Individual Therapy

The past has a way of interfering with the present.

You didn’t get into this mess alone, and you need help to get out of it. Although you tried to adapt to the environment in which you grew up, those early patterns and beliefs keep screwing up your life.

Those issues are not easy to shake, even though you know they are not helpful or true.

My job is to help you dispel those beliefs that keep you stuck.

Shame is one of your biggest obstacles.

Shame makes you feel like you cannot succeed, aren’t able to follow through, or can’t stop doing things that are good for you. Shame can even make you ashamed for having shame.

When that internal voice keeps telling you that you are not good, achieving your goals and meeting your needs is very challenging. I’m here to help you quiet that voice and remove that obstacle so you can grow and thrive.

You can take the first step in overcoming the shame by reaching out for help. The first step is the most challenging because you’ll have support after that. You don’t have to go through it alone.

This time is YOUR time!

Individual therapy provides time to focus entirely on your life and needs. The work is challenging.

Your early life taught you to believe that it’s selfish for you to focus on yourself, much less to pay a professional therapist to also focus on you. But you know you can’t give to others until you are right with yourself. You can’t have meaningful give-and-take relationships until you have healed what hurts.

Long-term issues create a baseline of stress that makes even the small things seem beyond your ability to cope. Like your body, your mind and emotions know how to heal. But also, like your body, your mind and emotions sometimes need help healing. The process of healing is natural but takes work.

Yes, starting therapy can be scary. But what’s even more frightening is staying stuck where you are. It takes courage to open up and tell your story to another and yourself. But once the process starts, you begin to uncover your true self.

The story you have felt trapped in starts to transform into the account of your true self. This transformation allows you to start where you are with kindness and courage. Let’s work together on your transformation.
