Individual Therapy

Individual journaling outside on hiking trail in nature

Individuals who feel anxious, overwhelmed, or disconnected come to therapy to better understand themselves and address patterns that keep them feeling stuck. My work helps you gain clarity about who you are, what you need, and how you want to move forward. Sessions are structured to allow for depth, not just managing symptoms, so you can create lasting change rather than short-term relief.

Together, we will explore the roots of your stress, trauma, or relationship patterns while also building practical tools that support emotional wellbeing in your daily life. Therapy is an investment in yourself and I aim for each session to feel purposeful, supportive, and intentional.

Anxiety & Life Transitions

You might be… 

  • Feeling constantly overwhelmed or overthinking, maybe without a clear reason, and taking time for yourself often feels difficult to prioritize without guilt
  • Processing grief or loss that may not tied to a death but still changed your life in a significant way
  • Working through stress related to family expectations, major decisions, or shifts in identity such as roles, parenting, sexuality, or gender
  • Unsure how to say no, put your needs first, or set limits without feeling bad or guilty or fearing conflict, abandonment, or disappointing others
  • Second guessing your choices or feeling afraid of making the wrong decision, especially during major life changes
  • Feeling stuck during transitions such as moving, starting a new job, graduating, changing careers, work stress, or changing relationships

In therapy, we can…

  • Reduce the pressure to feel like you always need to have everything under control or appear to be doing fine

  • Build practical routines with strategies tailored to your life, avoiding perfectionistic or overly complex approaches

  • Slow down anxious thoughts and acknowledge that self care and rest is essential for wellbeing rather than a privilege to earn

  • Navigate life transitions with clearer and more confident decision making to create steadier steps forward

  • Develop boundaries that you feel comfortable using and confident maintaining without guilt or second guessing

  • Learn to recognize and manage triggers in your daily life so that you can approach challenges with more clarity, calmness, and confidence

Self Understanding & Relationship Patterns

You might be…

  • Feeling unsure of your identity or sense of self inside or outside of your roles and expectations

  • Noticing repeated patterns in relationships that leave you feeling unseen, taken for granted, or disconnected

  • Struggling with self worth or believing you must prove your value by sacrificing yourself through doing for others or being a high achiever

  • Working through the impact of past experiences that still affect your reactions, decisions, and relationships

  • Questioning whether a current or past relationship was healthy and wondering what a better relationship would look like

  • Wanting more fulfilling connections but unsure how to meet people who match your values or how to change old patterns

In therapy, we can…

  • Understand why certain dynamics repeat and identify red flags that signal unhealthy patterns

  • Strengthen your ability to trust your own perception and make decisions that feel right for you

  • Explore relationship needs and goals without judgment or self criticism, clarifying what matters most and identifying steps to create meaningful connections

  • Build emotional insight and self awareness that helps you make healthier choices for yourself and your relationships

  • Clarify what you want from relationships and take actionable steps to create connections that truly support your wellbeing

  • Develop greater self compassion and a clearer sense of identity, values, passion, and purpose so you can show up as your true self rather than shaping yourself for others

  • Yes, I am in network with Blue Cross Blue Shield/Anthem and United Healthcare/Optum. I also accept private pay for patients not using insurance. If you have out of network benefits, I can provide a superbill for you to submit to your insurance company for potential reimbursement. Please contact your insurance provider directly to confirm your mental health coverage, deductible, and any copays.

  • You can connect with me by emailing, calling, texting, or filling out the form on my contact page. Once you reach out, I will ask a few brief questions to ensure the service is a good fit and then schedule your intake session. I will send electronic paperwork for you to complete before your first session. If you would prefer to start with a free 15-minute consultation, that is always an option.

  • The first session focuses on getting to know each other and identifying what you would like to work on. I will ask questions about your past experiences and current concerns. Together, we will set goals and outline some initial steps. If I believe your needs would be better supported elsewhere, I will be honest and provide referrals. In ongoing sessions, we will work toward your goals and adjust as needed. Sessions usually start at weekly or every other week and sessions often decrease in frequency as you build confidence managing challenges on your own.

  • Absolutely! I am a mandated reporter so the only time information is shared without your consent is if there is a safety issue involving you or someone else. Outside of those situations, everything shared in therapy is confidential. If we decide sharing information with someone else would be helpful, we will discuss exactly what you want shared and what you do not. I will only release this information with your written permission.

  • This is something we can discuss together to decide what makes the most sense. Occasionally, it may be helpful for a partner to join sessions. However, it is considered a conflict of interest for a therapist to provide both Individual Therapy and Relationship Counseling, as it may prevent a partner from feeling equally supported. Therefore, I may recommend working with a separate therapist. I can help you find someone and coordinate care if you choose that route.

  • No. Therapy can be helpful at any stage. You do not need to be in crisis to benefit from support, insight, and skill building for life’s challenges. Many people begin therapy to prevent recurring issues from becoming bigger problems later. In fact, this is a smart and insightful choice.
