Individual Counseling
Many people come to therapy during a season of life that looks successful from the outside yet feels unsettled internally. You may be showing up for your relationships, giving your best effort, and trying to build a life that makes sense, but something in you keeps tugging for attention. Perhaps you notice familiar patterns surfacing in partnerships or friendships. Perhaps you feel emotionally stretched or uncertain about whether you are living in alignment with your values or from old expectations you didn't choose.
For some, this turning point arrives quietly. A sense of loneliness within a relationship. A feeling of being over-responsible or unseen. A recurring belief that you are too much or not enough. A growing awareness that important parts of you have been muted in order to keep peace or maintain stability. You might not be in crisis, yet you feel the ache of misalignment in your body and relationships.
Individual therapy provides a space to slow down and explore these deeper currents. This is a space where you can name the complexity of your inner world without pressure to resolve it quickly. Together we can explore the influences of your upbringing, the stories you inherited about love and identity, and the relational strategies that once protected you but no longer feel sustainable. We will make room for the parts of you that feel conflicted, exhausted, hopeful, or afraid of change.
​
Many clients who begin individual work are navigating significant transitions or relational thresholds. Some are questioning the sustainability of a marriage or partnership. Others are grieving the loss of connection or wrestling with the impact of trauma, caretaking, or chronic emotional labor. You may be trying to understand what you truly want before making big decisions. Therapy can help you move through this terrain with clarity, self-respect, and emotional steadiness.
​
Our work together will be collaborative, grounded, and deeply respectful of your lived experience. We will explore the patterns that shape your relationships with others and with yourself. This may include developing emotional awareness, cultivating authentic boundaries, or learning how to express needs without fear of conflict or abandonment. If you are engaged in couples therapy, coaching, or personal development work, individual therapy can help you integrate insights and stay connected to your own truth.
​
I draw from relational, somatic, and insight-oriented approaches, including Internal Family Systems, EMDR, and narrative therapy. These modalities help you understand the protective roles your inner parts have learned to play, allowing for healing that honors the depth of your history rather than trying to override it. The goal is not to fix who you are, but to create space for a more authentic, embodied, and connected version of yourself to emerge.
​
If you are ready to explore the questions that have been living beneath the surface, I welcome you to schedule a complimentary twenty-minute consultation. Therapy can be a steady place to understand yourself more fully and move toward relationships and choices that feel aligned with who you are becoming.
