Individual Therapy

There’s so much weighing you down.

You’ve been feeling trapped by your family patterns, culture, past traumas, and choices you made when you were younger that seem inescapable now.

Depression, anxiety, and stress have been causing you to shut down. It’s easy to forget life doesn’t have to be this way.

You’re hyper-independent, and it’s not working.

You don’t want to burden your friends or trauma dump, so you’ve been trying to handle everything alone. However, you need help healing, not just handling.

You need someone in your corner who will sit with you through all the messy exploration and gently challenge you as needed. That’s where I come in.

I see therapy as a nonlinear process of witnessing, excavation, discovery, and transformation.

This space is for you to tell your story.

This is the place to share everything. Everything. Your fears, fantasies, shaming voices, brilliant ideas, big dreams. The experiences that seem too painful to say out loud.

This is the place where all of you is welcome. Especially those of you who have been excluded, invisibilized, invalidated elsewhere because of sexuality, gender, race, ability, body size, neurotype.

This is the place to tell your whole story. I am here for it.

Your past is in your present.

We will get at the roots of your present-day experience. What are you truly feeling? Where did this wound come from?

How has this coping mechanism served you? What is your body telling you?

What social contexts are traumatizing or disabling you? What lies beneath this thought, feeling, choice, behavior, or impulse?

Where did your patterns start – with parents, grandparents, culture?

What we will discover together.

We will imagine how change is possible: the “outlaw rebel vision.”

What are your wants, needs, visions, desires? How can you interrupt your patterns and put something new in place?

Where is your place in community and society? Where are you welcomed, respected, and heard? What do you need to unlearn to reclaim your full identity?

Do you still want to be in this relationship, have this job, spend time with these friends? Can you trust yourself, even when you feel sad, self-destructive, or angry?

Envision your transformation.

In our work, we will create a context for transformation in your life.

You’ll know how to set and maintain boundaries and how to spend your time in ways that nourish rather than drain you.

You’ll have mutual, close relationships and step away from relationships that hurt you. You’ll no longer be afraid to love or be loved.

Let’s find your inner compass.

Your past doesn’t have to define your future. You can create a more liberated life.

Live according to your values, fight the good fight, and dream the future you want so that you can move toward your visions.
