Do you feel like you're constantly trying to escape your anxiety, just to find it around every corner? Anxiety is tricky this way. We all need some level of anxiety to help us protect ourselves from the truly scary things out there, but it can be exhausting to have never-ending worry about things that maybe aren't so bad, especially when it starts getting in the way of feeling good and doing the things you want to be doing. If this sounds like what you go through, you are probably looking for a way to harness your anxiety, so you can get back to feeling like you again.

I can support you in learning how to work with your anxiety when there's real threats to respond to, calm your anxiety when it doesn't really need to be around, and how to know when to use which approach. My style of therapy is casual and conversational, where we can deep dive into the problem and come up for laugh or two when things get too heavy.

As someone who has befriended my own anxiety, I'm passionate about helping others make peace with theirs, so it doesn't have to be such a loud and overbearing presence in their lives. If you'd like to chat more about what working together might look like, reach out for a consultation!

It can be hard to know what exactly you are seeking help with, especially if you've never been to therapy before. As opposed to specific conditions or disorders, I like to say I specialize in ways of problem-solving like understanding emotions, finding new ways of thinking about things, and processing unpleasant and traumatic experiences.
