What will you do in individual therapy?

Pretty much whatever you need.

f you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, or anger difficulties, there’s therapy for unbalanced mood. In therapy sessions addressing mood imbalances, one can expect a safe and open space to explore and understand their emotions. I will help you identify triggers, develop coping strategies, and challenge negative thought patterns. Techniques such as cognitive behavioral therapy and relaxation exercises may be utilized to manage symptoms and promote emotional regulation. Progress may be gradual, with setbacks occurring along the way, but therapy provides ongoing support and guidance to navigate these challenges and promote healing and growth.

If you have had tragic or overwhelming things happen to you in your life, there’s therapy for trauma. In trauma processing sessions, I provide a safe and confidential space for clients to explore their past experiences, process difficult emotions, and learn coping strategies to manage symptoms related to trauma. You can expect a supportive and nonjudgmental atmosphere where I will work collaboratively with you to address your unique needs and goals. Therapy may include techniques such as mindfulness and somatic experiencing to help clients regulate their emotions and reduce distress. Over time, you can develop a deeper understanding of the impact of trauma on their lives and work towards healing and growth.

If you’re wanting to reduce perfectionism, practice healthier habits, and improve your confidence, there’s therapy for personal growth. In therapy sessions focused on your inner self, clients can expect to explore their thoughts and feelings. I will work collaboratively with the client to identify underlying beliefs contributing to self-esteem issues. Through various therapeutic techniques, such as radical acceptance, you will learn to challenge negative self-perceptions, build self-compassion, and set realistic goals. With lots of shadow work, you can cultivate a healthier sense of self-worth, develop more adaptive coping strategies, and ultimately strive for progress rather than unattainable perfection.

If you have had bad relationship after bad relationship, there’s therapy for relationship abuse. In therapy sessions for unhealthy relationships, you can expect a respectful and confidential environment where you can explore your experiences openly and honestly. We will address the dynamics of your abusive relationships, identify patterns of behavior, and develop strategies to establish boundaries and promote self-care. Sessions may involve processing traumatic events, challenging distorted beliefs, and learning healthy communication skills. It is common for therapists to provide psychoeducation on the cycle of abuse, power imbalances, and the impact of trauma. Therapy sessions for relationship abuse are focused on empowering you to make informed choices about your well-being and build a future free from abuse.

No matter what we do in the therapy session, know that you don’t have to carry the weight of your stress and struggles alone anymore. Contact me to share the burdens.
