Individual therapy is for everyone. It is for the adult who faces constant demands in life and feels like they barely catch their breath. It is for the parent who finds their own unresolved issues leaking into how they raise their children. It is for the priest or pastor who feels alone and is losing their ability to care for the people they lead. It is for the college student who feels overwhelmed and needs guidance. It is for the busy professional who can’t seem to find work-life balance no matter what they do. It is for anyone who has experienced grief or loss. It is for the person who discovers they don’t know what they want in life and don’t know themselves as well as they would like.

You may be facing: addictions of any kind, the aftermath of an affair, impulsive behavior, conflictual relationships, difficulty sleeping, lack of motivation, feeling stuck, avoidance of difficult tasks, loneliness and isolation, or a deep sense of guilt and shame.

The person who wants individual therapy doesn’t just want to fix a symptom — they want their life to feel whole again. They don’t just want the suffering to stop; they want to learn how to make sense of it, change what they can, and weather what they can’t with dignity. They want to feel calm, content, at ease, and experience genuine connection in their relationships. They want to truly understand who they are and where they are going in life.

• Therapy for Life Transitions: Whether it’s a career change, a breakup, becoming a parent, or losing one, I help you find solid ground and move through uncertainty with clarity rather than just survival.
• Therapy for Burnout: When the demands placed on you consistently outpace your resources, I help you understand the root of your exhaustion so that recovery is lasting — not just a temporary reprieve before the next collapse.
• Therapy for Addiction: Addiction is almost never really about the substance or the behavior — it’s about what it has been doing for you, and I help you understand that function so you can find healthier ways to meet the same needs.
• Therapy for Personality Disorders: The ways we learned to survive our early environment often stop serving us as adults, and I help clients understand how their personality developed, recognize the patterns working against them, and build a more compassionate relationship with themselves and others.
• Therapy for Grief and Loss: Grief doesn’t follow a timeline and the world rarely gives it the space it deserves — I work with clients facing loss of any kind with honesty, patience, and genuine companionship, for as long as it takes.
• Therapy for Spiritual Deconstruction: Questioning or leaving the faith you were raised in can feel isolating and disorienting, and I help clients walk through that process honestly and emerge with a relationship to meaning that is genuinely their own.

I use a combination of Family Systems therapy, Attachment science, and Relational Psychodynamic therapy. Family Systems therapy values the context you were born into, the relational patterns you learned, and the ways you can heal within the context of relationship. Attachment science provides a foundational understanding for how you grew up and how it shaped your personality, as well as where the healing needs to occur. Relational Psychodynamic therapy guides us as we navigate your defenses and coping strategies, your motivation and meaning for life, and where you need to grow.

With a Doctorate in Professional Counseling, I have extensive training and years of experience helping whatever you bring into therapy. I stay current in the field, consult and train with other clinicians, so you can experience long-lasting change.

Clients who do this work with me often tell me they begin to:

• More competently handle their stress
• Feel more calm and joy in their daily life
• Have more confidence and purpose in who they are and where they want to go
• Make sense of their family background and its hold on them
• Have increased satisfaction in their relationships
• Have a higher quality of sleep
• Feel like they are running their life instead of their life running them

A session is a collaborative and exploratory space. I’m here as a guide and expert on therapy, while you are an expert in your life and experience. You and I will work together in a confidential environment and unpack all that you are facing, both in the present and in the past — and you can set the pace.

In our first sessions together I want to balance hearing all of the present painful symptoms and conflict you are experiencing with getting to know your history and background, which provides context for the work as we explore it together. Our first sessions are a place for you and me to get a sense of what treatment would look like and see if we are a good fit.

The following sessions are a combination of processing the events of your week balanced with exploration into your personality and background as we progress. Sessions are typically 50 minutes, scheduled once a week. I also offer therapy multiple times each week or 2–3 hour intensives for patients who want to go deeper into the work.

I want to attune to and collaborate with each of my patients — meeting them where they are and journeying with them as a guide toward their goals. We will regularly discuss your goals and what is getting in the way to make sure you are getting the help you need.
