Welcome! It takes courage to recognize that additional help is needed and to try something different than you’re used to. Take a moment and appreciate your strength, this is you trying something new, something you may never have thought about before. I look forward to being a part of your process, helping you embrace life’s challenges, using your personal strengths and resources to move in the direction of desired growth.

In individual therapy you meet with a professional that is trained to help you better understand and navigate uncomfortable thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Therapy will look and feel different for each person; however, it often involves practicing mindfulness and being in the present moment, identifying personal values, increasing flexibility in the way you relate to thoughts and emotions, and becoming unstuck from unhealthy patterns. Therapy will be tailored to what you want, need, and hope for in respect to your goals. Therapy is not a “one size fits all” service and techniques from a variety of approaches may be included in sessions.

Therapy often involves delving into present, future, and past concerns, with a focus of meeting you where you are NOW. You will increase insight, gain new perspectives, be listened to without judgment or expectations, and be encouraged to self-reflect on a deeper level. Often, change involves learning healthy coping skills, such as deep breathing and grounding techniques, setting healthy boundaries, and clarifying values. Mindfulness is a powerful player in change/growth and will be included in the our work as well. When the time is right we will focus more on changing behaviors, working at your own pace, to work towards goals that you set for yourself.
