Individual Therapy
Are you grappling with the weight of anxiety, struggling to navigate life's complexities? Maybe there's a persistent sense of self-doubt, making each day's demands feel like a mountain to climb. Sometimes, it's just a feeling of being low without a clear reason or struggling to cope with a specific situation.
Do you find yourself wondering about the root cause of your emotions, questioning reactions, or yearning for a profound change? Perhaps you've been shouldering the world's burdens, but now, you're ready to shed that weight and lighten your load.
Enter individual therapy—the dedicated space where we explore both the why and the how of your experiences.
Whether you're clear on what's triggering your emotions or searching for answers in the midst of uncertainty, this space is where we unravel the causes and craft pathways forward.​
​
Together, our focus will be to shed light on your current experiences and aspirations. We'll develop coping strategies to support you in the present while delving into the roots of your struggles to initiate healing. Healing often involves identifying and unlearning past beliefs that no longer serve us. I specialize in exploring these roots, guiding you to question and let go of beliefs and behaviors that hinder your growth.

What I love most about individual therapy is the space it creates for us to really dive into YOU. It's a chance to uncover what makes you tick, to understand your story and why it's so important. Together, we peel back the layers, exploring your experiences, feelings, and beliefs. It's not just about knowing who you are; it's about recognizing why you matter, appreciating the unique puzzle pieces that make up your life's picture.
Individual therapy offers a profound opportunity to be seen for who you are, providing comfort and unwavering support for sensitive issues. It's not just about being heard; it's about being listened to attentively and truly understood. Individual therapy is a space where accountability paves the way for personal growth, urging you to offer yourself the love and compassion that you deserve. It’s a safe place to grow, break down, and transform.
My Approach
My approach is as varied and multifaceted as the individuals I work with. At the heart of my methods lies trauma-informed therapy, a gentle yet powerful approach that acknowledges past experiences and their profound influence on our present. We'll harness the insights from cognitive therapies such as CBT and REBT, exploring the intricate interplay between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors to empower change from within. Additionally, we'll apply empirically-studied techniques like EMDR to reduce the distressing impact of traumatic memories, anxiety-provoking stimuli, and impulses.
Mindfulness practices will become a compass, leading you to the present moment with acceptance and grace, offering invaluable tools for managing anxiety, stress, and emotional dysregulation. Drawing from positive psychology, we'll shift the focus from surviving to thriving, amplifying your strengths to build a life guided by your values and needs.
Parts Work/Internal Family Systems (IFS) will unveil the mosaic of your internal landscape, acknowledging the diverse facets that make up your identity. This method serves as a gateway to self-exploration, facilitating deeper understanding and acceptance of yourself.
Moreover, my practice is grounded in cultural sensitivity—a celebration of the rich tapestry of human diversity. I honor your background, beliefs, and identity elements, recognizing them as crucial elements that shape your individual experience.
