Welcome to LivelyFuture Individual Therapy

At LivelyFuture, I understand that life can bring unique and deeply personal challenges. As a certified Emotionally Focused Individual Therapist (EFIT), I specialize in helping individuals navigate grief, loss, and emotional struggles while fostering resilience and personal growth.

Individual Therapy – Finding Strength and Healing

In the journey of life, we all experience moments of hardship and emotional pain. These challenges can leave us feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from our true selves. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive space where you can explore your emotions, process your experiences, and build the tools needed for a fulfilling future.


Outcome: Through therapy, you may find renewed clarity, emotional resilience, and a deeper connection to your authentic self, allowing you to move forward with confidence and purpose.


Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT) is a research-based approach designed to address the emotional underpinnings of personal struggles. Together, we work on understanding your core emotions, identifying negative patterns, and fostering a deeper connection with yourself and others.

If You Are Feeling...

Grief

Grief can leave you feeling overwhelmed by the weight of loss, disconnected from the world around you, or stuck in sadness. Whether you’ve experienced the death of a loved one, a major life change, or the end of a relationship, these emotions can feel isolating and endless.


Therapy can provide a space to honor your grief, process your emotions, and discover ways to rebuild meaning and hope.

Trauma

Trauma can manifest as feelings of being trapped by painful memories, hypervigilance, or a disrupted sense of self. It can make it difficult to feel safe or connected to others, leaving you feeling alone and misunderstood.


Therapy helps you process the trauma, rebuild a sense of safety, and regain control over your life.

Loss

The experience of loss, whether through a job, relationship, or significant life transition, can create feelings of uncertainty, anger, or overwhelm. You may feel lost as you try to rebuild your sense of identity and purpose.


Therapy supports you in navigating these feelings, finding stability, and embracing new opportunities.

Intergenerational Trauma

Intergenerational trauma can feel like carrying a weight that isn’t entirely your own. Patterns inherited from previous generations may leave you feeling burdened, conflicted, or disconnected from your sense of self.


Therapy can help uncover these patterns, heal from the past, and create a healthier emotional legacy for yourself and future generations.

Depression

Depression can feel like exhaustion, hopelessness, and isolation, making it difficult to connect with joy or purpose. Even daily tasks can feel insurmountable, leaving you stuck in cycles of sadness or numbness.


Therapy can help you regain energy, rediscover joy, and develop tools to manage depressive symptoms.

Single Parenting

Being a single parent can feel overwhelming, with the demands of caregiving, providing, and managing your own needs often leading to guilt, loneliness, or exhaustion. You may wonder how to balance it all without losing yourself.


Therapy provides support, self-care strategies, and tools to build stronger relationships with your children while prioritizing your well-being.

Unhappy Parenting

Parenting can sometimes feel unfulfilling or frustrating, leaving you disconnected from your family or questioning your role. You may carry guilt for wanting more for yourself while navigating daily challenges and emotional exhaustion.


Therapy can help you explore these feelings, reconnect with your family, and rediscover joy in your parenting journey.

If any of these resonate with you, therapy can provide a safe space to explore your emotions, process your experiences, and find a path toward healing, clarity, and growth.

Individual Therapy for Personal Growth and Resilience

Life’s challenges can sometimes feel overwhelming, leaving little room to focus on yourself or build the connections you truly desire. Balancing personal needs, work, relationships, and emotional well-being can create strain that impacts every area of life.

In individual therapy, I focus on:

  • Strengthening Emotional Resilience: Helping you navigate feelings of stress, loneliness, or grief, and uncovering your inner resources to face life's transitions with confidence.
  • Reclaiming Balance: Supporting you in managing the demands of your roles and responsibilities, while carving out space to prioritize your own needs.
  • Addressing Unresolved Wounds: Gently exploring past experiences and patterns that may be influencing your current challenges, so you can begin to heal and move forward.
  • Improving Self-Connection: Guiding you to connect with your authentic self, rediscovering your values, strengths, and aspirations.
  • Enhancing Relationships: Equipping you with tools to express your needs and emotions more effectively, fostering healthier, more fulfilling relationships.

My Approach: Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)

Emotionally Focused Therapy is at the heart of my practice. This structured, research-supported approach focuses on helping couples:

  • Understand their emotional patterns and cycles of interaction.
  • Strengthen emotional safety and connection.
  • Heal past wounds and foster a deeper sense of trust.
  • Communicate more effectively to navigate challenges and strengthen their bond.

Through EFT, I guide couples to recognize and shift negative interaction cycles and replace them with positive, emotionally attuned communication. Whether you’re addressing specific conflicts, healing from past traumas, or proactively strengthening your relationship, this process is tailored to meet your unique needs.

