Individual Therapy

Maybe you’re lonely in your marriage, going through a divorce you never wanted, struggling with depression or anxiety, or carrying the stress of parenting a child or young adult with special needs or mental health challenges.

Sometimes people come to therapy because of a crisis. Other times, they’re simply tired of repeating the same painful patterns and want something to change. And sometimes the load is too heavy and they need some support.

Therapy can help you better understand yourself, recognize what’s driving your reactions, and break out of tendencies like people pleasing, overfunctioning, or putting everyone else’s needs ahead of your own.

I help people work through:

  • Relationship challenges

  • Loving someone struggling with addiction or substance abuse

  • Marriage and identity changes during empty nest years

  • Pregnancy and postpartum transitions

  • Parenting - especially when special needs are present

  • Retirement and questions about purpose or direction

  • Lingering resentment, guilt, and shame

  • Healing after separation or divorce

  • Dating, career stress, and questions about direction or purpose

  • Feeling emotionally exhausted or overwhelmed

  • Understanding how childhood wounds are showing up today

Voyager upon life's sea,
To yourself be true,
And whatever your lot may be,
Paddle your own canoe.
