INDIVIDUAL THERAPY
If you’re considering individual therapy, you may be feeling a growing discomfort or dissatisfaction – as if you’ve lost your way and are hoping you’ll eventually, somehow, find the way forward again.
You may have lost touch with the dreams you’ve had, lost interest in what used to feel meaningful. Perhaps you feel that you aren’t living the life you envisioned.
You can try to push through these unsettling feelings for a long time, but your body and soul are trying to get you to listen. Something needs to change.
Sometimes the need to re-examine our lives shows up gradually: we become aware of a growing restlessness or dissatisfaction. We feel anxious or depressed.
Sometimes it emerges during a major life change: a divorce, illness, loss of a job, or affair.
We’re forced to shed old ways, re-examine priorities, and transform.
THERAPY CAN HELP YOU FIND YOUR WAY
Individual therapy is a transformative tool that empowers you to explore your thoughts and feelings, gain greater self-awareness, and develop coping strategies to navigate life's challenges more effectively. It provides a safe space for you to express yourself without judgment and can lead to personal growth and healing. I aim to create a secure environment where we can collaboratively explore what’s functioning well and what could be improved.
​
Whether you are looking to learn more about yourself, make specific changes, or learn strategies to help manage anxiety or depression, therapy can serve as a profound learning and healing process.
You learn to accept yourself fundamentally, let go of defenses, connect with a deeper, authentic self, and make meaningful, lasting changes.
​
You find parts of yourself that have been hidden, and you become “whole.”
You heal and grow. You both accept yourself and make healthy changes.
As Zen monk and teacher Shunryu Suzuki says, “Each of us is perfect as we are… and we can use a little improvement.”
