Individual Therapy

In this fast paced, ever changing world, sometimes you need to slow down and assess the current state of your reality to ensure you are moving towards your most fulfilling life. Individual therapy can provide you this space and structure to solve problems, conquer challenges, restore hope, heal pain and choose new paths forward.

Individual therapy can help you:

  • Process your experiences; the ups and downs of life.
  • Gain clarity and awareness about your thoughts, feelings and behaviors.
  • Create solutions to your challenges.
  • Connect with your unique strengths and resources.
  • Commit to expanding your life’s impact.
  • Increase your confidence.

My goal for individual therapy is to create a collaborative experience in which you develop awareness about your whole self; beliefs, thoughts, feelings and behaviors. This is important in helping you reach new possibilities. I believe compassion, acceptance, empathy and encouragement are foundational values I use to interact with clients in individual therapy. We will work together to create tangible goals and solutions with achievable action plans that will provide you the ability to address the complexities you are facing.
