Individual therapy
Individual therapy is a private, collaborative space to slow down, name what is happening, and build skills that match your life. Many people come in when worry won’t turn off, when the past still shows up in the present, or when a transition has left them feeling unsteady. Sessions are paced to feel emotionally safe while still moving toward meaningful change.
