Individual Therapy
Speak your truth, define your boundaries, and express your needs clearly.
Addressing major life changes
Society tends to rush us to be okay with transition. We’re all challenged to cope. But sometimes transitions bring up deeper things that need attention.
Big life changes — also known as “transitions” or “shifts” — may surface as:
– Career changes
– Death and grief
– Divorce
– Moves
– Relationship breakups
Any one of these things can become an overwhelming stressor on the system. We must find the ability to breathe and develop resources from deep within.
Life’s hardships can become valuable, pivotal moments. Taking care of ourselves remains top priority, but how we respond to these challenges can shape, even define our lives. Big life changes often present chances to grow toward better things.
Tackle big happenings and shift beyond.
Empowering individuals with relational struggles
In romantic, familial, and social relationships, how do you tend to present yourself? How would you like to show up?
Everyone should understand the entire map of how we, as individuals, relate.
We tend to learn about relationships implicitly vs. directly. As children, we learn more relational skills on the playground than in the classroom. As adults, it’s up to us to relearn what we know. We have agency to seek out ways to communicate that reduce suffering — in ourselves and in others.
Relationships are part of being human. We’re meant to survive in community. In individual therapy, we’ll notice the gaps between your wants, needs, desires, and boundaries… and implement changes as needed.
Explore the map of how you relate.
Empowering young therapists in training
For therapists, coaches, mental health practitioners and all people in helping professions… we’ll look at what comes up for you as you “develop muscles” to hold and be with other people. It’s a chance to deepen your capacity while doing the personal work.
We may talk about becoming therapists, but we’ll go deeper. As a therapist you have the responsibility of doing your own work— to earnestly “go there” in terms of your own psychology and experience. This is not supervision, it’s empowerment and guidance.
While not an official diagnosis, “Imposter Syndrome” is a real phenomenon. We’re talking about insecurity, a natural companion of growth. Showing up professionally may be clashing with how you view yourself, what you know about yourself, or your past experience. Learn to trust yourself to show up differently. I can show you how.
Early in my career, I never hesitated to spend money on therapy. I saw it as crucial to my development, a savior. I want you to cherish the process as well. To have that view and hold that into other people.
Deepen your practice and your personal work.
How to begin individual therapy with me
During the first session I conduct a guided intake. We look at what’s going on for you, where you are now, and how you envision your life moving forward. We’ll clarify your goals and explore how to address your needs through a series of verbal or somatic healing sessions. My approach is gentle but direct.
If you’re ready to stand in your truth and find positive life transformation, let’s connect.
For individuals, I offer a free 15-minute phone consultation, to assess your needs and evaluate compatibility of approach.
