Individual Therapy

Make yourself comfortable.

Matilda* settles into her living room couch and opens her laptop to start a session. A sense of relief instantly washes over her.

“Hi Matilda, how has this past week been for you?” I ask warmly, ready to listen and take in her experiences.

She shares how much our sessions have helped her and how much she looks forward to our weekly appointments.

You’re safe here.

Matilda breathes a sigh of relief and openly details the highs and lows of her past week.

She unravels the thoughts and feelings that weighed on her mind since our last session, and together we acknowledge the familiar patterns and dynamics that Matilda finds herself in.

She often uses humor to release pent-up emotion, and I meet her there. Humor can be cathartic and therapeutic.

We work well together, and an ease and gentleness surrounds us. Matilda is able to safely dive into the depths of her heart.

Diving into your subconscious.

With attentiveness, awareness, and empathy, we explore how her earlier years of life may have set the stage for her to develop some unhealthy coping mechanisms and limiting beliefs.

We bring to light the unconscious parts of Matilda to create traction and momentum for change.

After identifying core wounds, negative beliefs, and root causes of her problems, we shift gears and I challenge Matilda to create new patterns, beliefs, and behaviors that align with what she wants and who she wants to be.

We collaborate on finding solutions that work for Matilda and ultimately heal and align her to a new, healthier perspective on life.

How therapy works.

Like Matilda, you’ll be an active participant in your therapy journey. Individual therapy empowers you to reclaim your voice, rediscover your inner strength, and rewrite your story.

It’s a beautiful, gentle journey of self-discovery and healing.

Individual therapy helps you figure out what’s at the root of your challenging beliefs, behaviors, and patterns.

Who is Individual Therapy for?

Individual therapy is ideal for those who are ready to address and confront those difficult topics that are usually brushed under the rug.

Topics such as shame, low internal worth, loud inner criticism, insecure attachment styles, grief, self-doubt, and trauma are some of the common themes of pain we uncover and heal together.

If you simply want a place to unpack and process your experiences, feelings, and thoughts that is free of judgment, expectations, or opinions, you’re in the right place.

Rebuild your subconscious mind.

Learn how trauma and past painful experiences impact your identity, beliefs, and sense of belonging.

In our work together, we will help you deepen your self-awareness so you can pinpoint triggers on your own and regulate your feelings at a faster pace.

I will assist you in implementing culturally appropriate boundaries to help you become more integrated, peaceful, and confident.

Helping you realize your full potential.

While we do spend time talking about and addressing problems, pain, and negative experiences, the focus of individual therapy is to help you develop strategies and coping skills that help you move into a new mindset that expands you to your full potential.

In individual therapy, we work on helping you gain an understanding of who you are at your core – before all of life’s experiences hid you behind shame, pain, and fear.

I also help you with seeking insight on how to implement your knowledge and convert your awareness into actions that create change.
