Individual Therapy

Work through anxiety and shame while building confidence, clarity, and stronger relationships.

Many of my clients come to individual therapy feeling stuck in cycles of self-criticism, anxiety, or disconnection. They describe a restless mind, a body that never feels settled, and an inner critic that says they’ll never be enough. Others share regret, perfectionism, or relationship struggles that leave them feeling isolated or unfulfilled.

Therapy offers a supportive space to slow down, make sense of what you’re carrying, and begin moving toward a steadier, more connected life.

How I Work in Individual Therapy

My approach is evidence-based, culturally sensitive, and trauma-informed. I draw from several proven therapies to match your needs:

  • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps you notice and unhook from unhelpful thoughts, quiet the critic, and realign your life with your values.

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) provides practical tools to shift negative thought patterns, manage anxiety, and change the behaviors that keep you stuck.

  • Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) explores how shame and disconnection affect your relationships, helping you develop healthier ways of connecting with yourself and others.

Together, we will:

  • Learn strategies to calm anxiety in both mind and body

  • Build confidence that isn’t tied only to performance or perfectionism

  • Work through shame and self-doubt with compassion

  • Explore cultural and family influences that shape how you see yourself

  • Strengthen your ability to connect and communicate in relationships

Why People Choose Individual Therapy

Individual therapy is for you if you’ve been:

  • Feeling overwhelmed by anxiety or racing thoughts

  • Struggling with self-doubt, shame, or regret

  • Wanting relief from stress but finding that nothing seems to stick

  • Longing for more meaningful, authentic relationships

  • Carrying family or cultural expectations that leave you feeling pulled in different directions

Therapy doesn’t erase life’s challenges, but it gives you the tools and support to face them differently. Over time, you’ll learn to quiet the inner critic, ease your body’s tension, and move through life with more clarity and connection.
