Individual Counseling Services

Individual counseling is a sanctuary—a safe, welcoming space where you can slow down, feel deeply heard, and reconnect with yourself. Whether you're navigating life's twists and turns or seeking a sense of healing and clarity, this journey doesn't have to be one you walk alone. Together, we’ll gently explore the thoughts and feelings resting on your heart and mind, always at your pace—no pressure, just unconditional support.  Here, growth is nurtured, healing takes root, and transformation unfolds. It's a space where you can feel free to be exactly who you are, as you are, while working toward the version of yourself you aspire to be.

Approaches

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) – It’s a structured, goal-oriented type of talk therapy where I would help you learn how to analyze your thoughts and emotions, so you can see how they affect your actions. Through CBT, you can develop new coping skills and learn new thinking patterns and habits. Learn more about this approach here.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) – It’s a type of talk therapy for those who experience emotions intensely and struggle to regulate their emotions. It focuses on helping you accept the reality of your life and your behaviors, while also helping you learn how to make changes in your own life, including unhelpful behaviors. Learn more about this approach here.

Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT) – It’s a short-term goal-oriented type of talk therapy that helps you change by creating solutions rather than focusing on problems.  It focuses on the present and exploring your desires for the future to help you find practical solutions to your current problems.  Learn more about this approach here.

Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) - It’s a type of talk therapy that integrates cognitive therapy with mindfulness practices to help you be present in the moment rather than in your negative thought patterns that affect your mood. Learn more about this approach here.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) – It’s a short and structured approach that focuses on identifying thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that are contributing to the symptoms of insomnia.  Learn more about this approach here.
