern. Rediscover your choices. Create change.
You may be feeling anxious or overwhelmed, navigating grief or a difficult life transition, struggling in a relationship, carrying the impact of past experiences, or simply feeling less like yourself than you would like.
At other times, you may understand what’s happening but still find yourself responding in familiar ways - in your relationships, under stress, in how you see yourself, or in the choices you make.
Individual therapy offers a space to make sense of these experiences, explore what may be keeping you stuck, and develop new ways of moving forward - with greater self-understanding, confidence, and choice.
Maybe you're asking:
Why do I understand my patterns but still struggle to change them?
Why do I overthink situations even when I know worrying isn't helping?
Why is it so difficult to set boundaries or say no without feeling guilty?
Why do I keep putting everyone else's needs ahead of my own?
How do I trust myself to make decisions without constantly questioning them?
Why do I shut down, withdraw, or avoid things when they become difficult?
Why am I so hard on myself even when I would never speak to someone else that way?
Why do certain situations or relationships trigger such a strong reaction in me?
How do I move forward when something in my life hasn't turned out the way I expected?
we'll work towards:
UNDERSTANDING & INSIGHT
Looking beyond what is happening to understand why - exploring the experiences, beliefs, emotions, needs, and relationship patterns that continue to shape your responses today.
RECOGNIZING THE PATTERN
Learning to notice the thoughts, emotions, triggers, assumptions, and automatic responses that keep familiar cycles going.
LEARNING SKILLS & PRACTICE
Developing practical tools for communication, boundaries, emotional regulation, anxiety, relationships, decision-making, and other challenges - then experimenting, practicing, and adapting them to your life.
EMPOWERMENT & AGENCY
Strengthening your ability to recognize your options and respond intentionally rather than automatically - building greater confidence in yourself and the choices you make.
HOW I WORK WITH INDIVIDUALS
My approach is active, curious, and collaborative. I'll listen carefully and help you explore your experience, but I won't simply sit back and expect you to figure everything out alone.
I'll ask questions, share observations, provide education and practical tools, and respectfully challenge you when doing so may help us identify something that's preventing the change you're seeking.
Depending on what brings you to therapy, our work may involve understanding earlier experiences, identifying patterns in current relationships, exploring emotions or beliefs, practicing new skills, or experimenting with different responses between sessions.
I integrate evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS)/parts work, Schema Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Choice/Reality Therapy, attachment theory, and practical communication and emotion-regulation strategies.
