Individual Therapy

Different problems—and different kinds of stuckness—require different approaches.

Some difficulties are maintained by worry, rumination, avoidance, perfectionism, or the search for certainty. Others may involve emotional disconnection, relationship patterns, trauma, shame, protective responses, or deeply held beliefs that make change feel unsafe.

The BRIDGE Framework is the process I use to organize our work. It helps us understand what you are experiencing, consider what may be keeping the difficulty in place, and determine which evidence-based approach or approaches may be most helpful. Depending on your needs, our work may draw from cognitive, behavioral, metacognitive, interpersonal, experiential, trauma-informed, and body-informed approaches.

BRIDGE does not prescribe a particular treatment technique or require therapy to follow a fixed sequence. Instead, it provides a flexible structure for making thoughtful, collaborative decisions about the focus, direction, and depth of therapy.

I help adults with concerns such as:

Overthinking and emotional distress

Anxiety, worry, rumination, and uncertainty
Depression, loss of motivation, numbness, or disconnection
Perfectionism, self-criticism, and over-responsibility

Recurring emotional and relational patterns

Trauma-related concerns and protective responses
Relationship and interpersonal difficulties
Patterns that continue despite insight or previous therapy

Loss, health, and significant change

Grief, ambiguous loss, and caregiver stress
Chronic illness and health-related adjustment
Changes in identity, roles, relationships, or direction

Midlife, perimenopause, and menopause

Emotional and mental-health concerns during hormonal change
Shifts in mood, relationships, identity, and sense of self
Multiple midlife pressures occurring at the same time
