Individual Therapy
Individual therapy is a protected space to process emotional experiences and work through life's difficulties. Through the therapeutic relationship and high quality interventions, you can begin to repair what feels broken. Individual therapy is a place where you are encouraged to come as you are while also taking steps towards who you wish to become. We can address mental health struggles like obsessive-compulsive disorder, perinatal mental health, and areas of perfectionism and overworking. Therapy may feel vulnerable as you share sensitive or potentially painful information. I will hold your story with respect and care.
The first meeting is an intake session held in-person at my office in Ventura or virtually from anywhere in California. This diagnostic evaluation is usually about 90 minutes and may require several additional sessions for more complex clinical needs.
INTEGRATIVE THERAPY
I offer a human approach to therapy based on your individual needs. Therapy is an experiential process that seeks to be encouraging yet challenging to promote growth.
The dynamic or relationship between us serves to facilitate flexibility and growth in places that have felt rigid or stuck. Through the therapeutic relationship I hope to gently shine a light on areas that have been pushed out of awareness often as a coping strategy for difficult interpersonal experiences. We will also look at areas of lifestyle including sleep, nutrition, social connection, leisure, and mindfulness or increased presence with a sense of meaning and purpose.
Individual therapy in Ventura and secure telehealth throughout California.
Whether you are seeking help for OCD, anxiety, emotional eating, or personal growth, I offer an experienced and compassionate approach to changing unhelpful patterns.
“you will need to honor your aspirations with your behavior. You won't be able to achieve the progress you want just by changing how you think. While feelings often change after insight about what's happening inside, some feelings will only change after you change your behavior.”
