Individual Therapy

       Typically, our aim is to first decrease your generalized anxiety and depression, then initiate a deeper dive into your past, where we can work together to uncover the deeper parts of yourself and lovingly integrate them into the present. After a healing integration, I will support you in establishing intentions for a sustainable and ethical future. Meaning - we start where you are, understand where you've been, and envision a future.

​

       Individuals often face unique paths to sustainability and wellness. The experience of feeling different in a conformist society can create stressors at both young and adult ages that disintegrate a sense of self. From childhood, this experience can originate in the home upon the realization of differences, and can be influenced by a variety of responses from caregivers and the community around them. This can wound attachment style and create a fragmented sense of self. Upon entering adulthood, this fragmentation can lead to a sense of emotional void that needs to be filled, higher levels of anxiety, a tendency towards depression, or the use of alcohol and substances at a harmful rate.

​

       Many people go on a journey, uprooting from what once was home to seek meaning and community elsewhere. For those who come to realizations about their identity later in life, there might be a feeling of needing to make up for lost time, which can cause feelings of grief and isolation. Additionally, the lack of role models of all ages can contribute to a fear of aging, given the scarcity of examples of healthy lifestyles and relationships. Without these examples, people may tend to experiment with extremes while in search of a sustainable middle ground. No matter what, our practice is sex, kink, and substance-safe, meaning it is safe for you to bring your full self to session.

These feelings and archetypes may resonate, partially resonate, or not at all. We all come to therapy with a multitude of unique experiences. Regardless of your background and your goals, we will bring a caring, realistic, and thoughtful approach in empowering you to take the next step.
