Individual Therapy
Our work in individual therapy is a dedicated space to face what feels important, confusing, or stuck. It is not about quick fixes; it is about looking at patterns, relationships, and histories with honesty and care. We will make sense of what you are navigating, from trauma and anxiety to life transitions and identity shifts, at a pace that feels doable.
Who it is for: Adults across the lifespan who feel stuck in patterns they did not choose. Much of my individual work centers on trauma and complex trauma, including childhood abuse, sexual violence, domestic violence, medical trauma, and attachment wounds. I also work with people navigating identity and belonging, including LGBTQ+ identity and coming out at any age, and the push-and-pull of bicultural, immigrant, and first- and second-generation life. Reproductive and hormonal experiences are a large part of this work: fertility, infertility, pregnancy loss, postpartum adjustment, PMDD, PCOS, perimenopause, and menopause, including choosing to be childfree. So is recovery from coercive control and high-control relationships, families, or groups, and life with chronic illness and chronic pain. If you are moving through grief or another major turning point, working on boundaries, or trying to find your voice, there is room for that here too.
How we will work: The work is psychodynamic and relational. We pay attention to the patterns you are living inside, where they were learned, and how they show up now, including between us in the room. We go at a pace that feels doable, with room for nuance, complexity, and humor when it helps. My training in trauma therapy, narrative work, and somatic approaches informs how I listen and what I might suggest; the method itself is the relationship, and the understanding we build in it. The aim is awareness that becomes choice: seeing your experience clearly enough to decide how you want to live in it.
