Individual Counseling

Individual Counseling for Adults & Teens

Are you feeling disconnected from yourself or others? Do you feel anxious or depressed and not sure where to start? Maybe you experienced something challenging in the past, and you want to heal and move forward. Let’s work together to get you on track to the life you desire and deserve. I work primarily with teens ages 15+ and adults ages 18-35 experiencing anxiety, depression, and complex PTSD. I utilize a blend of traditional talk therapy and experiential therapies to support you holistically.

Why Choose Individual Counseling?

Relationships shape our experiences, but past wounds and unresolved emotions can impact how we connect with ourselves and others. Individual counseling provides a safe and supportive space to explore these challenges, heal from relationship traumas, and develop healthier, more fulfilling connections. People seek individual counseling for various reasons, including:

  • Healing from past relationship traumas

  • Developing self-awareness and emotional resilience

  • Overcoming patterns of unhealthy relationships

  • Building self-confidence and self-compassion

  • Enhancing communication and boundary-setting skills

  • Navigating life transitions and personal growth

No matter where you are on your healing journey, individual counseling can help you create meaningful change in your life and relationships.

What to Expect in Individual Counseling

Counseling is a collaborative process tailored to your personal needs and goals. Sessions may involve:

  • Exploring past experiences and their impact on current relationships

  • Identifying and shifting unhelpful thought patterns

  • Developing healthy coping strategies for emotional regulation

  • Practicing mindfulness and self-compassion techniques

  • Strengthening communication and relationship skills

  • Engaging in movement-based approaches to facilitate healing and connection

Each session is designed to empower you with insights and tools that foster personal growth and emotional well-being.

How the Process Works

  1. Initial Consultation: We’ll have a 30-minute phone consultation to see if we’ll be a good fit to work together. This is an opportunity to discuss your concerns, history, and goals for therapy.

  2. Building Trust: You’ll learn skills to work through triggers, manage distressing emotions, and build connection and trust with yourself.

  3. Deep Awareness: You’ll gain insight into relationship patterns and areas for growth.

  4. Healing: Through evidence-based techniques, you’ll work toward healing from past wounds.

  5. Integration & Application: You’ll practice and integrate new skills in daily life, fostering confidence and emotional balance.

  6. Ongoing Support & Growth: Whether short-term or long-term, therapy supports continued healing and personal development.

Healing starts within. By investing in your own well-being, you create the foundation for more fulfilling and authentic relationships with others.
