Individual Therapy

Life doesn’t always slow down when you need it to. You may be juggling big decisions, overwhelming expectations, or an inner voice that won’t let you rest. Maybe you’re trying to manage anxiety, navigate a major transition, or show up for everyone else while feeling disconnected from yourself. Individual therapy offers support and a space to pause and listen—to what you’re feeling, what you need, and who you’re becoming.​

specialties:​

>>Life Transitions & Identity Shifts

Whether you're starting college, beginning a new career, navigating a breakup, or questioning long-held roles or beliefs, transitions can feel both exciting and unsettling. Therapy helps you stay grounded and intentional through seasons of change.

​

>>Anxiety & stress management

Racing thoughts, perfectionism, overthinking, and physical tension—anxiety can be constant background noise or something that takes over completely. In therapy, you’ll learn to understand your anxiety, regulate your nervous system, and build tools to respond with clarity and care.

​​

>>Boundaries & Self-Worth

It’s hard to say no when your worth is tied to being needed. Together, we’ll explore how to set boundaries without guilt, build self-trust, and shift the internal narratives that keep you stuck in cycles of overgiving and self-doubt.

​

>>Self-Esteem & Personal Growth

Sometimes the hardest work is believing we’re allowed to take up space. Therapy supports you in developing self-compassion, clarifying your values, and building a relationship with yourself that feels less critical—and more kind.

​

>>Stress of College & Graduate School

Academic life often comes with intense pressure, imposter syndrome, and a lack of balance. Therapy supports you in managing workload, setting boundaries, and making space for your mental and emotional health—without losing sight of your goals.

​

>>Burnout in Teaching & Academia

Long hours, emotional labor, and the pressure to overperform can leave educators feeling depleted. Therapy offers a space to process professional stress, reconnect with your purpose, and set boundaries that protect your well-being.

​

>>Compassion Fatigue in Helping Professions

If you’re a therapist, healthcare worker, teacher, or caregiver, you may feel emotionally drained, disconnected, or like you’ve lost access to your own needs. Therapy helps you refill your own cup—with tools, insight, and care that’s just for you.​

You Don’t Have to Figure It Out Alone.

 

Therapy isn’t about “fixing” you. It’s about helping you understand yourself more deeply, navigate challenges more skillfully, and move through life with more self-awareness and resilience. You’re allowed to need support. You’re allowed to grow. You’re allowed to choose yourself. Reach out today to learn more or schedule a consultation. Let’s begin where you are.
