Individual Therapy

“Everybody’s at war with different things… I’m at war with my own heart sometimes.”
– Tupac Shakur

Ideally, we can look in the mirror and recognize who we are…

… and what we’re about. But we don’t always live in that world.

No, at some point in life, we face personal conflicts that challenge our perception of ourselves.

Some people have ended a relationship, and it has caused them to rethink what they are after.

For others, their career success has been a big focus of their life, and then they wonder how much of a life outside of work they have missed.

Then, there are those who have been trying to ignore parts of themselves that they don’t care for and now can’t hide from them like they used to.

“Ideal” is hard to achieve… and even harder to maintain.

Ideally, you would have met the love of your life and enjoyed building a life together.

Ideally, your job satisfaction would have brought happiness to all corners of your life.

Ideally, you would feel secure about yourself at work, home, in social situations, or even by yourself.

Where these visions of “ideal” came from might be hard to say. Maybe they’ve come from what loved ones told you. Some come from outside sources like Instagram or your religious upbringing.

Wherever they came from, what you know is that you want something different for your life.

If things are going to change, you’re going to have to do something different.

Family and friends may be helpful at times, but now you need more than what they can offer.

You’ve read enough blogs and listened to enough podcasts, but they aren’t quite landing on what is going on.

Maybe you have been to therapy before, but it was like hitting a brick wall.

You may have even paid someone to be your “life coach,” but they could only reach the surface of a problem that you knew was deep down inside of you.

Therapy is where you can re-examine your “ideal” life.

We will work together to figure out what parts of your “ideal” aren’t working.

I will work with you to help your emotions have their place at the table.

We will build compassion that heals the hurt places in your life.

Together, we will examine why you have certain strong reactions to people and life situations and find a better way through them.

In all these ways, you will have experiences that will help you overcome and make sense of how you got where you are and give you a better sense of where to go.

You deserve to have peace, not war, within your heart.

Therapy will give you a healthier, more loving perception of yourself.

Your relationships will become more meaningful.

And you’ll be able to engage with the world confidently without needing to meet anyone else’s “ideal.”
