I work to create a space that encourages clients to bring all aspects of themselves into their therapy, because I know that true understanding and transformation begins when we give ourselves permission to fully feel and express ourselves. When you feel safe and seen within the therapeutic relationship, you will be presented with an opportunity to safely venture into your own self-exploration with curiosity, compassion, and understanding. As you begin to unveil old patterns you have been stuck in, you will notice an increase in your self-awareness and experience a sense of empowerment to adjust the ways you relate to others and the ways in which you engage in life more broadly

What Is Individual Therapy?
Individual therapy involves one person meeting with a trained and licensed mental health professional and talking about what is bothering them.
Therapy provides a safe and trusting environment for people to express their feelings or beliefs, process influential or painful memories, gain understanding about their emotional world, themselves and how they interact with others, identify and change unhelpful ingrained ways of thinking or behaviors, and generally, move toward desired goals.
Some people seek therapy for help with specific issues such as anxiety, grief, interpersonal difficulties, work life balance, adjusting to a life transition, trauma or depression.
Others want to improve themselves by changing their behaviors and gaining more insight into their emotions, motives, and relationships. Some people are ready to finally work through some of those "issues" they have been carrying around.
For some things such as mild-moderate depression, anxiety, grief, self-esteem, interpersonal issues, and personality issues, individual therapy and counseling are more effective than medication.
What Happens In Individual Therapy?
Individual therapy and counseling can encompass talking about your current struggles, processing and working through painful memories, teaching people specific methods to cope with stressful situations and strong emotions, identifying unhelpful ways of thinking, and understanding and accepting existential quandaries.
Therapists can be quiet, letting the client guide the conversation and occasionally providing insight or direction. At other times therapists can be more active and direct by leading the client in an experiential or cognitive exercise.
It can be hard to describe what individual therapy is like because each therapy is unique. At the core of every effective psychotherapy is the connection between the client and therapist.
Numerous studies have shown that the strength of the therapeutic relationship is the most important factor for change. This does not mean that you have to “like” your therapist, but it is essential that you trust your therapist and can work well with them.
There are many different types of individual therapy. The client’s needs and the expertise of the therapist will determine which methodology will be used.
We have therapists and psychologists who are trained in a variety of therapeutic modalities such as Psychodynamic, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Somatic Experiencing, EMDR, Existential Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.
