Individual Therapy

Is this you? Below are themes that often show up in clients I work with.

  • When faith environments involve fear, control, or conditional belonging, the impact can linger long after belief changes. Religious trauma and deconstruction often touch identity, trust, relationships, sexuality and your sense of meaning. This may also include high-control political groups.

  • Specializing in athletes, ex-athletes, or high-achievers healing from rigid food and exercise rules. Explore a more respectful relationship with your body. May include collaboration with your PCP and/or nutritionist.

  • You may have grown up being the responsible one or emotional caretaker. You learned to anticipate needs, manage tension, and stay composed, even when it cost you. Those early patterns often continue influencing adult relationships in sneaky ways.

  • Never feel fully at ease? When you’ve been through a lot, your nervous system learns to stay on guard. We can work to understand how the past still shows up, and gently build more safety, choice, and joy in your life.

  • Is this you?

    “Why do I shut down in relationships?”

    “Why do I keep choosing the unavailable person?”

    “Why does conflict feel so unsafe?”

    What you’re feeling is real! How you learned to connect, protect yourself, and rely on others didn’t happen by accident. Attachment patterns shape how close you let people get, how you handle conflict, and what feels safe in relationships.

  • If your mind won’t slow down and you’re always bracing for what’s next, you’re not broken… Your system is working overtime. Anxiety often shows up as hypervigilance, looping thoughts, or a constant sense of urgency that’s hard to turn off. Exhausting? Yup.

Many people come to individual therapy because something isn’t working.

  • Maybe you’re in middle-age and wonder why you still can’t enjoy food on a date night without overthinking it.

  • Maybe you grew up in a high-control religious or political environment, and you’re sure it’s showing up in your romantic relationships.

Often the goal isn’t simply to “fix” a problem, but to better understand what’s driving it and create room for new ways of responding. We will spend time understanding past experiences that shaped you, and take time to build a new home within yourself that feels more comfy and safe.

My practice is affirming of LGBTQ+ clients, and I welcome individuals in ethically non-monogamous (ENM) relationships and other relationship structures.
