Individual Therapy
Our experiences in modern life, with its fast paced, productivity/accomplishment driven demands, can leave us feeling exhausted or overwhelmed and not knowing why. We may not have had the time to slow down, or enough support to process or integrate our experiences. We may have been taught to keep moving or stuff our feelings down so that we could continue to achieve.
In the quiet moments—before bed, when we are alone, we are revisited by a previous conversation, the voice that tells us we are not enough, or that we don’t belong, or reminds us that all the check boxes have not been checked, and we start to experience the grief and pain of the losses we experienced that day. Eventually we turn on the tv or start to doom scroll to numb out and maybe, if we are lucky, fall asleep.

We may think there is something wrong with us, but really there is a much bigger story in which we exist that can be hard to see and remember, without the reflection of another kind, compassionate human to reflect our goodness, and our okay-ness, our unbrokenness.
Individual therapy can help us to increase our ability to address these and other uncomfortable thoughts and feelings and to recognize the larger context in which we exist.
This practice offers individual therapy that in addition to talk therapy, supports mindfulness and body awareness practices that help deepen your insight and integrate difficult emotions.
