Individual Therapy
You haven’t felt like yourself in a while…
“I don’t know who I am anymore.”
No strong sense of who you are creates a challenge. Looking around you, it seems everyone has a clue.
Maybe you change who you are depending on who you are with. Trying out different personas has its hits and misses. New life stages have you confused. Maybe you let family, friends, and society define you.
“I want to live my best life but can’t.”
Obstacles can bar your growth. Some just happen. It seems like the world is plotting against you.
Distractions, memories, unforeseen events, and others we create ourselves. Perfection, fear, comparing, negativity, expectations – you may be stopping yourself.
“I feel lost.”
Aimless. Stuck. Lacking motivation. You’ve lost your spark. Floating from task to task, you may feel like you have lost sight of the person you want to be. You may no longer recognize yourself. This hurts.
Do you feel isolated and alone?
Are you withdrawing from the things you used to enjoy?
Do you feel like you’re losing control?
Are your relationships strained?
Or maybe you feel like you just need to talk?
It’s painful feeling anxious, depressed, unsure, and incapable.
Are you an over-thinker?
Intrusive thinking leads to forming predictions about your future. It’s like watching a movie before the script is written. Many of us live with enormous pain, playing out situations that may never happen, but we believe them to be true because they are our thoughts.
Are you consumed with negativity and pessimism?
Why is your life a struggle when everyone else seems to have it together? You always have to fight for it. You’ve basically learned to be helpless.
Do you feel “stuck”?
That’s what happens when every choice seems like a bad choice. Procrastination irritates you, but you have trouble making decisions to move forward.
Maybe you’re a sabotager?
You know what you need to do, yet you do the exact opposite and sacrifice so much.
You’ve probably reached out to those around you.
You struggled so long, relying on family and friends to hear you out.
And you’ve probably taken in their opinions on what you should do or how you should feel. Or maybe you’ve been told to just “get over it” or “stop being so sensitive.”
Initially, this works, but it is not the best path.
Therapy will guarantee a private space to process and talk through your life. You will have a designated time that allows you to STOP and reflect. We can help unravel what keeps you from being your best version.
Actual laws will protect your privacy. You will not be relying on a pinky promise to assure confidentiality regarding intimate details of your life.
We could all use a little help!
One-on-one help is a freeing experience, and I would love to be your guide.
Therapy allows you to open up about your thoughts, feelings, and circumstances in a safe, confidential environment.
I am an empath. I will be sensitive to the feelings, thoughts, and experiences you share and learn to understand the levels of issues you face. I will relate to you in a nonjudgmental way and listen to what you have to tell me. I will attune to you and try to put myself in your shoes. I will meet you where you are.
My focus is on you and building trust in our relationship. I know that a good connection allows you to disclose pain, take comfort in expressing emotion, feel safe and supported, and work through difficult issues. I will be genuine, flexible, responsive to your needs, and collaboratively customize your treatment.
I am trained in a special way to listen, providing insights into what you may have missed and giving you the encouragement you need to tell your story.
Therapy can help you understand yourself better, improving your ability to thrive. It can be a new way to approach challenging situations you may face.
We will explore areas within yourself or your life that cause struggles. My clients decide to work with me for wide-ranging reasons…
- Lack of control
- Anxiety, depression, mood swings
- Trauma
- Grief and Loss
- Marital struggles
- Lack of boundaries
- Medical struggles and fears
- Inability to be productive and stay on track
- Difficulty with life transitions
But we won’t only look at what’s wrong. We can identify your strengths and help you use them more.
Playing to your strengths makes you more likely to feel energetic, perform better, and accomplish your goals.
Imagine…
Increasing perseverance – being able to stay on task despite challenges and obstacles.
Using optimism to decrease stress.
Building resilience to bounce back from trying circumstances.
Do you want to…
Take the good in your life and make it better?
Be a better problem solver?
Heal from the deep-rooted ills in your life?
Understand what’s behind your anxiety and mood swings?
Define what happiness means for YOU?
Become more optimistic, living on the positive side of life?
Build better habits that result in long-term change?
Then, YES, you should start therapy!
I want to hear your story…
… and to help you write a better one.
If it seems like you’re swimming around in a crazy world and could use a hand finding your direction and voice, this is the place to be!
This is your time. This is about YOU.
