Individual therapy is your safe space to explore thoughts, emotions, and behaviors with compassionate support. Whether you're navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, or life transitions, our work together is about more than symptom relief—it's about breaking free from unhelpful patterns and reconnecting with your most authentic self.
What We Can Work On Together:
Healing from Trauma & Emotional Wounds – Processing past experiences using evidence-based trauma therapies like EMDR, Trauma-Informed CBT, and DBT.
Managing Anxiety & Overwhelm – Developing emotional regulation tools, mindfulness practices, and grounding techniques to reduce stress.
Breaking Cycles of Depression & Burnout – Identifying core beliefs that keep you stuck, while building resilience and self-compassion.
Life Transitions & Self-Discovery – Navigating career shifts, relationships, identity exploration, or personal reinvention with clarity and confidence.
Improving Communication & Boundaries – Strengthening assertiveness, conflict resolution, and interpersonal skills for healthier connections.
Attachment & Relationship Patterns – Exploring how early experiences shape your relationships today and learning to create secure, fulfilling connections.
Evidence-Based, Holistic & Personalized
My approach is not one-size-fits-all. I blend science-backed therapies with a holistic perspective, allowing us to track progress while adapting to your evolving needs. Below are few of the many modalities I draw from:
Trauma-Informed Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) – Identifying and reframing unhelpful thoughts that keep you stuck.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) – Practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and mindfulness.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) – Processing trauma and emotional blocks at a deep level.
Person-Centered & Strength-Based Therapy – Empowering you to embrace your resilience and inner wisdom.
Mindfulness & Somatic Awareness (incorporated based on your interest).
Beyond Sessions: Tools for Real-World Change
Therapy isn't just about what happens in session—it’s about how it impacts your daily life. Reflections, homework, and tasks may be given between sessions to help you apply insights, build habits, and create lasting change.
