‍Individual Counseling

Sometimes you need a place where you do not have to be the strong one, the problem solver, the caregiver, or the person who has everything together.

Individual therapy gives you space to talk about what is really happening and work through it without feeling like you have to explain, minimize, or apologize for how you feel.

We may work on anxiety, depression, stress, relationships, boundaries, grief, burnout, self-worth, trauma, or simply figuring out what you need in this season of your life.

You do not need to have the perfect words before you come in. We can start with what you know.

EMDR Therapy

Sometimes you understand what happened. You have talked about it, thought about it, and maybe even told yourself that you should be over it by now. But your mind and body may still respond as though part of the experience is happening in the present.

I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), an evidence-based psychotherapy approach that can help the brain process distressing memories and experiences.

EMDR is not about forgetting what happened. The goal is to help what happened become something you remember without it continuing to have the same emotional hold on your present.

EMDR may be incorporated into therapy when it fits your needs, goals, and readiness. We will talk about the process together before beginning EMDR work.

Anxiety, Stress & Overthinking

Sometimes your mind simply will not turn off. You replay conversations, think about everything that could go wrong, question decisions you have already made, or feel like you always need to be prepared for what might happen next.

Anxiety can also show up physically through tension, difficulty sleeping, irritability, panic, restlessness, or feeling constantly on edge.

Therapy can help us understand what is driving the anxiety while developing practical ways to respond differently when it shows up.

Trauma and PTSD Counseling

Trauma does not always stay in the past just because the experience is over. It can show up in relationships, anxiety, anger, avoidance, sleep, trust, self-worth, or the way you respond when something reminds you of what happened.

Trauma therapy is not about pushing you to tell your entire story before you are ready. We will work at a pace that allows us to understand what you have experienced while also building the tools you need to manage what comes up along the way.

Depending on your needs, trauma treatment may include EMDR along with Person-Centered Therapy, CBT, mindfulness, grounding, and other approaches.

Life Transitions

Sometimes the hardest part of change is not what happened. It is figuring out who you are afterward.

Career changes, relationships ending or beginning, relocation, caregiving, health changes, family responsibilities, grief, retirement, and other major transitions can change how you see yourself and what you thought life was supposed to look like.

Therapy can give you room to process what changed while figuring out what you want this next part of your life to look like.

Burnout & Being the Strong One

You can be functioning and still be exhausted.

You may be getting things done, showing up for work, taking care of people, answering the phone, and handling responsibilities while quietly wondering how much longer you can keep doing everything this way.

Therapy can help you look at what you are carrying, where your boundaries may need to change, what you actually need, and how to begin making room for yourself again.
