Individual Counseling Tailored to You
Our one-on-one therapy is designed to help you understand yourself better, manage emotional struggles, and take meaningful steps toward the life you want. We create a non-judgmental space where you can work through challenges such as:
Anxiety, stress, or panic that feels constant or overwhelming.
Depressive episodes – persistent sadness, lack of motivation, or feeling numb and disconnected.
Burnout from work, caregiving, or other life responsibilities that leave you exhausted.
Identity questions and struggles with self-esteem or finding your life’s purpose.
Past traumas or painful experiences that continue to affect you in the present.
With a collaborative and empowering approach, we help you tap into your inner strength and move forward with confidence. Our counselors often draw on proven methods like cognitive-behavioral techniques, mindfulness, and trauma-informed care (including EMDR for trauma) to tailor the experience to your needs.

Common Issues Addressed in Counseling
We frequently help clients navigate a wide range of challenges:
Depression
Depression can leave you feeling hopeless, fatigued, and withdrawn from the things you once enjoyed. In therapy, we gently explore the root causes of your depression and help you build coping strategies and healthier thought patterns. Over time, you can regain motivation, find moments of joy again, and rediscover a sense of purpose.
Anxiety
Anxiety might show up as constant worry, racing thoughts, physical tension, or even panic attacks that strike out of the blue. Through counseling, you’ll learn practical tools to manage anxiety and stress. We’ll identify triggers, practice relaxation and grounding techniques, and work to reduce the hold anxiety has on your daily life. You can experience more calm and control as you develop skills to cope with whatever comes your way.
Trauma and PTSD
Traumatic experiences from the past can cast a long shadow, leading to nightmares, flashbacks, or feeling on-edge. We offer specialized trauma therapy, including approaches like EMDR therapy, to help you process and heal from those experiences. In our work together, you’ll find a safe, supportive environment to gently face painful memories. Many clients see significant relief from PTSD symptoms as they work through trauma and move toward healing.
Self-Esteem Issues
Struggling with low self-esteem or constant self-criticism? Therapy can help you break negative self-perceptions and build a healthier self-image. We’ll help you challenge those harsh inner voices and recognize your strengths. Over time, you can develop genuine self-confidence, setting healthier boundaries and pursuing your goals with greater assurance.
Grief and Loss
Losing someone or something important (a loved one, a relationship, even a career) can be devastating. Everyone grieves in their own way and time. In counseling, you have a compassionate space to express your feelings openly—sadness, anger, confusion, all of it. We’ll support you through the stages of grief and help you find ways to honor your loss while also slowly rebuilding hope and meaning in your life. You don’t have to go through it alone.
Life Transitions
Major life changes (moving to a new city, becoming a parent, switching careers, retirement, etc.) can stir up stress and uncertainty. Even positive changes can feel overwhelming. Therapy can be your sounding board and guide during these transitions. We’ll work on coping skills and new perspectives so you can adapt and thrive. By building resilience, you’ll feel more confident navigating whatever life throws at you next.
