Individual Therapy for Adults

Life has gotten too complicated.

You have reached your breaking point. Things, in general, are bad, and you need professional help.

Being overwhelmed with distress makes you realize that life cannot continue the way it has been going.

Maintaining the current course will grind you down to nothing.

Pain comes in many forms. Internally we hurt, naming it grief, anger, or despair; externally, we hurt, suffering from isolation, conflict, or shame. Sometimes, we cannot name it, but we know we hurt and need it to stop.

Overcome those peaks of despair through therapy.

Whatever the circumstances of your journey, you have arrived at a place of healing. Therapy helps those who are ready for help.

The typical flow of therapy is much like a hike through a mountain range. We will join forces on the path and take in the view. In that place, we will notice the mountains around us and name them – the peak of dead-end career frustration, marital conflict, loneliness, disbelief, or pretending to be someone we are not.

Then, we will focus on determining a path to our target destination – positive mountain peaks of healing and wellness. On these peaks, we will establish a basecamp, find our equipment, and learn the skills to m our climb.

The climb is steep in places.

Sometimes, the paths are easygoing, allowing us to traverse far and easily. At other times, the way can seem impassably steep and full of barriers and obstacles, causing our travel to grind to a crawl. When we cease to make progress, we will double back and examine the path before continuing forward.

Falling backward down a trail requires us to pick ourselves back up and reassess the scene before venturing forward again.

With time, patience, and endurance, we summit the peak and celebrate the reward of having a new view and sight.

We have made it to our destination.

Like mountain climbing, adulthood has many challenges.

The challenges encountered in adulthood are myriad, and there is no guidebook or instruction manual to the unique experiences encountered over the decades of life.

No one mountain range will ever be identical to another. Everyone experiences different mountains and unique challenges as they follow various paths.

Personal therapy allows a deeper relationship between clinician and patient. We know that we respond in a more neurologically healthy manner when in the presence of another. Establishing a deep connection fosters more productive therapeutic work.

Therapy provides a physical space that allows adults to access painful content while feeling cared for and meaningfully held.

I look forward to sitting with you as we find new peaks leading to peace and happiness.

Let’s connect and get ready to climb those peaks!
