Individual Therapy
Space for Personal Growth, Clarity, and Courageous Choices
You’re not broken. You’re stuck.
And that’s something completely different.
Individual therapy is for people who feel: I don’t want to live like this anymore. For people who notice they’re going in circles, sabotaging themselves, crossing their own boundaries, or constantly people-pleasing while losing themselves along the way.
Live authentically true to yourself
This isn’t a quick fix. It’s an intensive, personal journey focused on personal growth, personal development, and developing the ability to live authentically true to yourself.
What’s included in the Individual Therapy Plan
My Individual Therapy Plan is designed to support your personal development over approximately 3-4 months, with flexibility to adapt to your unique pace and needs.
What’s included
5 comprehensive sessions:
- 4 core therapy sessions (minimum 60 minutes each, often longer)
- 1 dedicated aftercare session
Each session includes:
- Experiential exercises and deliberate practice
- Personalized guidance tailored to your development
- Practical assignments to practice between sessions
- No clock-watching—sessions run as long as needed
After completing the plan:
- Reduced-rate follow-up sessions available as needed
- Space for maintenance and further deepening when desired
A tailored approach that moves you forward
The foundation of the Individual Therapy Plan is Gestalt therapy. When appropriate, I integrate elements from psychosocial therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), schema therapy, and other methods that help you move forward. No fixed protocols. Just sharp attention, honest contact, and an approach tailored to you.
Who is individual therapy for?
For people who are done with what’s not working in their lives.
Maybe you recognize yourself in one or more of these situations:
- You struggle with setting boundaries and say yes too often when you feel no
- You don’t feel quite right without knowing exactly why
- You’re stuck in stubborn patterns that have frustrated you for years
- You’re dealing with stress, overwhelm, or (impending) burnout
- You’re carrying difficult or unprocessed experiences with you
- You keep ruminating over big existential questions: Who am I? What do I want? What’s the point?
And more importantly: you’re not just ready to complain, analyze, or survive—you’re ready to grow.
What you need
Your body is constantly trying to communicate with you. It signals flawlessly which needs require attention so you can live in balance as a human being.
Except… most people have unlearned how to listen.
When you ignore your signals, your body speaks louder. First it whispers. Then it pushes. And eventually it shouts—through stress, tension, fatigue, or restlessness.
In individual therapy, you learn to listen to that inner compass again. Not in some abstract way. Honestly. Practically. And surprisingly concrete.
I help you recognize:
- What your body is trying to tell you
- Where you consistently cross your own boundaries
- What you actually need to function well
Your body doesn’t lie. Your mind sometimes does.
What you want
Without clarity, you stay stuck
Without clarity, there’s noise. Noise gets in the way of making clear choices. And without choice, you stay stuck.
Many people say they want to change but don’t actually make a real choice. They keep thinking, weighing, considering—and unintentionally sabotage their own development.
Get crystal clear
That’s why we work explicitly on one thing in individual therapy: getting crystal clear about what you want.
Not what you should want. Not what seems sensible. Not what others expect from you.
But: what you truly want with your life, your work, your relationships, your time.
Clarity gives choices. And choices change lives.
What holds you back
This is where it gets interesting.
Because once you know what you need and what you want, you run into yourself. Guaranteed.
First, there are the endless considerations
The mental spinning that keeps you stuck analyzing instead of acting. You weigh, you wonder, you reconsider—over and over. Considerations aren’t inherently bad, but when they become endless loops, they stifle progress.Then there are the limiting beliefs
These are the deeper stories you tell yourself about who you are and what you’re capable of. The problem isn’t that these beliefs are true—it’s that you start believing them.Here’s how they work together
Ask yourself: Given what I’m considering, what belief tells me I can’t move forward? For example:- “I want to set boundaries” “But I’ll be rejected.”
- “I should speak up” “But I’m not important enough.”
- “I need to make a change” “But I’m being selfish.”
In therapy, we explore:
- What you’re endlessly considering without deciding
- What beliefs are actually running the show beneath those considerations
- Whether these beliefs still serve you—or ever did
I invite you to examine this pattern. Vulnerable, honest, sometimes challenging—but always with compassion and respect.
Not tearing down. But awareness. And then: freedom of choice.
Standing up for yourself
For most people, this is the scariest part:
- Giving yourself permission.
- Taking up space.
- Saying no without guilt.
- Saying yes without losing yourself.
Standing up for yourself doesn’t mean becoming harder. It means becoming more honest.
Honest with yourself. Honest in contact with others. Honest about what works and what doesn’t.
The goal is to live authentically
The goal isn’t to become selfish. The goal is to live so authentically that your freedom also creates space for the people around you.
Life skills, then. Not perfection. But courage.
What this requires from you
Individual therapy only works if you’re willing to actually move.
That requires:
- A genuine desire to grow and take yourself seriously
- The courage to look at yourself honestly and kindly (including the parts you’d rather avoid)
- The willingness to make courageous choices and actually follow through
- Perseverance: falling, getting up, trying again—until movement happens
Without commitment, therapy stays talk.
With commitment, it becomes transformation.
How Individual Therapy benefits you
No empty promises. Just realistic outcomes when you take the work seriously.
The benefits you gain:
- You stand more firmly in who you are and advocate healthily for your needs and desires
- You learn to build bridges between yourself and the people around you
- You develop confidence in your own capabilities
- You become more resilient in dealing with stress, setbacks, and life’s challenges
You don’t become someone else.
You become more yourself—without apologies.

–Frequently Asked Questions
Questions about Couples Therapy
How do I know if you're the right therapist for me?
You’ll usually know pretty quickly. My approach is direct, engaged, and experiential. I don’t beat around the bush, and I won’t prioritize comfort if it gets in the way of your growth.
If you’re open to honest contact, self-exploration, and ready to actually move instead of just talk, there’s a good chance this fits. If not, that becomes clear fast too—and that’s also valuable.
How quickly will I see progress?
It’s different for everyone. Here’s the truth: you get the results of your own effort. I guide you sharply and stay engaged, help when things get tough, and push you especially when you want to quit. But you do the work. Those who fully engage usually notice change faster than expected.
What can I expect during and between sessions?
