Why Individual Therapy
Working collaboratively with an experienced therapist offers you the opportunity to develop insight into self limiting patterns and gain concrete skills to foster greater well-being. My aim as your therapist is to meet you where you are, get a sense of what you are hoping to accomplish in therapy, and provide a thoughtful space where we can work together to get you there. Some people come to therapy with the intention of addressing unresolved issues, while others hope to make major life shifts. Whether your goals are short term or more intensive, therapy is a space where you can be honest and share what is true for you, without the fear of reprisal or hurting someone you love.
