Individual Therapy

Most people come into therapy wanting someone to listen…really listen. They want to know that the therapist genuinely cares about them. I have found that combining mindfulness with traditional talk therapy is effective in outcome and length of therapy for some people. Let me know if you are interested in learning more about that.

I see people ages 21 and older (I only work with adults).

Therapy can be goal-oriented or more loosely organized.

Not ready to schedule an appointment?

If you want to try a few things on your own before scheduling an appointment:

  • Learn about your strengths and take the free VIA Character Strengths survey.
  • Start a journal to see if you can identify some issues you’d like to address in therapy.
  • Buy the Please Understand Me (Keirsey, D. & Bates, M., 1984) book and learn your personality type. The book includes the Myers-Briggs self-test and descriptions of each of 16 personality types identified by Carl Jung.
  • If you are plagued with painful memories about your childhood, take the adverse childhood experience (ACE) survey online at NPR.org and read about the effects early childhood trauma can have on adult physical and mental health.
  • Start a mindfulness practice. Sit in silence or listen to a guided meditation app for one to five minutes a day. There are some great apps for guided meditations, some of them are free. Try them until you find one that you like. Here are a few suggestions: Balance, Calm, HeadSpace
