Individual Therapy

What Is Individual Therapy?

Individual therapy is a one-on-one process where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and challenges in a safe, confidential space. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, feeling stuck in your relationships, or looking for clarity in your life, therapy provides the tools and support to help you move forward.

Who Can Benefit from Individual Therapy?

You might benefit from therapy if you’re experiencing:

  • Anxiety, excessive worry, or stress

  • Depression, low energy, or feeling stuck

  • Self-doubt and struggles with confidence

  • Relationship difficulties or attachment wounds

  • Healing from past trauma or childhood experiences

  • Burnout, work stress, or major life transitions

  • A desire for deeper self-awareness and personal growth

If any of these resonate with you, you’re not alone.
Therapy can help you develop healthier coping strategies, process difficult emotions, and move toward the life you want.

Why Work With Me?

Choosing a therapist is a deeply personal decision. Here’s what I offer:

🌿 Warm, empathetic, and non-judgmental support
🌿 Personalized, evidence-based therapy tailored to your needs
🌿 Culturally sensitive and trauma-informed approach
🌿 A safe space to explore your emotions, relationships, and identity

I understand that taking the first step can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to do it alone.

My Approach to Therapy

I believe therapy should be a collaborative, compassionate, and judgment-free space where you feel safe to explore your thoughts and emotions. My approach is personalized to fit your needs and may include:

  • Understanding Relationships & Emotions (Emotionally Focused Therapy)

    Helping you navigate your relationships, express your emotions, and feel more connected to others.

  • Exploring Past Experiences (Psychodynamic Therapy)

    Gaining insight into how your past may be shaping your current thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.

  • Building Coping Skills (Dialectical Behavior Therapy)

    Learning practical tools to manage overwhelming emotions, handle stress, and communicate more effectively.

  • Strengthening Self-Understanding (Internal Family System)

    Recognizing and bringing balance to different aspects of yourself, so you can feel more confident and at peace.

  • Mindfulness & Self-Compassion

    Developing techniques to quiet self-criticism, stay present, and build emotional resilience.

I’ll meet you where you are and support you in navigating your journey at a pace that feels comfortable for you.
