Individual Counseling

You may or may not have heard of Individual Counseling before. It is also referred to as “Psychotherapy” or “Talk Therapy.” In Individual Counseling we use conversation as the tool to alleviate mental and emotional suffering and overcome personal difficulties or challenges. Some of us already have individuals in our life that we can talk to and confide in times of need; however, therapists are trained professionally to cue in to your experience and are equipped with tools to help.

I use my ability to be objective and judgement free to hear your personal story and identify the underlying characteristics that will eventually allow change to happen. I will ask you questions that will help you explore and investigate your own beliefs and behaviors to help you get to the root cause of many personal topics such as: anxiety, depression, anger, mood swings, career and school challenges, relationship issues, jealousy, grief, self-esteem, parenting, chronic pain, illness, childhood trauma and more.

With my help, and being active in your therapy journey you can: work through challenging experiences; identify aspects of your life you would like to change; better understand yourself and others; set personal goals and work through them. Most of all, sometimes we just need someone to listen to us; I mean TRULY LISTEN… without distractions, without judgement.

My goal working with you in therapy is to use a combination of evidence-based techniques (evidence based meaning they have been subject to research studies and clinical observations and have been analyzed for effectiveness) to help you heal and grow. Often times I combine various activities and exercises for us to use in session AND for you to use on your own at home and throughout your life.

A wise person once told me that “there is no power in despair,” and that is why my intention is to help you learn yourself; acquire the tools to build on the strengths you already have; and EMPOWER you to seek and TRUST the motivation and guidance from within you to thrive in your Life!
