Owning our story and loving ourselves through that process is the bravest thing we'll ever do.


Brene Brown, The Gifts of Imperfection

Individual Therapy

 In individual therapy, you don’t have to hold it all together. This is your space — to speak freely, feel fully, and explore the deeper patterns that shape how you show up in your relationships, your roles, and your sense of self.


Many of my clients come to therapy feeling burned out, overwhelmed, or emotionally disconnected — not just from others, but from themselves. You might be the one who always manages the details, keeps the peace, or carries the emotional weight. Over time, that kind of over-functioning can lead to resentment, confusion, and a loss of clarity about what you actually want or need.

 

As a relationship therapist, I bring a relational lens to individual work. Whether you're navigating partnership, parenting, family dynamics, or your own inner conflicts, therapy can help you recognize how your patterns were shaped — and how you can start to respond differently. 


 And... when you shift, everything around you begins to shift, too. 


My approach is grounded in deep listening, trauma-informed care, and evidence-based practices drawn from the Gottman Method, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and psychodynamic theory. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, parenting stress, relationship challenges, neurodivergence, or recovery — therapy can help you reconnect with your voice, your values, and your strength.


You don’t have to figure it out alone.
