Individual Therapy
We Start Where You Are
Are You Ready to Heal, Grow and Cultivate a Life You Love?
Are you feeling down and depleted, wanting to calm an inner critic that’s telling you that you’re not worthy, lovable or good enough?
Do you often feel on edge, consumed with stress or worry?
Are you experiencing low energy and a lack of vitality, wanting to feel more passionate and inspired in your work, relationships and life?
Are you seeking personal growth, with a desire to explore your potential and up-level one or many aspects of your life?
Do you feel ready, even hungry, for change?
You Are Not Alone
Everyone goes through difficult phases in life—times when sadness, stress, worries and uncertainties take hold. When life feels heavy and hard, or that it’s moving too fast, it’s not uncommon to feel lost, lonely or burnt out.
You may worry that something is lacking in your life. Or, activities that you once enjoyed may now feel mundane or have lost their appeal. Feeling uncertain or unfulfilled in your relationships or professional life may be creating anxiety and impacting your vitality, creativity and confidence. Perhaps you’re harboring feelings of sadness, guilt, anger, shame or blame that are keeping you from being present and affecting your ability to show up for others—and yourself—in ways that feel good.
You may have reached that place—as so many of us do—in which you know that you could use support and guidance to identify and work through what’s not working and begin designing a more productive and meaningful life. If you’re interested in individual therapy and looking for an experienced therapist to help you work through current challenges, explore past hurts and move into a new and empowered way of being in the world and with yourself, I can help.
Rewire, Reframe And Begin Creating Impactful Change
Biologically, we are hardwired to pay more attention to negative experiences than positive ones, which served us well back in the days of lions and tigers and bears. This still serves us well when a real threat presents, however, even when no immediate danger is present, with nervous systems dysregulated from trauma and constant overstimulation, millions of Americans constantly feel on edge and/or as though there’s something important missing in our lives.
Most of our negative thinking stems from messages that we are separate and must be beautiful, accomplish great feats and accumulate wealth in order to be “whole.” Losses, significant life transitions, trauma and daily stress also add to symptoms of depression and anxiety, which rob us of our aliveness, increase feelings of inadequacy and keep us questioning the purpose and meaning of our lives. And then there are relationship issues, family issues, time and money issues, work and career issues, as well as the nonstop thoughts and feelings swirling inside of us every day.
There are always going to be issues and challenges—that’s just part of life. However, there are resources and new perspectives that you can adopt and nurture that can help to reframe how you feel about yourself and the world around you. It does take a desire for change and a commitment to doing the work, however, healing and growth are always possible, and even small shifts in thinking can begin to bring more vitality and peace into your life.
Individual Therapy Can Help You Feel Empowered And Alive
Whether you are talking about your feelings or not, they are still there. In order to truly become unstuck and experience relief from the hard-to-hold emotions and experiences, you need to deconstruct the stories you’ve been telling yourself and shift into a new and healthier perspective. Although it may feel scary to think about sharing your experience with another person and to really feel your feelings, doing so often comes with so much relief.
In safe and warm individual therapy sessions, I meet you where you are and support you in opening to the difficult aspects of your life. Through a gentle, yet highly effective process of awareness and acceptance, we work together to transform anxiety into peacefulness, anger into resoluteness, fear into courage and sadness into compassion.
Through this empowering work, you can begin to realize that there is not—nor has there ever been—anything wrong with you. There were only things that you were told and then believed that made you think that you were less than whole. Through various forms of spiritual therapy and more traditional psychodynamic approaches, I help you see and let go of perceived deficiencies so that you can connect to the radiance of your essential nature.
Acceptance, Healthy Expression & Restoring Vitality
When we experience anxiety, depression or other emotional conflicts, the most common reaction is to resist or avoid. Most people will do anything to not feel discomfort. But, unless feelings are experienced with awareness, they go “underground,” obstructing full expression and draining our vitality. It’s important to pay attention to what our emotions and bodies are trying to tell us. Feelings and sensations are often wake up calls, tugging at us to identify, explore and integrate unaddressed parts of ourselves. When you develop this awareness, it becomes possible to let go of what’s not serving you and step into full potential and a life of wholeness.
As a non-dualist therapist who believes in interconnectedness and understands that everything that happens is an expression of life itself, the work we engage in is designed to help you experience relief and a sense of freedom. I’ll encourage you to take responsibility for your life; however, once you understand that what has happened, happened, and could not have happened any other way—as it’s all an expression of life force—feelings of guilt, shame, anxiety and regret often decrease. And, in the process of breaking down old stories, limiting beliefs and fears, you’ll also develop new, healthy ways to express this life force within yourself.
With the help of a compassionate, skilled therapist and an effective approach to healing, it’s possible to feel more fulfilled, shift out of negative thinking and accept yourself and your experience completely. There’s no need to continue suffering. Once you accept and let go, you create space for positive change. Through shift in perspective, increasing self-awareness, coming to a place of acceptance and embracing change, you can not only experience relief, but also enjoy increased productivity and more happiness in your life.
