Individual Therapy
People seek out individual therapy for many different reasons, at different points in their lives. Individual therapy is a joint process that requires a trusting relationship between a trained clinician and a person in a safe, confidential environment. I offer treatment for those who are going through a difficult time or life transition and may be looking to develop a deeper understanding of themselves and their relationships with other as well as for those who may be experiencing distressing thoughts or feelings, burnout, a change in functioning, decision fatigue, or disappointment in how they show up in the world and relationships. Together we will explore thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, assess what choices are serving or not serving you, and identify goals and objectives to work towards. Sessions are 50 minutes long and are usually scheduled on a weekly or biweekly basis.

The first session will focus on information gathering and a discussion of concerns that brought you to therapy. During the next few sessions we will work on developing rapport and you will decide if my style is a good fit for your needs. Finding a therapist you are comfortable with and feel understood by is essential for successful treatment. During sessions issues and concerns in your life will be discussed and goals will be created and worked towards. At the beginning of therapy and sometimes throughout its course, the journey can feel scary or overwhelming, as you may experience difficult emotions and painful memories. This is part of the process of healing and change.
