Individual Therapy

Most issues that affect individuals also affect their relationships, or lack thereof, and my specialty in relationships has proven effective in helping individuals experience wellbeing. Some people come in and know what they want to work on, and others know they want a change and need help discovering what to focus on.

I specialize in working with individuals …

wanting to start a successful, committed relationship but who find it hard to stay when the going gets rough
who know their relationship needs work but whose partners are not ready or willing to come in
who are in couples therapy and need to work separately on their individual issues that arise
after separation or divorce who don't want to re-create the same pattern
who care about others too much
who need to clarify and then communicate what they want and expect from others
who need to evaluate and then upgrade coping strategies that get in the way of creating and sustaining connection with others

Life issues I treat include:

Being Single, Dating, New Relationship, Divorce Recovery, Grief, Anxiety, Depression, Loneliness, Boundaries, Facing Difficult Decisions, Low Self-Esteem, Communication, Family of Origin, Co-Dependency, Self-Defeating Patterns, Work Stress, Life Transitions, Personal Growth, Professionals Needing Support, Addiction, Living Sober, 12-Step, Substance Abuse Recovery.

Treating Anxiety and Depression

Some people experience either anxiety or depression, and many others vacillate between both. Learning to manage the symptoms with lifestyle changes while working with me to uncover your underlying beliefs and assumptions that perpetuate suffering can help you create change. Talk therapy can also be useful for those on medication.

You don’t have to do it alone…it is important for every one of us to know when and how to take the courageous first step and ask for help.

Securing your future well-being is worth professional assistance.
