Individual Therapy

Learn how to attune to your true self

So much more than sitting on a couch

Therapy is intentional space – YOUR space.

A place where you can be seen – and heard.

You’ll enjoy the opportunity to get to know yourself better, gain insight and awareness, improve relationships, and express your thoughts and feelings FULLY – but in a safe, confidential environment.

To help you understand you –in a deeper way

But, why should I confront my feelings if they just make me feel worse?

OK, let’s not romanticize it – sitting with your feelings can feel like you’re choking, sealed in a chamber with no ventilation.

BUT…

If you subscribe to the belief that the only way out is through, you’ll eventually realize that you must sit with your discomfort to surpass it.

Shutting off the valve to discomfort, pain, grief, and fear sounds optimal, but it comes at a steep price.

That same valve compromises the flow of love, happiness, joy and connection – that flow of fresh oxygen you long for in your life.

Improve relationships, and express your thoughts and feelings.

And if you never get to the root cause of your struggles, you’ll eventually run out of air. You’re resigning yourself to remaining stuck in that chamber – chained to your past. Suffocating.

Release that valve

Take that step. Let it flow.

Therapy helps you get to the root.

By attending consistent therapy sessions, you’ll give yourself the opportunity for deeper, fuller exploration and profound understanding.

Therapy helps you learn how to accept your negative emotions and not let them overcome you.

The result?

You’ll learn to breathe. Deeply. Fully. Tune in and live your essential truth, while confidently navigating your life off the proverbial couch.

This is exactly where I can help.

It’s natural to feel reluctant to starting therapy. What if I change too much?

A few months of self-inquiry may lead you to realize…

you’re in a relationship that isn’t right for you

you’re missing out on the things that make life really meaningful

you haven’t yet really found your purpose

Therapy can help remove the wool from your eyes, and let’s face it: change can bring discomfort.

Let in the fresh air

Sometimes, the hardest part is making the decision to start something new and committing to it. If it were so easy to change on your own, you would have done it already!

But you’re not alone. We ALL need help overcoming obstacles and navigating through tough transitions.

The takeaway…

Therapy isn’t just for moments of earth-shattering tragedy or major crisis.

It prepares you to face those.

Through therapy, you train yourself to better understand, respect, and communicate your true feelings, wants and needs.

Therapy enhances your overall mental health, and health means much more than just freedom from pain.

It means strength, resilience, growth, and understanding.

And your mental health is worth it. You’re worth it.

You deserve to feel GREAT about your life.

There. I said it. And I’m not taking it back.

Often, we invest in other areas of our lives but overlook what’s happening inside.

We spend money on expensive gym memberships and fancy restaurants.

We make time to help our friends, listen when they need help, all the while ignoring the warning signs of our own anxiety and stress.

It’s about rethinking priorities

If you don’t prioritize your own emotional well-being, all other areas of your life will suffer.

Let me help you get back on the road again to becoming your happiest, most loving version of yourself. Your future self will look back and say, “Thanks!”

I help all kinds of people with all kinds of issues every day:

Relationship Issues

Interestingly, the deepest emotional wounds are almost always relational. To combat these wounds, we create both conscious and unconscious defense mechanisms against true intimacy. But when you face them, you create the space to break through these defenses and start enjoying fulfilling relationships again.

Life Transitions

Change can feel overwhelming and stressful. Maybe you’ve just moved, changed careers, considered going back to school, becoming a parent, getting married, or are going through another big life transition – processing these changes in therapy can make life feel a lot more manageable again.

Anxiety/Depression

Your thoughts are racing, stuck on replay. The cycle of worry and fear seem never-ending. You dread waking up each morning. You’re surrounded by friends, yet still feel alone. You’re exhausted – fed up with feeling this way, and you’re ready to feel happy again.

Disordered Eating/Body Issues

Addictions serve to numb your pain. The higher your stress level, the more dysfunctional your relationship with food and your body image become. Recognizing and acknowledging your feelings will lessen the tendency to revert to unhealthy, negative inner diatribes.

Stress/Burnout

You’re completely stressed and feel like you’re on the verge of a melt-down. You crave more balance and time for yourself.

The Inner Critic

There’s this incessant, needling voice that keeps telling you you’re not good enough. You’re tired of losing control and power, and ready to embrace your true worth. But the reel of self-doubt keeps you from embracing your true self.

Anger

You’re on the edge and feeling irritated. There is so much bottled up inside, and you need an outlet to express yourself.

Grief

Therapy creates a space to slow down and allow grief to run its course, without the pressure to expedite the process and pretend everything is okay. Our grieving is as individual as our lives.

Personal Growth

Maybe we seek therapy simply to get to know ourselves better and grow in self-awareness. Sometimes a major crisis isn’t happening, but we still long for a space to discover our deeper sense of purpose, identity, and fulfillment in life.
