Individual Therapy

You don’t have to deal with the struggles and strife of life alone

There are times in our lives when we need some help.

Perhaps you are experiencing difficulties such as job loss, relationship conflict or breakup, or loss of a loved one. Or, you may be struggling to adjust to life during and after the pandemic. These kinds of stressful experiences can feel overwhelming.

Sometimes, however, the problem you are experiencing is not new. You may have felt stressed, anxious, or depressed for a long time and haven’t been able to find your way out. Regardless of whether you are in crisis or dealing with a persistent concern, you're here because you are ready to feel better. I can help you with that.

It's likely that you've tried everything you can think of to feel better:

  • You may have spoken to your friends and family
  • Perhaps you've read all the self-help books
  • You may have attempted to comfort yourself with food or alcohol
  • You could spend hours on social media, or binge-watching television

Still, your distress remains.

It's time to seek professional help. Individual therapy gives you space and guidance to break old habits and live your best life.

Individual Therapy Can Help you Feel Better About Yourself and Your Life

You are already worthy

Some people are their own worst critics; they would never say to others what they say to themselves.

When things go wrong, these people blame themselves, taking on the weight of the world. When you feel this way long enough, it can lead to depression, anxiety, strained relationships, and sitting in constant, harsh judgment of yourself.

Underneath it all, you may feel inadequate and that can contaminate your life in large and small ways.

Therapy can help you feel better about yourself, have better relationships, and feel more confident.

You have more power than you think

Sometimes we find ourselves in difficult circumstances and we feel powerless to change things.

This might be a troublesome relationship, a frustrating job, or a controlling family dynamic. Add to this a global pandemic and it's no surprise that you feel trapped, stressed, and hopeless.

It doesn’t have to be this way.

You have more power to change your life than you think.

Therapy can help you become more capable and effective at handling difficult people and complicated situations, making it possible to live life on your own terms.

A loving relationship is possible

Sometimes it can feel impossible to find someone to love.

You may find yourself running into the same frustrations over and over again. Maybe you find yourself entering into relationships with someone who isn't emotionally available or with whom you are constantly arguing. Perhaps you have recently experienced a breakup or divorce and want help picking up the pieces.

As a relationship expert, I can help you regain confidence in yourself and find someone to love.

10 reasons to consider Individual therapy:

  1. You feel unhappy with yourself or your life, and wonder how you can break the cycle of depression.
  2. You find life very stressful and you need help managing your anxiety.
  3. You struggle to accomplish your goals and worry that you won't be able to achieve your dreams.
  4. You find your job overwhelming and need help managing the stress.
  5. You are going through a divorce, a breakup, or the loss of a loved one and want help picking up the pieces.
  6. There is too much conflict or distance in your relationship, and you want to learn how to improve communication.
  7. You are having trouble finding love and are worried that you won’t find someone to build a life with.
  8. After 2 years of social distancing, you feel disconnected and lonely.
  9. The pandemic has already been very difficult and now you are worried about whether and how life will get back to normal.
  10. You want to find a way to experience the fullest, happiest life possible.
