Individual Therapy

You feel like you should feel better.

You are high functioning, dependable, easy to get along with, and have friends and a relationship. Yet no one honestly seems to know how hard you struggle inside.

You’re at the grocery store, and they ask for paper or plastic; you need a paper bag for your child’s art project. But when they give you plastic instead, you smile, not wanting to bother them or be a bother.

Your lack of ability to communicate, people pleasing, 0 to no boundaries, and easygoing nature often lead to unexplained emotional outbursts or periods of you just shutting down or freezing out your partner or friends when they have let you down yet again.

Therapy works when YOU feel safe.

With my trauma-informed approach, my main priority is for you to feel safe, seen, and heard in the therapy room.

Whether through more traditional talk therapy or utilizing more targeted trauma protocols such as EMDR, you will find more than just symptom relief when working with me on a one-on-one basis in individual therapy.

Clients come to me for a wide range of issues, although one thing all my clients have in common is that they are highly functioning individuals. But, they often have a more profound feeling, knowing there must be more to life. That way, they can feel as good as they may appear to the outside world.

No problem is too small or too big for me. Since I enjoy working with the most complex cases, I can also work with clients who want to optimize.

Establishing the right relationship is essential.

The therapeutic relationship is one of the most essential facets and predictors of whether therapy will work.

My clients tend to gravitate to my warm, welcoming, nurturing nature. I will gently invite you, often with humor, to look at things differently, reframe, and encourage you to adopt a compassionate stance toward yourself.

We all have regrets and wish we could have done things differently. Don’t let the shame rabbit hole suck you in; instead learn how compassion with accountability can propel you forward to the changes you desire.

I believe everyone can change their story. You can, too.
