Individual Adult Therapy
Your Life Stopped Making Sense
Nothing you say or do makes your partner happy anymore.
You stay home alone because the anxiety or depression makes connecting with people feel impossible.
You can’t keep a job for more than a short while.
You watch pornography.
Then comes the argument when your partner finds out.
You’re facing retirement and the old map stopped working.
These are specific situations, but they sound like your life.
Your Version of This Won’t Surprise Me
Therapy with me is simply a conversation where you can be honest about your anxiety, your pain, your guilt, your sadness, or anything else you’re carrying into the room.
No pressure to move on before you’re ready.
What you bring in won’t shock me.
What you’ve done won’t make me write you off.
Forty Years of Hearing This
For more than 40 years as both a licensed clinical social worker and an adoption attorney, I’ve sat with people through some of the most emotionally complex situations a person faces.
I’ve heard the relationship strain, the isolation, the job instability, the shame.
I have.
When You Name What’s Actually Driving It, Your Life Changes
Therapy with me uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as its foundation.
For the relationship strain, we slow down the moment the pattern fires and find the thought underneath it.
We test whether that thought is accurate or whether it’s based on outdated data.
For the isolation your anxiety creates, we map what you avoid, what short-term relief that gives you, and what it costs you over time.
Regarding job instability, we examine the expectations you’re bringing into the workplace and where those expectations meet reality.
For the shame cycle around pornography:
- We name the behavioral sequence.
- We identify the cues.
- We build a different response before the pattern runs again.
For the retirement transition, we start rebuilding your sense of who you are before the job ends and the silence sets in.
Adaptive. Collaborative. Yours to Drive.
I also draw on interpersonal therapy, mindfulness-based practices, and a collaborative approach that keeps you in the driver’s seat.
Some sessions look like sharing stories.
Others focus on coping with daily life, processing a difficult decision, or learning to move through a situation differently.
We move at your pace.
When the Pattern Shifts, Your Life Follows
The relationship starts to breathe again.
The isolation thins.
The job becomes a place where your expectations and reality have a fighting chance of aligning.
The retirement that felt like a wall becomes a transition you step into.
The shame around pornography stops running the household.
The shifts come gradually. But they come.
