Individual Therapy

When I transitioned my clinical practice online in 2020, one belief remained at the heart of my work: successful therapy begins with a strong therapeutic relationship.

Connection, collaboration, empathy, and mutual respect form the foundation of my work with each client.

I integrate traditional talk therapy with mindfulness, cognitive behavioral therapy, and trauma-informed care, tailoring my approach to each person's individual needs, experiences, and goals.

People seek therapy for many different reasons.

I support clients to:

  • boost self-esteem, coping strategies, and emotional boundaries

  • alleviate symptoms of depressed mood and anxious overthinking

  • manage anger and stress

  • recognize how differing communication styles impact intimacy and interpersonal dynamics

  • understand the impact of the past on present, and beyond

  • engage life’s myriad of blindsides, uncertainties, and changes

FAQs

  • Convenience, comfort, and consistency are companions when it comes to teletherapy. Traffic jams, inclement weather, or matters that may render one homebound are no longer obstacles to treatment. Of utmost importance, I notice people are likely to engage in meaningful therapeutic process when in surroundings of their choosing.

    I meet with clients on an easy to navigate, HIPAA compliant teletherapy platform. All that’s needed is an iOS or Android-enabled device and internet connection.

  • Traditional talk therapy, aka, psychotherapy, is a process by which a person talks thru their thoughts, feelings, and circumstances with a trained mental health professional.

    I provide a supportive, non-judgmental space for individuals to hear and trust their own voice, discover effective ways to relate to others, and cultivate compassionate self-acceptance and personal emotional growth.

  • Mindfulness is a calm and patient mental state achieved by bringing one’s attention and awareness to the present moment.

    I assist people in the practice of mindful living, and the incorporation of mindfully based stress reduction methods such as body scanning into everyday situations.

  • Cognitive behavioral theory suggests one’s thoughts, emotions, bodily sensations, and behaviors are interrelated, acknowledging the mind/body connection.

    Incorporating cognitive behavioral techniques and exercises into therapy sessions, I support clients to:

    • recognize and rework negative/unhelpful thought patterns

    • set and meet realistic intentions

    • practice constructive self-talk

    • restructure cognitive distortions such as overthinking and catastrophizing

  • Teletherapy sessions are covered under most behavioral/mental health insurance plans.

  • Trauma-informed therapy looks at how past experiences may still be affecting the way a person feels, reacts, copes, and relates to others today.

    It helps make sense of those patterns without defining a person by what happened, and focuses on building greater understanding, choice, and emotional stability.
