INDIVIDUAL THERAPY

We all want happiness, contentment and a general sense of satisfaction with ourselves and in our relationships. But life's challenges can often throw us off track. Therapy is an opportunity to more thoroughly understand the obstacles that get in our way. Successful therapy requires a good match between client and therapist. It also requires an understanding that therapy is a process that unfolds by virtue of commitment and courage to explore issues with openness and honesty. One of my primary goals is to create and maintain a therapy environment that is supportive and safe while also conducive to change and personal growth.

Clients often come to therapy with a wide variety of struggles:

• Strained relationships with partners or family
• Increased anxiety
• Significant depression
• Grief, loss, and other trauma issues
• Life stage struggles
• Diminished self-esteem
• Job-related stress

Change can be a difficult process. By working collaboratively in therapy, your goals will emerge and we can develop strategies and a plan of action. These steps may include:

• Increasing self-awareness or self-knowledge, including understanding your role in creating solutions.
• Learning to cope more effectively in difficult circumstances.
• Building close, positive relationships and healthy support systems.
