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
• Ambivalence or confusion about your life
• Uncertainty about what path to take, even if the one you're on "looks" good
   

Emotional Well-being

• Feeling disconnected, anxious, depressed, isolated or alone
• Everything feeling the same -- dull, flat, heavy, drained or numb
• Defaulting to the same emotion, like anger, sadness, or worry, as a response to most things
