Individual Therapy

I provide 55-60 minute individual counseling sessions (in-person or telehealth), as often as needed, in order for you to meet your health and wellness goals. This may mean just a handful of sessions to work on a specific issue (where a more brief & solution focused approach will suffice) or a longer stretch of weekly or bi-weekly sessions (where a more long-term care plan is needed).

Regardless of your presenting issue, I typically recommend committing to regular weekly appointments at the very start of our work together. This allows us to get a feel, collaboratively, for what you’re needing/expecting with regards to your healing process – and how to then structure subsequent sessions accordingly. For long term, complex trauma issues; weekly sessions are strongly recommended – especially once the trauma reprocessing stage of treatment has begun. Please see my EMDR page on this website for more information regarding this type of treatment for complex trauma and other issues.

Individual therapy opens up the space for you to slow down and self-reflect in ways that are not consistently accessible in the day to day hustle of modern life. Together we explore ways of relating to yourself, and others, from a more grounded and centered place. This process sets the stage for you to be able to look more closely at ongoing challenges with fresh insight. Navigating challenges from a more steady place, combined with tapping into emotional resilience and other internal resources, lays the groundwork for true and lasting change. 

Treatment planning will be a collaborative process, and you will be an integral part of the planning from start to finish. Part of our initial consultation will involve examining what you’re hoping to get from your therapy, and how we can best work together in order to reach those goals.

Along the road to healing and recovery, there are often twists and turns! This is a normal part of the process. Sometimes people get their therapeutic needs met sooner than planned. This is something to be celebrated. Alternatively, once the process of healing and change is underway, it may be a good idea to increase sessions and/or utilize different treatment modalities. My approach is to hold the space for what may come and to be open and trusting of the therapeutic process. My role is to join you on your own unique journey of healing.
