Individual Therapy for Adults


Life can sometimes feel overwhelming, exhausting, or emotionally painful. You may find yourself struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, trauma, ADHD-related challenges, low self-esteem, stress, or feeling stuck in repeating patterns that are difficult to change. Individual therapy provides a safe and supportive space where you can slow down, gain deeper insight into yourself, and begin the healing process.

My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and tailored to your unique needs and goals. I believe that symptoms often develop from deeper emotional experiences, unmet needs, and long-standing patterns that deserve understanding rather than judgment. Together, we will explore the thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and relationship patterns that may be preventing you from living the life you want.

THERAPEUTIC APPROACHES

  • Schema Therapy
  • Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
  • EMDR Therapy
  • Sandtray Therapy
  • Cognitive and Behavioral Interventions
  • Attachment-Focused and Emotion-Focused Approaches

As an Advanced ISST Certified Schema Therapist Supervisor & Trainer, I specialize in helping clients identify and heal long-standing emotional patterns and schemas that may contribute to anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, emotional disconnection, perfectionism, people-pleasing, shame, abandonment fears, or difficulty regulating emotions.

I also incorporate Sandtray Therapy — a powerful approach that allows clients to express emotions and experiences that may be difficult to put into words. Through symbols, figures, and creative expression, sandtray work can help access deeper emotional healing, increase self-awareness, process trauma, and explore unconscious patterns in a safe and supportive way.

I strive to create a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where you feel heard, respected, and understood. Healing takes courage, and you do not have to go through it alone.

In-person and virtual therapy sessions are available for adults. Please call or email to schedule a consultation.
