Relationship Concerns and Identity Exploration
Individual Therapy is used to improve overall well-being and resolve personal, relationship problems, and/or sexual issues from the individual perspective. Individual therapy can be helpful for people who are single, newly dating, or for those whose partners are not ready or unwilling to come to couple’s treatment. Similarly some clients seek out individual therapy as it provides more individual attention and privacy for your concerns. Together we can figure out what might be getting in the way of you having the life or relationship that you desire but cannot currently achieve.
Areas of specialty for individual therapy:
- Relationship issues or dating patterns that lead to unsuccessful, or “dead-end” romances
- Contemplating or recovering from a difficult break-up or divorce
- Dealing with infidelity (past or present) and betrayal
- Setting boundaries with a romantic partner or feeling codependent

Other areas of focus:

We often feel unhappy with our current situation or unsure about how to get to the next step in our lives. I strive to meet you where you are at in each and every session, whilst helping you to find direction and move forward. My practice involves encouraging and challenging clients to identify and build upon their strengths to create positive changes in their lives.
