Individual counseling is one of the bravest journeys a person can take. I typically use a lens of attachment science to assist clients in processing their stories and life themes that they bring into the counseling room, meaning I delve into their childhood attachments and upbringings as well as the family roles and rules from their families of origin. This process can be very clarifying for clients struggling to understand why they find themselves in repeated patterns of behavior, life choices, relationships, and more– or even clients who struggle to feel like they truly know themselves at all. I also use techniques drawn from somatics (how our bodies express emotional distress with physical symptoms) and what the therapy world calls parts language (e.g. “a part of me feels ___ but another part of me feels the opposite and it’s distressing”).
I also offer individual counseling for those who are in couples or family counseling and looking to supplement their healing work with individual sessions.
My age range is typically around age 13+* but if I am not able to take on your child, I offer referrals for other therapists in the area who provide therapy for minors.
*Please note that if a prospective minor client has divorced parents, before scheduling I am required by law to obtain signed consent from both parents if legal custody is split. I also require documentation of the divorce decree and custody arrangement to be on file for my records.
