Life is filled with many stages of development and milestones that shape our personalities. At some point, all of us experience life changes. These transitions can shake us up, throw us off guard, or leave us feeling stuck or unsure about our place in the world. Individual therapy focuses on gaining insight and resolving issues of commitment, loss of meaning, or repeated disappointment in relationships. These are often unconscious patterns that create presenting symptoms of anxiety and fears, low self-esteem, loneliness and depression, self-destructive behaviors, lack of goals, and difficulty in concentrating or feeling motivated. By bringing these complex patterns from your inner world into awareness, individual therapy can help reduce unwanted symptoms, alleviate distress, and encourage growth towards your fullest potential.

Teenagers & Emerging Adults
The struggle for maturity during Adolescence and Young Adulthood is difficult and sometimes painful. It is a time of self discovery and developing an awareness of your place in the world. It is also a time of grand and glorious dreams. Anyone who has been through adolescence and young adulthood may know, the social and emotional patterns established during these developmental periods profoundly impact overall wellbeing. The fight for independence, academic confusion, social, and family strains can create huge barriers for youth development. Individual Therapy can help young people to create a more clear sense of identity, stronger relationships, learn social skills, and develop an ability to think abstractly and consider the consequences of their actions.

Older Adults
We live in a youth-centric culture. This means- as a nation we often take for granted the many transitions that happen during later stages of development. Later life is also a time for deep personal growth and meaning making. For many clients, aging is a time of great change. Shifting responsibilities, retirement, career changes, decreased physical abilities, loss of community, and decreased sexual drive are all very much integrated into the lives of elders and profoundly impact a sense of identity. Individual Therapy can support you through care-giving issues or empower you to make the changes you wsh to see in your life.
