Individual Therapy
I see individuals for a variety of reasons. Often there is a triggering event, like a break up, death, illness or trouble at work. Sometimes there are long-standing unsettled feelings about life including anxiety, depression, and feeling conflicted, lost or stuck. I provide a safe and nurturing place to support you through your challenges while also recognizing and identifying your strengths. My approach is warm, engaged, inquisitive and intuitive, and
I offer practical tools and information. Below
are some common themes that arise in my
work with clients.
Sense of Self
- Self-doubt and self-criticism
- Believing you are unlovable or not good enough
- Mistrust of your intuition or "gut" feelings
- Trying to fit in or keep up with others
- Feeling like you're hiding or a fraud; afraid you may be found out
- Uncertainty about your opinions or interests, or believing they don't matter

- Uncertainty about what path to take, even if the one you're on "looks" good
