Individual Psychotherapy
The dawn of a new beginning....
Sometimes the decision to engage in psychotherapy can be daunting and overwhelming. You may have been contemplating the idea of beginning therapy for some time or it may be that an experience or something in your life has triggered the decision to begin seeking support and/or a change. Many people begin therapy because they are experiencing sadness, depression, anxiety, grief/loss or can’t articulate the reason but know something is different and they just don't feel "right". Old coping mechanisms aren't as effective and/or you seek a different unbiased perspective. Whatever the reason, it is important to find a therapist that you feel comfortable with and can trust to guide you thru the path of self-discovery, awareness and well-being. It is not always easy to open up to someone new - so ask questions of a potential therapist, research them and ask family/friends for referrals.
It takes courage, patience and commitment to look within ourselves, face our fears, discover, learn, and ultimately love and accept with compassion all facets of our being. Individual therapy offers an opportunity to explore one’s thoughts, emotions, body, and behaviors in a safe guided manner using evidence-based practices and techniques. As we work towards your goals, we may determine others along the way. My goal is to provide you with a safe, nonjudgmental space to explore your sense of self, provide unbiased feedback and support, and offer tools that you can utilize in your life during and after our sessions are complete. Your ‘a-ha’ moment awaits.
Some of the areas I specialize in include: trauma, loss/grief, depression, anxiety, domestic violence, stress management, and chronic medical illness (including caregiver support). My treatment approach is integrative and I tend to utilize more cognitive behavioral therapy and trauma-informed therapy techniques but it depends on the person and what works best for them.
I look forward to working with you and/or a loved one on the path to thriving and living your best life. Each day brings a new opportunity to begin again, to renew, to work towards living optimally.
