Individual therapy
Individual Therapy
Understand yourself differently. Show up differently.
In-person counseling in Boulder, Colorado Online throughout Colorado
Sometimes the problem is not that you do not understand yourself. You understand exactly what you are doing—and somehow keep doing it anyway. Individual therapy can help you understand the patterns underneath your relationships, choices, emotions, and defenses, then begin practicing a new way of relating.
This is a place to get curious about what has shaped you without reducing you to a diagnosis or a problem to solve. Together, we can make more room for agency, self-expression, intimacy, and choices that feel aligned with who you are becoming.

The process
Beginning individual therapy
Individual therapy is for adults and teens ages 15 and older who want space to understand a concern, a relationship pattern, or a change in their life. You do not need a diagnosis, a polished explanation, or a fully formed goal before reaching out.
I think of the first session like starting a puzzle: first we find the edge pieces and turn the other pieces over so we can begin to see the outline. We will talk about what brought you to therapy, who you are, what you want to change, and some of the history and patterns that may be shaping what feels difficult now. I begin mapping attachment history, lifelong patterns, and the strategies that once helped you, while noting subjects we may not have time to explore deeply yet.
Together, we develop a personalized working map and choose a starting point. We notice patterns in daily life, build understanding and compassion for how they formed, experiment with new responses, and practice until change becomes more familiar. Sessions may include guided exercises as well as conversation. You can expect regular between-session practice, and I may offer direct feedback or challenge a thought pattern when that could open up a new perspective. I bring ideas but am ready to focus on what matters most that day; therapy is collaborative and adaptable, not prescriptive.
With intention
A relational way to work on your individual life.
Individual therapy is not separate from relationship work. The ways you protect yourself, express needs, choose partners and friends, and respond to closeness is in your hands.
I work with adults of different ages, genders, backgrounds, and relationship experiences. I especially enjoy working with people who are thoughtful, curious, and willing to examine their own patterns.
