Individual Therapy
Many adults reach out to therapy when something in life begins to feel overwhelming, stuck, or harder than it used to be — whether that’s anxiety, repeating relationship patterns, parenting stress, or the lingering impact of past experiences.
Individual therapy offers a space to slow down and make sense of what’s happening beneath the surface. Together we explore the patterns and coping strategies that may have once helped you adapt but are no longer serving you or the people you care about.
The goal isn’t just insight — it’s meaningful change in how you relate to yourself, your relationships, and your life.
Even when a struggle feels personal, it is often connected to patterns shaped by our relationships and life experiences.
You Don’t Have to Hold It All Together Anymore
You don’t have to hold it all together anymore. Your story’s still unfolding. Let’s help you feel grounded in it.
There are many understandable reasons we hold things in, avoid, or react in ways that aren’t helpful for ourselves or our relationships — often because those patterns helped us survive, belong, or cope at one point in our lives. But these moments often wear out their welcome and we can run ourselves and our relationships into the ground.
Therapy gifts us with moments of being fully seen — where we can name what is true without judgment — where we can take what is helpful and leave the rest behind. Over time, life can be lived without the same weight of shame, anger, or fear, and we are left with more access to calm, clarity, and choice.
Let’s Start Where You Are
Life feels heavy right now. We are all juggling so much these days— school, work, family, expectations — and it’s hard to keep our heads above water. Maybe anxiety won’t let you rest, or old hurts keep showing up when you least expect them. The world keeps asking for more, and you’re running on empty.
Stop “Shoulding” on Yourself
Deep down, you’re wondering why it feels so hard just to be okay. You tell yourself you “should” be able to handle this, but you’re tired of pretending everything’s fine. You want to feel like yourself again — with more calm, confidence, and hope.
I Can Help
You were never meant to do this alone. Everyone deserves a place to untangle the noise, make meaning of what happened, and build a steadier relationship with themselves.
Areas I Support (for you or for your child[ren])
Anxiety, Stress & Fear
Anxiety can feel like living with your foot on the gas and the brake at the same time — racing thoughts, dread about the future, tension in your body, trouble sleeping, or constantly scanning for what could go wrong. Therapy helps identify what’s fueling the anxiety and teaches you practical tools to calm your nervous system. We work toward steadiness, confidence, and a sense of internal safety — so you’re not living in fight-or-flight mode.
Depression, Agitation & Hopelessness
Depression isn’t always just sadness. It can look like numbness, fatigue, irritability, disconnection, or feeling like you’re moving through life under a heavy blanket. Therapy offers a space to talk honestly without having to “perform wellness.” We gently rebuild motivation and meaning — not by forcing positivity, but by reconnecting you to what matters and what’s true.
Self-Esteem Struggles
Self-esteem struggles often show up as people-pleasing, second-guessing, perfectionism, or an inner voice that never feels satisfied. These beliefs didn’t come from nowhere — they were shaped by experiences and relationships. Therapy helps you understand the origins of self-doubt and build a new relationship with yourself that is more compassionate, grounded, and confident.
Life Transitions & Changes
Transitions — even good ones — can unearth stress, grief, and fear. Career changes, relationship shifts, relocation, new parenthood, adolescence in your children, or midlife changes can leave you feeling unsteady. Therapy provides support, perspective, and clarity so you can move forward with intention rather than fear.
Childhood Trauma, Abuse & PTSD
Trauma can change how your body responds to stress and how safe the world feels. You may experience hypervigilance, emotional flooding, shutdown, difficulty trusting, or feeling “stuck” in old memories or reactions. Trauma-informed therapy helps you make sense of your responses, restore control, and heal at a pace that respects your nervous system — rebuilding safety from the inside out.
Support for LGBTQIA+ Clients
Many LGBTQIA+ people carry stress that others don’t always see — identity development, family dynamics, internalized shame, discrimination, safety concerns, or complicated relationship experiences. Therapy offers an affirming space where your identity is respected and supported. Whether you’re exploring identity, navigating coming out, healing from trauma, or working through anxiety or depression, you deserve care that fully sees you.
Unhelpful & Unhealthy Behaviors
Avoidance, emotional eating, overworking, substance use, shutdown, or harsh self-criticism are often attempts to cope. Therapy helps you understand what those behaviors are doing for you — and what they cost you — without shame. We build healthier alternatives that align with your values and support the life you want.
Relationship Distress
Relationship pain can look like repeating conflict, difficulty communicating, trust issues, or feeling alone even when you’re not. Therapy helps you identify patterns, strengthen boundaries, communicate more clearly, and decide what you want next — whether that’s repair, deeper connection, or clarity about a decision.
Parenting Difficulties
Parenting can be humbling, exhausting, and emotionally intense. Even loving parents can feel overwhelmed, unsure, or triggered. Therapy supports parents in building confidence, regulating stress, and developing practical tools for connection and communication — because supporting your mental health is part of supporting your child.
Co-Parenting Through Separation & Divorce
Co-parenting can feel like a constant negotiation, especially when emotions are high or your Coparent is difficult. Therapy helps you focus on your child’s needs while setting boundaries, reducing conflict exposure, and building a stable emotional environment. You deserve support while navigating this transition.
Autism & ADHD Support
Neurodivergence impacts emotional regulation, attention, routines, relationships, and self-understanding. Therapy offers neurodiversity-affirming support that focuses on strengths while addressing real-world challenges. Whether you’re navigating diagnosis, burnout, overwhelm, or feeling misunderstood, therapy can help you build tools, self-advocacy, and self-acceptance.
Narcissistic Abuse & Gaslighting Recovery
Narcissistic abuse can leave you disoriented: doubting yourself, questioning reality, and feeling like you lost your sense of identity. Psychologist Dr. Ramani Durvasula describes narcissistic abuse as patterns of manipulation and emotional harm that erode a person’s sense of self and trust in their perceptions. Therapy supports you in rebuilding self-trust, strengthening boundaries, processing trauma responses, and reclaiming your voice and clarity.
