Therapy for Individuals

Relationships are problematic.

You’re up late at night researching your partner’s behavior online – learning new terms like emotional abuse, gaslighting, boundaries, self care, and how to maintain a happy relationship .

You fantasize this search will make your partner say, “Thank you for this enlightening information. Now I understand my alcoholic father, helicopter mother (that did everything for me) and chaotic childhood caused my behavior in relationships.”

Realistically, you know that late-night research got you nowhere. You’re now thinking, “I will find a therapist to understand myself, my partner, how we react to each other (our triggers) and get to the roots of this pattern”.

By exploring you relationships in childhood, how your caregivers interacted, and other contributing factors in your formative years, you may discover this plays a role in your relationship of choice today.  

Unfortunately, this is not likely to happen without a plan and some hard work – starting with seeking a therapist.

Does this sound familiar?

Anxiety rules your life, and finding a solution is not easy. You know something has to change, causing you to wonder, “can I get a handle on this anxiety”?

Your anxiety keeps you up all night – all you can think about is your work deadline, your romantic partner, and the friend who didn’t return your text. Then, after only a few hours of sleep, you turn off the alarm, dreading another day full of exhaustion and anxiety.

Most days are like living in a fog. Your energy is drained and you’re tired. For a fleeting moment in the evening, the thought of seeking a therapist returns.

Challenges are a part of life.

You need to gain some self-awareness and explore various options at this point in your life.

Relationships are not great, and your communication skills are lacking.

Although you have grand ambitions, a plan for accomplishing them is unclear.

Individual therapy can help you meet those challenges.

Here’s what individual therapy is like with me.

You set the agenda and identify the issues you want to address, such as anxiety, depression, relationship patterns, gain more confidence, learn to set limits, etc. Then, I will work with you to help you find acceptance in your situation, explore yourself inside out, and find solutions.

The goal is to help you heal as you develop ways of facing challenges and solving the problems you bring to therapy. Depending on the issues you want to address, we will identify the tools and approaches to help you overcome what keeps you stuck.

Through individual therapy, change is possible. You can gain confidence, feel more secure in your relationships, communicate authentically and effectively, learn to set limits and boundaries, and deal with toxic people in a way where you don’t feel used.

Finding a therapist is not what most people make a priority. You want more for yourself and have a clear vision of your future. Putting this all together will take help. Finding someone you can trust with your untold feelings, emotions, thoughts, and behaviors is your first step.

As your individual therapist, maintaining an open and trusting relationship is paramount. We can start our journey together when you contact me today.
