Individual Therapy

For Depression, Anxiety, Life Transitions, Parenting and Marriage

Life transitions can challenge our past ways of doing things.

Change can feel hard and uncertain and force us to sit in discomfort. Maybe you are navigating the transition from college to the “real world” and it’s not what you expected. Perhaps you are in a new relationship and feel insecure. Or maybe you have just taken on the new identity of mom or dad and feel like you have no idea what you are doing.

With anything new, we can feel excited but also very anxious. It’s a path you’ve never taken before and you aren’t sure what twists and turns lay ahead. Using therapy as a space to prepare for the new challenges you face can make them feel less scary.

Are you feeling like you are just barely holding it together?

Avoiding conflict. Always saying yes. Constantly seeking approval. Overcommitting. You know what I am talking about. PEOPLE PLEASING! When we constantly put others' needs before our own, we become burned out, overwhelmed, and resentful.

We hear the word “boundary” all the time (hello Tik Tok) but boundaries aren’t just a buzz word or a health trend. Boundaries are our way of taking care of ourselves so we can be a great parent, loving partner, dependable friend, successful employee. Having healthy boundaries shows that we respect ourselves and allows us to be our authentic selves.

Let’s commit to identifying our personal boundaries and setting them, consistently.

How, you ask?

  • Understanding our own needs and wants

  • Identifying when we are overwhelmed and burned out

  • Setting realistic expectations for our time, energy, and money

  • Sitting with the discomfort of someone being upset or disappointed

  • Improving our communication with others

  • Being honest with ourselves about unhelpful patterns of behavior we engage in

Parenting and Marriage

Marriage is work. Parenting is hard. We come into relationships, whether it is a romantic or parenting role, with our own long held beliefs, experiences both positive and negative, and patterns of behavior often learned from our family of origin.

But these can sometimes conflict with our partner’s views or with the kind of parent we want to be. Having a safe place to really take a step back and reflect, learn, and grow to be the partner and parent you have always pictured yourself to be is important.

Sometimes being a parent or a partner can feel like a job and it can be easy to lose sight of the joy these relationships bring. Let’s shift your outlook and get back to enjoying all your various roles.
