Individual Therapy for

Adults


If you are going through tough time I will work with you to explore what you are going through, help process and find solutions, so you can start feeling better. You are invited to come as you are, use your curiosity, and explore different ways of processing your thoughts and feelings. You will have a safe place as you process what is presently on your mind. 

Helping you Feel Better

If you are struggling with things like sadness, anxiety, trauma or other life circumstances, I get how  difficult it can be. Throughout my life I have struggled with anxiety, depression, and panic. I get how it feels to have intense pressure of wanting to appear as if you have it all together, while feeling like everything is falling apart.  It is possible to manage the depression and anxiety, and deal with difficult stuff life throws your way.

You might be feeling hopeless and have lost interest in things you used to enjoy, or currently find it difficult doing basic daily tasks.  Maybe you feel embarrassed to open up about what you’re really going through, even to family and friends.  Getting help from a therapist like me can help you talk freely about what’s bothering you.

 

Here Are Some Specific Challenges That I Can Help You

As a counselor I have worked with people of all ages and backgrounds on many of their challenges and struggles, including:

  • trauma related experiences

  • sexual assault trauma / abuse experiences

  • grief and loss

  • anxiety

  • depression

  • low self worth, guilt, or shame

  • sense of fear or worry or panic

  • relational conflicts

  • family of origin conflicts

 

As your therapist, I will work with you to build the skills you need to deal with the difficult stuff you’re having trouble getting past. We'll work on ways to help you manage and get beyond the struggles you are experiencing.  Even if you are feeling overwhelmed with feelings like these therapy can help.  

 

You Can Feel Better

I am a therapist uniquely qualified to work with you to find solutions to help you start feeling better.  I have worked with individuals who experienced anxiety, depression, grief, interpersonal conflict, and trauma.
