You deeply desire to break free from the anxiety that has become the centre of your life. My practice is here to support you if you struggle with panic attacks, OCD and/or health-related anxiety. If this is you, read on! You might be overwhelmed with worry that something is seriously wrong with your health. Despite visits to health care professionals and endless searching you continue to worry. Likewise, you might feel unable to live your day-to-day life freely for fear that you may get caught in an panic attack. You dream of living at ease in your body again. Anxiety has left you feeling like a shell of the person you once were.

Let's get started together-mapping out the journey for your recovery. Expect therapy that is holistic, warm & evidenced-based. Therapy will become an active, dynamic process where you will slowly work to reclaim your life from anxiety and start to re-engage with things that matter to YOU. You will learn tools to take back the wheel from your anxiety.

Right now it may seem impossible but imagine not needing to rely on others to calm your nerves, re-engaging with life, being more present with the ones you love & less hijacked by your body. Sometimes the hardest part is getting started. I am here to work alongside you when you are ready. Let's talk about what the other side of anxiety can look like for you.

I collaborate with folks who desire to reclaim their lives from anxiety (health-related fears, panic attacks and symptoms of OCD etc.). I weave together evidence-based therapies (ACT, CBT, ERP) to support you to start spending more time doing things that matter to you. Most of my clients begin to get clarity on the things that are keeping them stuck & empowered with tools to shift forward.

I absolutely love using Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) to support clients in identifying ways to support them to live a life that is rich & meaningful to them. ACT is very much client centred and also actively involves trying things out in-session. It is a flexible model that allows us to tackle issues from multiple angles.
