“Pain travels through families until someone is ready to feel it.”

- Stephi Wagner

Individual Therapy can help you understand:

Overwhelming Feelings:

Life is full of so many stressors. Symptoms of anxiety, depression, lack of direction, feeling stuck in life, low self-esteem. Sometimes the reasons for our stress are more known to us; other times we aren’t sure why we feel the way we feel. Therapy is a space that supports you in understanding what’s happening beneath the surface.

Re-occuring Patterns

Sometimes we find ourselves stuck in a pattern that is painful but hard to understand and therefore, hard to change. Therapy is a space to begin to explore these patterns, understand their origins, and work towards change.

Interpersonal Issues

Relationships are complex. They are foundation of what makes us human. Individual therapy helps to understand the deeper meaning within your relationships and the repetitive dynamics that can occur. Gaining insight around this can be the springboard for shifting how you show up in relationships. It also creates more clarity around your needs and desires within relationships.

Transitions, loss or change

When life outside of us shifts, something inside of us shifts as well. Individual therapy provides you with a space to safely process these changes and how it impacts your internal landscape. Some common life transitions are marriage, parenthood, career changes, a move, the loss of someone we love or something we had hoped for.
