Individual Therapy
You Want a Space and a Person of Your Own
You’ve done therapy with other people in the room.
The family sessions helped, and so did the couples work.
Now you want a space and a person for yourself.
One hour a week where the subject is you: your patterns, your history, and why you function the way you do.
Nothing You’ve Read Has Moved You Any Closer
You’ve listened to the podcasts and finished the books.
None of it has gotten you to the goals you set for yourself.
You are confused, and it seems too complicated. You want to be close with people around you and also want to stop needing them so much.
I’ll Ask You the Questions You Haven’t Thought Of
Sorting out what you actually want is part of the work here.
My approach is challenging and caring at the same time.
I’ll ask you the questions you haven’t thought to ask yourself, the ones that put your own experience in a different light.
Those answers belong to you, and I’ll have you say them in your own words.
Meet the Parts of You That Have Been Working Too Hard
Most of that work happens through Internal Family Systems (IFS).
It’s a way of working with the different parts of who you are. The part that shuts down. The part still holding shame from childhood.
Each one gets understood instead of fought, and a part that feels heard stops having to work so hard.
Take the Roadmap with You
We work toward the day you don’t need me anymore.
You’ll leave with a roadmap of your own healing: where your patterns came from and what to do the next time one of them surfaces.
It’s time to understand all of who you are.
Let your present life dictate your future. Your history stays where it is, in the past.
Ask Me the First Question
The first conversation is free and happens by phone.
Tell me what you’ve already tried and where you want to go, even if you’re not sure yet how to get there.
If it feels like a fit, we’ll pick a time and begin.
Call me today at (269) 921-6953.
It's Time to BECOME KNOWN
You already know that if you don’t unburden the harms of your past, you’ll keep running from the emotional pain of it.
The running puts more distance between you and the people you love, more distance between you and yourself, and pushes you further into the coping that breeds more shame.
In our work together, we’ll build insight into who you are. Why you function the way you do. How to change the behaviors, thoughts, and feelings that no longer feel helpful.
To yourself, and to the people you love: it’s time to BECOME KNOWN.
Something different. Something permanent. That's what this is.
Unburden the harms of your past and live a life where you truly like who you are.
Call me at (269) 921-6953. We’ll talk by phone first, at no cost, and you can decide from there.
Free 15-minute phone consultation. Online throughout Illinois, Michigan, and Indiana.
