INDIVIDUAL THERAPY
We need each other, and that’s OK.
We live in a culture that worships independence. “Pull yourself up by the ‘ol bootstraps when you’re feeling down!” Or, “Just think positive, happy thoughts!” Sorry, but it’s not possible to solo-self-care your way into happiness and bliss.
Humans are born with a social brain that is hardwired for connection throughout our entire lives. Our safety and survival depends upon the help of other people. So, needing some support is not only normal — it’s necessary.
I know firsthand that it’s tough to find the right therapist. Perhaps that’s why I strive to be the kind of therapist I would want in my corner. I work hard to “get you.” I am fully present. I pay attention to you rather than the clock. My goal is to facilitate your growth, so I’ll make a repair if I get something wrong.
The most important predictor of success in therapy is the therapeutic relationship itself. My experience with clients has repeatedly proven this to be true – through a relationship with an actively engaged, emotionally attuned, relatable, and empathetic therapist, healing and transformation are possible.
Because I believe in the healing power of relationships, I show up in each session as a real person available for genuine connection. I will meet you with unwavering support, warmth, compassion, curiosity, and respect. Within this safe space, our work together will be organic, candid, collaborative, and always at your own pace whether you want to “just be” or “dig deep.”
We’ll go beyond basic talk therapy by using an approach that emphasizes both the wisdom of your mind and the physical sensations of your body. Most importantly, you will feel empowered to start living more authentically.
There are many reasons to seek therapy with me including issues with your relationships, emotional pain and trauma, finding your life purpose, self-esteem, confidence, feeling stuck, making sense of the past, or finding contentment in the present.
Regardless of what brings you here, let’s find out if we are a good fit.
