During this difficult time, many of us are facing anxiety about the future and what will come. We experience isolation, fear, and disruption to our norms. For some, ongoing concerns with depression, trauma, or relationships have become difficult. This online therapy group aims to focus on what unites us, how we can support one another, and what internal and external tools may provide us solace in these uncertain times. Though we are practicing social distancing, we can still practice emotional connection.

MARCH Update: Space is available in two online therapy groups: one supporting people who are feeling isolated, and another group supporting single parents....

Sufferers of social anxiety disorder often feel that they are under the scrutiny of the public eye. They become intensely nervous when having to perform or interact in public. Sufferers perceive others as critically judgmental of them, and consequently fear making mistakes, appearing foolish, and feeling embarrassed. Consequently, certain people, places, or situations are often avoided or endured with extreme anxiety. This affects over 16 million Americans, and numerous athletic/media performers.
**This group will teach members a variety of effective tools to combat their fears during social/performance/sports anxiety in order to facilitate positive social interactions.

If you or your child suffer from OCD or other anxiety disorders, you're not alone. Anxiety disorders are the most common mental illness, yet most sufferers don't receive proper, evidence-based treatment. OCD/anxiety can cause problems socially, academically, professionally, and create chaos with family members. The good news is that there is help. Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) has repeatedly shown to be the most effective approach for defeating OCD and anxiety. CBT creates new neuro-pathways by changing the way you think and behave. It's basically exercise for the brain. The more you flex those brain muscles, the stronger you become.

Do you need support finding your life’s purpose? Do you feel overwhelmed? Do you find it difficult to feel pain and face your shadows? While considering the whole person- heart, soul, mind and body, I trust that you enter therapy having the insight you need to navigate your distress. I use the term "depth emergence" to explain my orientation and approach. It stems from depth psychology, which emphasizes gaining access to the unconscious and bringing it into consciousness. While increasing awareness we derive meaning, evolve, and transform.

Effective OCD treatment means challenging yourself to do those things you fear—not just speak about them. With therapy, change is easy to see, but it takes your hard work and dedication to do the opposite of what has been protecting you from stress, anxiety, and fear. Living in an OCD cycle is distressing and time consuming, but often times comfortable; its repetitive and ritualistic nature provides a false sense of safety and control. Effective OCD treatment requires a willingness to abandoned your tried and true (though unhealthy) methods try something new. Together, we can enact the change you’d like to see in your life.
