Individual Therapy

I work with women, men, queer, trans, and other LGBTQIA+ identities, as well as black, brown, indigenous folks, and other marginalized identities (individuals and couples).

The struggle is real.

Our current world is stressful. Anxiety, depression, sleep disturbances, distractibility, irritability… the list goes on.

These feelings and experiences create real challenges for you, me, our neighbors, and our communities.

Whether it’s your partner, children, friends, work, or family, it feels like everyone continues to take more from you.

You keep giving because you care deeply for others, but how much do you have to give? How long can you keep giving? Putting yourself first feels selfish, yet you know you will drown if this continues.

The stress of it all is getting to you.

It’s making you feel like a version of yourself you either don’t know or are ashamed of.

It’s impacting your relationships.

You’re feeling resentful and guilty at the same time. This leads to internal tension that you find yourself burying or accidentally taking it out on those you love.

Conflicts seem to impact you more deeply than they used to. You feel sensitive and raw.

You can’t be present for the people in your life that you care about, like life at home, school, and work. Life is happening around you while you are scrambling to catch up.

You want to hide from it all.

It would be easier to crawl into bed and close yourself off from the world than constantly having to be “resilient” to the daily grind.

You’re all in your head, physically exhausted, or totally disconnected from yourself. The extremes of feeling good and feeling bad are swinging like a pendulum.

Maybe you haven’t reached a breaking point, or perhaps a big event brought you here. Either way, you’re ready for a change but don’t know where to start.

People are talking a lot more about therapy these days.

We are hearing more about its importance and benefits. Finally, we’re starting to celebrate getting help.

And with the online therapy I provide, it’s never been easier!

You can now access therapy confidentially through a HIPAA-compliant platform. You can join wherever and whenever you are. You don’t have to depend on reliable transportation, get a babysitter, or make time to commute through traffic on your lunch break in the middle of your workday.

Enjoy sitting on your couch with a blanket, in your bedroom with tea, or another quiet, private place while you’re still in your comfy sweatpants! When the cats or pups join us, that’s just the best! We can use our sweet pets as a source of comfort while working through some tougher stuff.

It’s all perks without drawbacks. With online therapy, we can still do artwork, practice mindfulness, and share resources like podcasts you can listen to at your leisure.

Helping you navigate life’s obstacles…

Working toward your wellness goals…

Feel more energy, be more in control of your life, have a more authentic connection to others, be organized, motivated, and most importantly, fully integrated as an individual and a part of your world.

This happens as we explore all the parts of you and your world – your daily routine and habits, your career, relationships, and more. We will move toward your wellness from an approach that encompasses your essence because we do not exist in a vacuum, nor do our challenges.

We are parts of larger systems, and our wellness depends on many aspects of those systems. This is how we create sustainable, long-term mental, physical, and spiritual health.

Incorporating the surviving and thriving parts of you…

As we work together, you will start to notice how you have survived challenging, painful, and traumatic life experiences.

You will start identifying when your resiliency has protected you. We will shed light on those moments to celebrate your internal strength and build on that strength. You will feel less shame and be able to celebrate the parts of you that have gone unrecognized.

Tapping into your internal strengths and power…

Listen, I know you may not believe this right now, and that’s ok. You don’t have to. But I do.

I believe you have incredible internal strength that keeps you putting one foot in front of the other, even when you feel like you can’t go on. You can live to your full potential. Slowly, as you start to believe that, too, you will begin to feel released from the cages of self-doubt, insecurity, and shame that hold you, and you will start to find healing in each day forward.

This will not end suffering or pain, but it will bring you joy and peace that enables you to find balance within suffering and pain. To find a love that encompasses the essence of life – a love that heals the suffering and the pain.

Developing skills to feel like the best version of yourself…

You’ll have the skills to self-soothe, increase discomfort tolerance, and intuitively navigate challenging experiences, even when they are charged with powerful emotions.

You’ll also develop skills to lead with your wise self and skills that enable you to engage in radical self-acceptance and the acceptance of others. To simultaneously accept yourself for who you are, work towards becoming the best version of yourself, and cope with the challenges along the way.

Now THAT’S optimal health! And We can get there!

I look forward to working with you!

Typically, sessions are weekly for 50 minutes, but it depends on YOU and your needs. We can figure all that out during our first phone call.

However we arrange it, you’ll emerge from our work feeling more strength, joy, confidence, and peace as we continue to navigate this world together as a larger community.

I’m so glad you’re here, ready to work toward your ideal version of yourself.

Let’s celebrate that! Call today for your free consultation. Let’s see how I can help: (406) 212-2456.
