Individuals · Victoria, BC
Individual therapy for anxiety, depression, life transitions, breakups and feeling stuck.
When the worry won't switch off, the low mood won't lift, or you're successful on paper but disconnected underneath — therapy can help you understand the pattern and change it.
More than managing symptoms
Anxiety and depression aren't character flaws — they're signals. They often point to old strategies that once kept you safe and now keep you stuck. Together we'll make sense of where they come from, quiet the immediate distress, and build a way of relating to yourself that's steadier and kinder.
The work is practical and relational. You'll leave sessions with real tools, and with a clearer sense of who you are underneath the noise.
What we can work on
What people bring to individual therapy
- Anxiety, overthinking, and a mind that won't slow down
- Depression, low motivation, and feeling flat or numb
- Stress and burnout — especially in high-pressure work
- Self-criticism, perfectionism, and never feeling good enough
- Relationship patterns that keep repeating
- Life transitions — a move, a career shift, midlife questions
- Loss
- Breakups, separation and divorce
How the work goes
We start by understanding what's actually going on and what you want to be different. From there we work at a pace that fits you — building insight, yes, but also concrete skills for managing anxiety, lifting mood, and relating to yourself differently. Honest, warm, and grounded in real life.
Questions
What people ask about individuals
Do you treat anxiety and depression?
Yes. Anxiety, depression, stress, and burnout are among the most common reasons people come to see me. We work on both immediate relief and the deeper patterns underneath, so change lasts beyond the crisis.
How do I know if I need therapy or just a rough patch?
If something has been weighing on you for a while, affecting your sleep, work, or relationships, or you keep hitting the same wall, that's reason enough to talk. A free consult is a no-pressure way to figure out whether we're a fit.
What happens in the first session?
We spend time understanding what brought you in, your history, and what you want to be different. You'll leave with a sense of direction — and often something practical to try right away.
A safe next step starts with a simple hello.
