Individual
Individual Therapy
People rarely come to therapy because of one thing. It might be a relationship that keeps going the same way, a transition that has left you unsure of who you are now, or a heaviness you can’t quite explain. Often these are connected, and often you’ve been managing them on your own for a long time.
How I work
My approach is relational and depth-oriented. I’m interested in more than the problem you’ve named. I want to understand how it fits into the larger story of your life: the families and relationships that shaped you, the ways you learned to protect yourself, and how those patterns show up now, including in the therapy room. My work is informed by family systems theory and Emotionally Focused Therapy.
This isn’t about blaming anyone, including yourself. It’s about understanding what you do and why, so you have more choice in how you respond than your old patterns allow.
What people often bring
Recurring conflict, distance, or loneliness in close relationships
Life transitions, such as divorce, a career change, becoming a parent, children leaving home, or loss
Tension with family of origin, including aging parents, siblings, or estrangement
Feeling stuck, anxious, or low without a clear reason
A wish to understand yourself more deeply, even when nothing is “wrong”
Getting started
Finding a therapist who feels like a good fit matters. I offer a complimentary 15-minute phone consultation so we can talk about what brings you to therapy and see whether working together feels right.
