Whether you’re going off to college or starting a career straight out of high school, being on your own for the first time is both exciting and challenging. At a time in life when the possibilities seem endless, the options—and responsibilities—can feel overwhelming. If your ways of managing stress and navigating relationships aren’t working, you may benefit from individual therapy that supports you in finding yourself and refocusing your attention and energy.

Working one-on-one, we help you identify patterns of relating and coping that you would like to change, determine what interests and motivates you, and pinpoint what values guide you so you can take the next steps toward your future.

Somewhere past age 40, people often stop thinking about who they were told they should be and start questioning who they really are. Women in particular have often spent years caring for and prioritizing others and suddenly discover a desire to focus on themselves. This might happen naturally or come as a result of any number of changes that frequently occur during this time, such as a new job, a divorce, caretaking of elderly parents, the loss of a loved one, children leaving home, or menopause. Perhaps the uncertainty has left you feeling anxious or unsatisfied, or maybe you fear facing the trauma of your past, removing the mask of perfectionism, and stopping the hustle for acceptance.

Through therapy, we can help you notice patterned ways of coping and untangle messages from your past so you can embrace and nurture your amazing and imperfect self and build the future you want.
