Why choose individual therapy?

Life can be challenging and overwhelming at times. Individual therapy provides a safe, supportive space to:

Have a supportive relationship where you can come as you are

Find relief from anxiety, depression, and stress

Process trauma

Make space for grief

Explore identity, relationships, and personal growth

Build coping skills for daily challenges

Improve self-confidence and resilience

Connect to sense of agency and personal choice

My approach to individual therapy:

Relational & Collaborative

The relationship between the client and the therapist is the most important aspect of individual therapy. When trust is established and the client feels safe enough with the therapist, truly great personal work can occur, all in the context of a healthy therapeutic relationship. Therapy is always client-centered, and what we focus on and attend to is always a collaborative process.

Somatic

In individual therapy, we work with the holistic needs of the client, including working with the wisdom of the client’s body. Working with the body allows the client to build greater capacity to be with and to feel their own emotions and felt experiences, and to process and release stored stress and trauma.

Trauma-Informed & Trained

I provide trauma-informed therapy and has training in trauma healing modalities like somatic experiencing (SE). Trauma-informed therapy is a compassion-focused and shame-reduction approach to therapy.

Experiential

Therapy is experiential, meaning that the client is directed to try out new experiences in session. This might mean I facilitate a guided meditation or visualization exercises, or that the client slows down to be with a felt experience or sensation in the body. Experiential therapy always requires informed consent before trying anything new.
