Individual Therapy in San Luis Obispo
Individual therapy offers a supportive, grounding space to work through anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship stress, and major life transitions. My goal is to help you reconnect with your strengths, understand your patterns, and create meaningful, lasting change.
For clients working through trauma or distressing memories, EMDR therapy can be an effective approach alongside individual therapy.
Common Concerns I Help With
- Anxiety, chronic worry, and overthinking
- Depression, overwhelm, and low motivation
- Stress and burnout
- Trauma and unresolved past experiences
- Low self-esteem or self-doubt
- Life transitions, identity questions, or feeling stuck
My Approach to Individual Therapy
My style is warm, collaborative, and grounded in evidence based practices. We work together to understand the thoughts, beliefs, and experiences that shape your emotions and behavior, then build practical tools for day to day life.
My approach may include:
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
- Mindfulness based strategies
- Relational and attachment focused work
- EMDR therapy for trauma processing
As an EMDR trained therapist, I support clients in processing distressing experiences that continue to affect the present. EMDR helps the brain reprocess painful memories, reduce emotional intensity, and create a greater sense of clarity, safety, and emotional freedom.
We will work at a pace that feels steady and grounded, focusing on both insight and practical change.
