Individual Counseling for teens and adults at your pace
I offer one-to-one counseling for people ages 14 and up who want a steady place to talk things through. You do not need a polished story before you begin.
What people bring me
People often come in feeling overloaded, stuck, or worn down by what they are carrying alone. It may be hard to sort out what is bothering them most, let alone say it out loud. Some want a place to talk about anxiety, low mood, self-doubt, trauma, relationships, or a hard change. Others just know they do not feel like themselves lately. They are often looking for somewhere private and steady to slow things down.
- I keep holding everything together and I am exhausted.
- I do not know where to start, but I know I need help.
- I second-guess myself over everything I say.
- I feel stuck and I cannot shake it.
We start with what feels most important, not with a script.
How I work with it
I keep the work grounded in safety, stabilization, and regulation so the conversation does not run ahead of what you can manage. We move at a pace that lets you notice what is happening in the moment and what support feels useful. For some people, that means focusing on emotions and patterns; for others, it means paying close attention to relationships, stress, or old experiences that are still getting in the way. I tailor the work to the person in front of me rather than forcing one path.
- Client-Centered Therapy
- This gives you room to speak openly and be met without judgment. For individual work, it is a collaborative conversation that stays focused on what matters to you.
- EMDR
- I may use EMDR when trauma-related concerns are part of what you are carrying. In individual sessions, I bring it in only when it fits the work we are doing.
- CPT
- I may use CPT when trauma-related thoughts and meanings are part of the struggle. In one-to-one work, it helps us look at how past events still shape what feels true now.
What the first sessions look like
The first sessions are about getting a feel for what is bringing you in and what you want more room for. I will ask questions about what has been hard lately, and you do not have to have it all organized before we talk.
Questions people ask
What is individual counseling like with you?
It is a one-to-one conversation where we focus on what is affecting you most right now. I keep the pace steady and we decide together what feels worth talking about first.
Do I need to know exactly what to say before I come in?
No. You can start with a few words, a feeling, or a situation that has been hard to carry.
Can this help if I just feel stuck and overwhelmed?
That is a common reason people reach out. We can begin by naming what feels heaviest and making room for it in a steady way.
Is this only for one specific problem?
No. People come in for anxiety, self-esteem, trauma, relationships, divorce, and hard changes. The work follows what is most important to you.
