Individual Therapy for Professionals Navigating Relationships & Life Transitions

You’ve worked hard to build a successful career. You’re educated, motivated, and people often look at you and assume you have it all together. But inside, it doesn’t always feel that way.

Maybe you find yourself snapping or shutting down during arguments with your partner. Maybe you’re lying awake at night, replaying conversations, stuck in cycles of overthinking. Or maybe you’re facing big life transitions—whether to move, have kids, change jobs—and you feel uncertain, pulled in different directions, or unable to find clarity.

Individual therapy offers you a space to slow down, sort through the noise, and actually create the change you’ve been wanting.

Common Challenges My Clients Face

The professionals I work with often come to therapy because they’re:

  • Struggling with defensiveness, reactivity, or shutting down in conflict with their partner

  • Carrying resentment, insecurity, or low self-worth after stressful relationship changes

  • Wrestling with anxiety and overthinking, sometimes managed with medication but still draining energy

  • Feeling stuck around major life decisions: kids, moving, career direction, or how to balance it all

  • Navigating unresolved family-of-origin patterns, especially around achievement, expectations, and emotional connection

Even if you’re high-functioning on the outside, you may feel stuck, uncertain, or disconnected on the inside.

How Therapy Helps

Individual therapy is a place to:

  • Build tools to regulate your emotions so conflict doesn’t spiral out of control

  • Develop skills to communicate more effectively and give your partner the benefit of the doubt

  • Gain clarity and self-trust when making big life decisions

  • Rebuild your confidence and sense of worth apart from your job or relationship struggles

  • Process old family dynamics that still shape how you show up today

  • Align your career, relationships, and personal values so you feel more grounded and fulfilled

My Approach

I specialize in working with men and professionals who want more than just a place to vent. My clients want to be challenged. They want a therapist who will listen, yes—but also one who will help them see blind spots, offer tools, and push them to grow.

I draw on research-backed approaches like Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), the Gottman Method, and attachment-based therapy. These models help us understand both your relationship dynamics and your individual patterns. My style is direct, compassionate, and practical.

You’ll leave sessions with new insights and strategies you can apply right away—not just a space to talk in circles.
