Individual Therapy

Have you been negatively impacted by feelings of depression or anxiety? Are you your own worst critic?  

Anxiety can be rooted in life-long patterns and a need to protect yourself from possible repetition of these past emotional injuries. Military trauma, often experienced on top of childhood trauma, can lead to anger, anxiety, and feeling easily overwhelmed. Eco-anxiety and moral injury related to current events both contribute to anxiety and depressive symptoms. Working together, we can help you build inner resources to understand and heal from physical and emotional consequences of these sources of fear and pain.

It takes courage to look into the pain and fears that may be blocking you from grabbing life with both hands, but working through these, you can emerge with a stronger sense of trust in yourself. You can learn to set healthy boundaries, sort through and prioritize both short- and long-term goals confidently, and develop skills and practices to bring safety and harmony back into your life. By learning about boundaries and your personal needs, you can heal relationships that may seem forever broken. You can protect yourself from unhealthy relationships in the future.

Over our first few meetings, we will identify what you are seeking from therapy and your goals for counseling. For shorter term issues, we can use solution-focused brief therapy, offering action steps to move you in the direction of your goals. With historical issues and childhood trauma, we may work from an attachment theoretical background (inner child and self-compassion) first. For military or public service trauma, we will explore grief and pain often adding weight to symptoms of anger and anxiety. Imagine being supportive, encouraging – even loving – to yourself, instead of critical and judgmental.

Over the past 19 years I have helped clients who felt anxiety, depression, shame and self-doubt to find self empowerment and connect with their purpose in life. 

I am committed to helping clients feel not only safe, but individually respected. Join me in this nurturing space where you can share fears, hurt, concerns, hopes and dreams and then grow toward your own personal ideal.
