Individual Therapy
Are you having difficulty in your relationship(s)?
Has your life been difficult for a while?
Have you experienced a loss or a change in your life?
Do you need help with a big decision? Does fear rule your life?
Are you stressed about others?
Are you having an identity crisis?
Are you feeling isolated, depressed, or anxious?
If you are considering individual therapy/counseling, you are probably experiencing some type of discomfort, change, or dilemma. Deciding to come to therapy is the first step to feeling better. Sometimes the most difficult part is deciding to make that first phone contact with a therapist. Commonly there is a feeling of ambivalence about whether to engage in professional counseling.
Individual counseling is a safe place free of judgment to explore what has come together to create the issue you seek therapy for, which includes your thoughts and feelings, relationships, hopes, fears and regrets. I will work collaboratively with you, at the pace that is comfortable for you. Together we will explore the events in your life and how external and internal processes have brought you to this place from which you seek help.
Common misperceptions are that asking for help is a sign of weakness, or one must be crazy in order to go to therapy, or that one should be able to deal with their own problems, or friends and family should be enough support. If you have made your way to this website you know that these things are not true.
My style is empathic, supportive, interactive, relational, and depth oriented. Through psychological insight I will help you to gain emotional self-awareness about your communication and relationship patterns. I will respectfully and confidentially assist you through your personal growth process. I use an integrative approach utilizing a variety of theories and techniques depending on your individual needs. In this way I fit the therapeutic process to match the issues you bring to session.
Individual therapy is often the first step to finding your authentic self, free from the worries and constraints that hold you back.
