How Individual Psychotherapy Can Help

It’s not your fault that you struggle with anxiety, relationship issues, or feeling stuck. These patterns took years to form and will take time and care to change. Through our work together, we will make your struggles more bearable, helping you overcome chronic anxiety, self-criticism, social challenges, and more.

At the heart of your challenges are coping mechanisms that once protected you in childhood, but now may hinder your growth. As a psychotherapist specializing in individual therapy, I will help you understand these patterns, and teach you how to develop self-acceptance using healthy strategies.

You deserve a meaningful life with improved relationships and fewer inner challenges. Together, we can work towards making that a reality through compassionate and supportive therapy.
