Individual Counseling
​"Some of us think holding on makes us strong ,but sometimes it is letting go" Hermann Hesse
​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Individual counseling is more than just providing a safe space to talk about the challenges you are facing. Whether your challenges are coping with depression, anxiety/stress, life transitions, addiction issues, or relationship stress. My focus is about helping you find the authenticity and contentment you seek by providing support to help you create meaningful change.
With over 25 years’ experience providing mental health therapy I have created a style/art of therapy that incorporates many different skills and strategies. In partnership we will take a deep dive into what concerns you. I will walk with you to both guide and coach you towards to changes you deserve. You never know what you may learn about yourself, discover new strengths, learn to embrace change by empowering your self-confidence in your ability to cope, increasing your authenticity.
My clients have described my style as warm, honest and direct. My counseling style in session includes a blend of both traditional talk-therapy and coaching. Additionally, I have found that holding space to laugh and smile can help with unpacking the hard stuff.
​
In the beginning we start with your present challenges. As we progress in sessions, we can then unpack parts of your past, both bad and good. These experiences have contributed to who you are now and can open doors to self-discovery and feeling understood, increasing authenticity. It’s helpful to explore what has worked and hasn’t worked to uncover patterns that may present as roadblocks to your personal growth. While unpacking the past we don’t stay there because we are also working to energize your present, all with the focus to lead you to the better days.
Strategies that my clients have benefitted from include Cognitive Behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, self-compassion among many others. The power of change can be impacted by our therapeutic relationship: meaning support, coaching, teaching, and exploring choices you can make. Therapy is not meant to be passive it is meant to focus on your goals and personal growth, but at your pace and always with your feedback. There is no one true path to feeling better.​​​

Our sessions together can focus on:
​
Clarity: Feeling stuck or overwhelmed can make it hard to find your path forward. Counseling offers a supportive space to explore your thoughts and feelings without judgment, helping you gain clarity, set goals, and feel more open to choices. Imagine the relief and confidence you can find as you take steps toward a brighter future.
​​​​​
Contentment: This means appreciating your strengths and feeling satisfied with your life. When your goals or direction feel unclear, it can lead to unhelpful behaviors like staying in unhealthy relationships, overindulging in addictive or unhelpful behavior patterns, creating feelings of being disengaged. Counseling provides a safe, nonjudgmental space to explore these habits and uncover why they happen, helping you make changes that truly benefit you.
​
Authenticity: Counseling helps you become more self-aware, paving the way for healthier relationships, renewed interests, and better self-care. Helping you to make choices that align with yourself authentic self, rather that continually being swayed by the expectations of others.
