Individual Therapy

You know you need to make a change.

But you have no idea where to start.

Your distress is really starting to feel out of control. You’re so tightly wound that you’ve begun isolating, using substances, and lashing out at others.

And that negative self-talk… it’s getting harder and harder to ignore.

You are desperate to feel better– to feel DIFFERENTLY.

It’s all so overwhelming, so you push it down. Again.

The shame, fear, loneliness, and distress creep in…

“Why am I like this?”

Enough is enough.

If you’re having trouble relating to yourself and the world around you, you’re not alone.

Fortunately, there is a gentler way to treat yourself and move through life, and I can help you find it. It’s my passion to help you get in touch with your values and find the long-lasting change you’re looking for.

I have advanced training in the evidence-based practices of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Motivational Interviewing – all of which will help you align your behaviors with your values and quell toxic thought patterns.

In our work together, we’ll discuss your past and current barriers to success and help you overcome them. If your life is going to look different in the future, we have to take a nonjudgmental look at the past to evaluate patterns in need of change.

I believe in solution-focused therapy, meaning we’ll leave labels aside and focus on future possibilities. Rather than solely focusing on a diagnosis, we’ll evaluate what you want to change and dive into a concrete plan to get you there. We’ll work together to devise concrete steps you can take outside our sessions to help you create the change you’re looking for.

We’ll help you change your thinking so that your mindset becomes your biggest asset rather than your worst enemy. You will become an expert at noticing your thoughts and evaluating whether these thoughts are helpful or harmful to your end goal.

After a short time of working together, you’ll find that you have a greater ability to respond to your internal experience rather than reacting from it.

Change is possible. Therapy can be the catalyst.

It’s time.

It’s time to let go of the patterns that no longer serve you.

It’s time to treat yourself like you would a loved one.

Maybe you’ve never learned (or even seen) this before. That’s okay… we can start at the beginning.

You’ve waited long enough.