How I Am Different as an EFT Therapist

As a certified Emotionally Focused Therapist (EFT), my approach centers on understanding and strengthening the emotional connections that shape your life. Unlike traditional methods that focus solely on problem-solving or behavior change, EFT delves into the deeper emotional patterns that influence how you relate to yourself and others.

Here’s what sets my approach apart:

  • Emotion-Centered: Together, we’ll uncover and explore the emotions driving your experiences, creating opportunities for growth and understanding.
  • Attachment-Focused: By addressing your attachment needs, I help you build a secure emotional foundation that supports your resilience and well-being.
  • Healing Past Wounds: Our work emphasizes not only overcoming current challenges but also healing unresolved emotional hurts and traumas that may still impact your life.
  • Strengthening Self-Compassion: Rather than focusing only on external changes, we work on nurturing a lasting bond with yourself, fostering greater confidence and emotional security.

Individual Therapy for Single Moms

Being a single mom comes with a unique set of challenges that can feel both overwhelming and isolating. Balancing the demands of parenting, work, and personal well-being often leaves little time to focus on yourself. Guilt, shame, and self-doubt can creep in, making it even harder to navigate the emotional toll of doing it all on your own.


In individual therapy for single moms, I create a compassionate space where you can explore your emotions, find your inner strength, and build strategies to thrive. Together, we address:

  • Easing Guilt and Shame: Many single moms carry the weight of guilt—feeling like they’re not doing enough for their children, or shame for needing help. We work to release these heavy emotions and replace them with self-compassion and confidence.
  • Managing Overwhelm: From juggling work deadlines to attending school events, the constant pressure can feel unrelenting. Therapy helps you find balance, prioritize effectively, and build routines that work for you and your family.
  • Building Emotional Resilience: Navigating feelings of loneliness, stress, or grief is part of many single moms’ journeys. Together, we explore these emotions and develop tools to face challenges with strength and grace.
  • Rediscovering Your Identity: It's common for single moms to feel they've lost a sense of self amidst the demands of caregiving. Therapy offers a space to reconnect with who you are, your values, and your dreams beyond the role of being a mother.
  • Strengthening Connections: Whether it's fostering a deeper bond with your children or improving relationships with others, we focus on equipping you with communication tools to express your needs and build meaningful connections.
  • Setting Boundaries: The desire to give endlessly to your children or meet societal expectations can make saying "no" difficult. Therapy helps you set boundaries without guilt, creating space for your needs while still showing up for your kids.

Building Support Networks: Identifying ways to create or strengthen external support systems, such as extended family, friends, or community resources.

Your Journey Matters

Single motherhood doesn’t have to mean facing everything alone. Individual therapy offers a sanctuary to share your worries, release the weight of shame, and create a path toward balance and fulfillment. By focusing on your emotional well-being, you not only nurture yourself but also build a stronger foundation for your family.

Individual Therapy for Parents

Building a Stronger Foundation for You and Your Children

As parents, we often carry the weight of wanting the best for our children. But amidst the daily stresses, worries, and emotional struggles, it can be easy to overlook our own needs. What we may not realize is that our well-being as parents has a profound impact on the emotional health of our children. When we take the time to care for ourselves, we become more relaxed, present, and supportive—creating a nurturing environment where our kids can truly thrive.


In individual therapy for parents, we focus on:

  • Creating Emotional Balance: Therapy helps you process your own stress, worries, and fears, so you can approach parenting with greater calm and clarity. When you feel grounded, your children experience you as more secure and less reactive.
  • Reducing Emotional Intensity: Children are deeply attuned to our emotions. By learning to regulate your feelings, you model emotional resilience for your kids and create a home that feels safer and less overwhelming.
  • Healing Personal Wounds: Unresolved past experiences can sometimes influence how we parent. Therapy offers a space to heal, so you can respond to your children with empathy instead of being triggered by old patterns.
  • Setting a Positive Example: Children learn by observing us. By prioritizing your mental health and showing compassion for yourself, you teach them the importance of self-care, resilience, and emotional well-being.
  • Strengthening Connections: Whether it's fostering a deeper bond with your children or improving relationships with others, we focus on equipping you with communication tools to express your needs and build meaningful connections.
  • Building Resilience for the Whole Family: When you feel supported and empowered, it creates a ripple effect that strengthens the entire family dynamic. Therapy for you is an investment in a healthier, happier future for your children.

Building Support Networks: Identifying ways to create or strengthen external support systems, such as extended family, friends, or community resources.

The Ripple Effect of Therapy

Your children look to you for guidance, comfort, and stability. By focusing on your emotional health, you become a healthier, more present parent who can better support their growth. The changes you make for yourself will directly or indirectly benefit your children, creating a home filled with connection, safety, and love.


Taking the first step toward caring for yourself is not selfish—it’s one of the greatest gifts you can give your kids.
