Individual Therapy
Sometimes it’s hard to name exactly what isn’t working.
You might be dealing with anxiety, overthinking, relationship difficulties, or a change. Maybe nothing is obviously wrong, but you feel disconnected from yourself or dissatisfied with parts of your life.
You may notice the same patterns repeating, even when you understand them intellectually. Or you know something needs to change, but you’re not sure what.
Individual therapy gives you a place to slow down, pay attention, and get curious about what’s going on.
Our therapy sessions are a space to:
Show up as your full, uncensored self.
In therapy, no topic is off limits, including the things you don’t share with anyone else. In our sessions, you don’t have to be okay. You don’t have to make sense of anything right away. And you don’t need to shrink yourself to make anyone else comfortable.
Feel seen, heard, and deeply understood.
Over time, we’ll build a shared understanding of the nuances that make you who you are today: your story, your emotions, your patterns. Every aspect is tended to with care, and you will never be pushed toward quick fixes or anything you aren’t ready for.
Get practical support for moving through overwhelm.
Together, we work on calming what feels most urgent while simultaneously making sense of what’s going on beneath it.
As a depth-oriented, psychodynamic therapist, I help you slow down and tune into what’s happening beneath the surface, emotionally, relationally, and somatically.
Instead of rushing to fix symptoms, we’ll get curious about what’s been avoided, what’s being repeated, and what your body already knows. This work is relational, intuitive, and collaborative. And over time, it helps you reconnect with and trust your clarity, your needs, and your inner voice.
Your Therapy Journey
While the steps you’ll take along your healing journey will be completely unique to you, here’s how our time together will generally unfold.
-
We have a conversation.
After meeting for a short consultation, we’ll see if it feels like a mutually good fit. No need to prepare or even know exactly what you need. Just show up as you are. If we decide to move forward together, we’ll schedule your first therapy session.
-
We build trust and consistency.
Early on, you may arrive at sessions feeling tired, scattered, or unsure. But over time, the structure and rhythm of therapy will start to feel grounding. This is where we begin tending to what’s most urgent in your life with practical support and skill-building, while also holding space for the bigger picture.
-
You begin connecting the dots.
Patterns start to emerge in how you relate, how you protect yourself, and what you expect from others. The parts of yourself you’ve learned to silence also become much clearer. This can feel intense, but it’s where deeper shifts, insight, and healing occur.
-
You begin to do things differently.
In therapy, you begin to notice the expectations and old patterns that shape how you respond to life. As you understand them more clearly, you have more room to decide what fits and what doesn’t, set boundaries, and begin doing things differently.
Therapy is a place to keep returning as you grow. It’s a space to practice the skills that will continue helping you create a life that feels deeply reflective of who you truly are.
If you’re ready to understand yourself and your patterns more deeply, I’d love to hear from you.
FAQ
-
Friends are essential, but they’re not trained to sit with your hardest truths without flinching. In therapy, you don’t have to take turns. You never have to soften your story to protect the other person or wonder if you’re being too much. A therapist is also trained to listen differently: with clinical training, full attention, and no personal agenda. This isn’t a space for advice-giving. It’s a space to go deeper, at your own pace, with someone who knows how to hold the weight of it all and help you make sense of it.
-
That matters, and we’ll talk about it. Maybe you didn’t feel comfortable opening up, felt judged, or just didn’t connect. That’s great information for us to discuss, and it’ll determine how we ensure our time together is effective. A big part of this work is the relationship itself: feeling met, seen, and safe enough to go deeper. If past therapy felt flat or formulaic, it doesn’t mean you failed. It might just mean the space wasn’t right for what you needed.
-
That’s more common than you think. You don’t need to come in with a plan. You just need to show up as you are. Therapy isn’t about having the perfect story to tell; it’s about gently getting to know the story you’ve been living in, and what’s going on beneath it.
Therapy can be a place to understand yourself more deeply and make meaningful, lasting change.
Our work together goes beyond managing symptoms. We’ll pay attention to the patterns, emotions, and experiences underneath them, and what they may be asking of you.
