Individual Counseling

Support for Change, Recovery & Moving Forward

Sometimes life becomes difficult to navigate on your own. You may know something needs to change but aren’t sure where to begin. You may be struggling with substance use, working to maintain your recovery, dealing with stress or anxiety, or simply trying to understand patterns in your life that no longer serve you.
You don’t have to have everything figured out before reaching out for support.

I am a Licensed Addictions Counselor with more than 17 years of experience in the counseling field, including work with state and federal government. My approach to counseling is compassionate, practical, and individualized. I believe counseling should provide a space where you feel heard and supported while also helping you develop the insight, tools, and strategies needed to create meaningful change.

Areas We May Address

  • Individual counseling may include support related to:
  • Substance use and addiction
  • Recovery and maintaining sobriety
  • Relapse prevention
  • Identifying triggers and developing coping strategies
  • Stress and anxiety
  • Life transitions
  • Establishing healthy routines and boundaries
  • Changing unhealthy patterns and behaviors
  • Building confidence and self-awareness
  • Creating a healthier and more balanced life

Counseling That Meets You Where You Are

You don’t have to wait until you’ve reached a crisis to seek counseling.

Maybe you’re questioning your relationship with alcohol or another substance. Maybe you’ve already made significant changes and want support maintaining them. Or perhaps you’re navigating a difficult season of life and recognize that the strategies you’ve relied on in the past aren’t working anymore.

We’ll start with where you are today.

Together, we’ll identify what you want to change, explore what’s getting in the way, and develop realistic strategies to help you move forward.

Counseling vs. Life & Wellness Coaching

Sakura offers both Individual Counseling and Life & Wellness Coaching, but they serve different purposes.

Individual Counseling is a clinical service that can address substance use, addiction, recovery, behavioral and emotional concerns, and other issues within my professional scope as a Licensed Addictions Counselor.

Life & Wellness Coaching is non-clinical and more focused on practical, future-oriented goals such as routines, organization, time management, accountability, budgeting, stress management, and navigating everyday life transitions.

Not sure which one you need? That’s okay. We can discuss what you’re looking for and determine which service is the most appropriate fit.

Virtual & Self-Pay Counseling

Individual Counseling is offered virtually and is self-pay only; insurance is not accepted.
Because counseling is a licensed professional service, eligibility is based on applicable licensing requirements, including where you are physically located at the time services are provided. Please contact Sakura to determine whether counseling services are available to you.

Your Next Chapter Doesn’t Have to Look Like Your Last One

Change doesn’t happen perfectly or all at once. Sometimes it begins with one conversation, one decision, or one small step in a different direction.

If you’re ready to explore what that next step could look like, I’m here to help.
