Connection is a skill. Let’s practice!

Individual Counseling

Heal, Grow, and Strengthen Your Relationships

At our core, we all long for meaningful and reliable connections. Whether with a partner, family, or community, strong bonds give us a sense of safety and belonging. But when anxiety, attachment wounds, or painful past experiences get in the way, it can feel difficult to create the closeness and trust you want.

Individual counseling provides space to explore your patterns, heal from old wounds, and practice new ways of relating—so you can feel more confident, connected, and alive in your relationships.

Why People Seek Individual Counseling

Clients often come to me when they’re facing challenges such as:

Relationship Anxiety

Relationship anxiety – fear of rejection, abandonment, or loss of independence.

Attachment Wounds

Attachment wounds – struggles with closeness, trust, or feeling “too much” or “not enough”.

Dating & online dating stress

Dating & online dating stress – uncertainty around finding love, dealing with ghosting, or building trust online.

Social anxiety

Social anxiety – fear of being judged, struggling to open up, or feeling awkward in groups.

Boundary setting

Boundary setting – difficulty saying no, over-functioning, or losing yourself in relationships.

Family history

Family history – healing from neglectful or intrusive parenting that left lasting imprints.

Understanding the past

Understanding the past – making sense of how childhood experiences shape current choices and fears.

Whether you’re single, dating, or in a long-term partnership, individual counseling helps you understand yourself more deeply and build healthier, more satisfying bonds.

My Approach

My work is hands-on, eclectic, and relational. You won’t just talk about what’s wrong—you’ll practice new ways of showing up in your relationships and in yourself.

I integrate Gestalt Therapy, the Developmental Model, Imago Dialogue, DBT skills, and somatic-imagery work to create an approach tailored to your needs.

Together we will:

Explore how your past experiences influence your present.

Heal attachment wounds and develop a sense of inner security.

Practice skills for boundaries, emotional regulation, and self-expression.

Work through dating and online dating challenges with more confidence and clarity.

Reduce social anxiety by building safety and self-trust in relationships.

Create personalized homework and practices so growth continues between sessions.

Why Connection & Bond Matter

Human beings are wired for connection. When bonds are strong and reliable, we feel secure, resilient, and free to grow. When bonds are strained or broken, anxiety, self-doubt, and repeating cycles can take over.

Through therapy, you can:

Transform fear and anxiety into clarity and choice.

Replace old defensive patterns with authentic connection.

Build meaningful, reliable relationships that last.

Experience love, intimacy, and friendship as sources of strength—not stress.

What You Can Expect

A compassionate and trauma-informed space.

Exploration of both past wounds and present challenges.

Practical, hands-on tools for everyday connection.

Homework and guided practices to strengthen skills outside sessions.

Support for dating, relationships, and personal growth alike.

Religious Trauma & Faith Transition Support

I work with clients healing from religious trauma, high-control faith systems, purity culture, and identity-based spiritual harm. My approach is grounded, trauma-informed, and LGBTQ+ affirming. Whether you’re questioning, deconstructing, or rebuilding your connection to spirituality, you don’t have to do it alone.
