Being single is more than dating—it is a season of life with its own emotions, transitions, challenges, and possibilities. You may be healing from heartbreak or divorce, navigating loneliness, questioning the future you imagined, experiencing pressure from family or society, or simply trying to determine what you want next.

As The Singles Therapist, I provide a supportive space for single adults to explore these experiences without judgment or the assumption that being single is something that needs to be fixed.

Our work may include strengthening your relationship with yourself, processing relationship wounds, rebuilding self-trust, navigating life transitions, establishing healthy boundaries, understanding patterns, and creating a life that feels meaningful and fulfilling now.

My goal is not simply to help you find a relationship. It is to help you gain the clarity, confidence, and emotional tools to live fully and make choices that align with who you are and what you value.

I bring a practical, collaborative, and solution-focused approach to our sessions. Together, we identify what may be keeping you stuck and develop strategies for moving forward. I may also provide reflection exercises and intentional homework to support your growth between sessions.

Ultimately, I want to help you stop putting your life on hold and create a life that feels authentic and meaningful—with or without a partner.

My approach is collaborative, practical, and centered on helping you understand yourself, heal from experiences that have shaped you, and move forward with greater clarity and intention. I integrate several therapeutic approaches based on your individual needs.

Solution-Focused Brief Therapy helps us identify where you are, where you want to go, and practical steps for getting there. We focus not only on challenges but also on your strengths, resources, and ability to create change.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps you recognize how your thoughts and beliefs influence your emotions and choices. We may challenge beliefs about your self-worth, relationships, singlehood, or where you think you "should" be in life and develop healthier ways of thinking and responding.

Narrative Therapy allows us to examine the stories you carry about yourself. Thoughts such as "I'm behind," "I'm not enough," or "My life didn't turn out the way it should have" can become powerful. Together, we challenge those narratives and create space for a more empowering story.

Person-Centered Therapy recognizes that you are the expert on your life. I provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you can explore your experiences honestly while being supported and challenged to grow.

Ultimately, our work is about helping you trust yourself, heal, make intentional choices, and create a meaningful life that reflects who you are—not who others expect you to be.

Our first session is an opportunity for me to understand you, your story, and what brought you to therapy.

We will explore what is happening in your life right now, what feels unresolved or difficult, and what you would like to change. This may include navigating singlehood, heartbreak, divorce, loneliness, relationships, family or societal expectations, identity, life transitions, self-worth, boundaries, or simply figuring out what comes next.

Together, we will identify three primary areas of focus and begin developing a plan for the next six months. This gives us direction while allowing your goals to evolve as you grow.

You can expect me to be collaborative, honest, supportive, and engaged. I am not here to tell you what your life should look like. My role is to help you better understand yourself, recognize patterns, explore your options, and develop the tools and confidence to make decisions that align with your values.

We will also discuss what you can expect from me as your therapist and what I expect from you as an active participant in the therapeutic process. We will review necessary paperwork, answer your questions, and establish a consistent schedule.

You do not need to have everything figured out before coming to therapy. We will start where you are and work together toward where you want to be.
