One-to-One Therapy
Start With What Is Heaviest
You do not have to arrive with a perfect explanation. We begin with the decisions, responsibilities or worries taking up the most room right now. I ask questions, listen for patterns and help you choose a place to start.
Day to day, carrying so much can look like moving from one responsibility to the next without checking what you need. You may keep track of the plans, make the decisions and notice what everyone else needs while your own needs stay at the bottom of the list. Even when you stop moving, your thoughts may keep going. You might feel exhausted, overwhelmed or overstimulated, then wonder why rest has not made the weight feel lighter. Individual therapy gives you a private place to name that experience without having to organize it into the right story first.

Work That Fits Real Life
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps us examine the thoughts that keep you doing everything for everyone. We can also use mindfulness, body-based awareness and practical skills between sessions. When it helps, sessions can include breathing and yoga-based techniques. I bring both comfort and accountability to the work.
CBT is my foundation. In a session, we can identify the thought themes attached to the heaviest weights, including the belief that you must manage everything or put other people first. We look at what those thoughts ask of you and whether they fit the life you want to live. DBT and ACT skills can support you when feelings are difficult, while somatic and mindfulness tools help you notice what is happening in your body and attention. Resilience skills I am certified by the U.S. Army to teach can also become part of the work. I pair support with accountability and intentional homework that has a clear connection to what we discussed.
