Every one of us has the potential to grow and change, even when life feels overwhelming or uncertain. Reaching out for therapy is a big step. Change can feel intimidating, and the process isn’t always straightforward. In therapy, you’ll discover practical tools, fresh perspectives, and supportive strategies to help you move through challenges and reconnect with your strengths.
My approach is integrative, drawing from cognitive and behavioral therapies, mindfulness practices, values-based work, and other evidence-informed frameworks. We focus on what’s already within you, including your resilience, insight, and capacity for healing. Along the way, I bring a mix of curiosity, compassion, and the occasional dose of humor to lighten the load.
A strong, caring therapeutic relationship is the foundation for healing. In our work together, we’ll build a space where you feel safe to reflect, take risks, and explore new ways of being. Step by step, I’ll offer guidance, structure, tools, and resources tailored to your unique needs and goals. Underpinning it all is a holistic perspective. One that honors the wellness of your mind, body, and spirit. All approaches are trauma-informed and grounded in a non-diet, weight-inclusive philosophy.
Clients often ask about my non-diet and weight-inclusive approach, especially in relation to emotional and physical health. I support people of all sizes in achieving greater well-being without focusing on weight loss as the primary goal. That said, it’s completely normal if you wish your body looked or felt different. Most of us have internalized messages from a culture that glorifies thinness and equates weight loss with worth or wellness. (Let’s be real. It’s exhausting.)
Wherever you are on your journey, we’ll start there. Together, we’ll move forward in a way that feels supportive, respectful, and aligned with what matters most to you.

Individual Therapy for Adults
Everyone can grow and change, even during hard times. Deciding to start therapy is a big step. Change can feel uncomfortable at first, and it may not happen all at once. In therapy, you learn new ways to handle problems, understand your feelings, and build on your strengths. My goal is to help you feel supported while you work toward the life you want.
Benefits of Individual Therapy
Individual therapy gives you a safe place to talk about your challenges and goals. You can learn skills to cope with stress, manage emotions, and improve relationships. It helps you become more confident and able to make healthy choices for yourself.

How Does It Work
Therapy works best when you feel safe and understood. In our sessions, I will listen carefully, ask questions to understand your experiences, and guide you toward solutions that fit your needs. We will focus on your overall well-being, including your mind, body, and emotions. All of my work is trauma-informed and respects people of all body shapes and sizes.

Our Approach to Adult Therapy
I use different methods depending on what works best for you. This can include talking about your thoughts and behaviors, practicing mindfulness, and exploring what matters most to you.

Individual therapy is when you meet one-on-one with a trained therapist. It is a private time for you to share your thoughts and feelings and to get help in working through your problems.
[/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”How does individual therapy differ from group therapy?” _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]
In individual therapy, all of the attention is on you and your needs. In group therapy, you meet with other people who have similar concerns. You can share and learn from each other, but you have less private time.
[/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”What should I expect during my first session?” _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]
Your first session is a chance for us to get to know each other. I will ask about your background and why you decided to try therapy. You can also ask me questions to see if you feel comfortable working with me.
[/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”How long does individual therapy typically last?” _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]
The length of therapy depends on your goals and situation. Some people find what they need in just a few sessions, while others continue for several months or longer. We will decide together what works best for you.
[/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Is individual therapy effective for treating mental disorders?” _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]
Yes. Research shows that individual therapy can help with many concerns, such as anxiety, depression, trauma, and stress. I use proven methods to give you the best chance for success.

If you want a safe and private space to talk about your feelings, deal with changes in your life, or grow as a person, therapy can help. We can set up a free consultation so you can see if this feels like the right step for you.
