Individual Therapy

Therapy helps you move forward with confidence.

I’m biased, but I feel overjoyed that the cultural conversation around mental health has shifted dramatically in recent years.

Not too long ago, therapy was a bit of a taboo topic. Folks would speak in hushed tones about who might benefit from “seeing somebody” or would occasionally lampoon adversaries with the suggestion as though it were a weapon: “You need therapy!”

It’s no longer taboo to acknowledge that sometimes you struggle to navigate the complexities of your emotions, relationships, and experiences. Overcoming those struggles is where therapy can offer invaluable support and guidance.

Therapy provides a safe and confidential space to untangle your feelings, thoughts, and concerns with a professional trained to be attentive and nonjudgmental. Therapy offers a unique opportunity to gain insight, develop coping strategies, and make positive changes in your life. Yet even though you can recognize how therapy might be helpful, something has been holding you back.

Help may be easy for you to give, but not receive.

Throughout your life, you have tended to take on the burdens, responsibilities, and emotions of those around you. And if we’re being honest, trying to handle it all yourself without accepting help has been a significant part of your identity.

Sure, you’re drowning beneath the weight of these obligations and expectations. Still, at least no one can accuse you of being lazy, selfish, or whatever adjective you’ve been staving off by pushing yourself to the brink.

Although your boss is happy, you feel exhausted. You’re a ball of anxiety, but the kids have Instagram-worthy lunches. Your heart is breaking, but your friend knows you are “such a good listener.”

Seeking approval from others keeps you stuck in the same old patterns or unfulfilling circumstances, and it makes sense.

Prioritizing your own needs seems foreign to you.

You know this path will leave you dissatisfied, hinder personal development, and limit your capacity to create positive change, but sure, you could keep it up. No one will force you to care as much for yourself as you do for everyone around you.

Making the bold choice to stop hiding behind people-pleasing and perfectionism is something that you alone can do. You’ve worked so hard for so long to curate others’ perceptions of you, and I know it can be scary to think about facing your real self head-on.

No one, myself included, will or can force you to lay down your armor in favor of living a more fulfilling life, and it is your prerogative to miss out on one.

Or, you can give yourself the gift of therapy.

Discover a new way forward!

Uncover the underlying patterns, beliefs, and behaviors that may be holding you back from reaching your full potential. Through this exploration, you can cultivate personal growth, enhance self-awareness, and foster greater fulfillment.

Experience a supportive environment to process the complex emotions you’ve tried to avoid, such as anxiety, depression, grief, or trauma. In therapy, I can help you develop effective ways of coping, improve emotional resilience, and restore a sense of balance in your life.

Improve communication skills, resolve conflicts, rebuild trust, or strengthen intimate connections. Therapy can provide guidance and tools to foster healthier, more fulfilling relationships.

You deserve the same love and support you have lavished on everyone around you all these years.

Call me, and let’s remove the final taboo from therapy: you deserve to benefit from it just as much as anyone else.
