Individual Therapy
A compassionate space to explore your identity, navigate life transitions, and reconnect with your past in meaningful ways.
Connecting Dots of Lived Experiences
In our sessions, we’ll focus on what brings you to therapy, and will explore hidden strengths, skills, and dreams you might not even realize you have. We’ll examine your beliefs—what you say, what you don’t say, and how you act—to help you find your meaningful place in the world around you. Ultimately, we’ll work together to figure out who you want to be, what you want to do, and how to make that happen.
My Approach with Individuals
In individual therapy, I work to understand your unique challenges in depth, exploring their complexities and how they affect you personally and socially. We examine how the issue may have appeared in your past and identify moments where it has had less power. Together, we create new ways of approaching life beyond the problem, guiding you toward more fulfilling possibilities.
Answering your Questions
How long is a session?
Individual sessions are typically 45-50 minutes. We can plan for additional time, as needed, to ensure our conversation ends at a good point to place a bookmark.
How often should sessions be scheduled?
I prefer to meet with new clients on a weekly basis for at least 1-2 months. I find the regular time together to be important as we get to know one another. Nevertheless, we can assess frequency on a regular basis.
How does therapy end? Will I know when I’m ready?
Good therapy can happen in a single session, and over years. Each therapy is different in that way. We will discuss your progress towards meeting goals as we go.
Endings can be difficult, regardless. Our ending will be a joint decision, in which we go our separate paths. Those paths may end up converging again, should you want a future session or therapy.
Can I meet with you for both individual and couples or family therapy?
There may be good reason to meet in both individual therapy and couples or family therapy. There is also good reason to not meet with the same provider for both.
Every situation deserves consideration, and I’d be happy to discuss the pros and cons with you and yours. Of note, there could be times in couples or family therapy where you or I request to meet individually for a session.
In such a case, doing so will be in the service of the couples or family therapy, and we will discuss how and what to bring from our conversation back into the couples or family therapy.
