Girls, don't let your anxiety get the best of you for one more day! I help teen girls and their parents understand and manage their anxiety in a way that helps them feel empowered and helps them the gain confidence to solve their own problems and make good decisions. It is time to stop feeling overwhelmed with life. I can help with over thinking, worrying about what others are thinking of you, feeling socially isolated or difficulties with friends, self-esteem, and social/school anxiety as well as the stress that comes from the expectations you feel from yourself and others.

“I just can’t. There’s just too much to do and too much to worry about. Work, family, money, kids…who has time to breathe?” You're about ready to fall apart, but fear drives you to push through. Too many people are relying on you to be “okay,” so failure is not an option. No one around you sees it, no one hears you screaming in your head. You've become a pro at wearing the appropriate mask to fit your current audience. Your thoughts keep you up at night, your heart pounds, it feels like an elephant is sitting on your chest. And at the same time, you're just so sad and lonely. You can't help but wonder, “what is wrong with me?”

Are you looking for someone you can truly trust to sit with you and genuinely help? Maybe you have a support system, but they have their own ideas and really can't be objective. Maybe you don't have much support, and that's part of what you're searching for. Either way, I want you to know that I am here to be with you and to be 100% FOR you. I will bring all my training and all of my compassion to our work together. Whether you are sorting through past trauma, or struggle with anxiety or depression - you are not alone. Together we will find real solutions and real healing.

Sanctuary is simply unlike any other counseling experience. When we opened our doors, it was with the goal of providing the most personalized, meaningful therapy possible. We listen. We listen to you deeply and with real compassion and intention. We work with you to discover the unique wishes and fears that may underlie your current concerns, and then support you throughout your healing and growth process. The experiences that brought you to this moment are uniquely yours, and we believe that the solutions that will bring you to a place of healing and happiness should be just as personal.

As we move through this journey we call “life,” we all learn tools to manage the ups and downs. Some of these tools prove to be more effective than others. When the old ways of coping no longer serve us, we can feel stuck, frustrated, and hurt. I would be honored to join you in the process of figuring out what may be more helpful for your current situation.

Maybe you’ve noticed that making a change in your life is a difficult. Many people struggle to find their footing in the world at one point or another – this can be a large source of anxiety, depression, behavioral issues, and stress. I want you to feel at ease to be your most authentic self, and to feel genuinely safe and comfortable as we explore your concerns together. Above all else, I prioritize warmth, comfort, and compassion at the core of the work we do. I promise to tell you honestly and compassionately what you need to hear, even when it might be difficult to face right now.

Everyone has parts of themselves they wish they could change or get rid of. Much of my journey, both personally and professionally, has emphasized the importance of learning to accept and even love those parts. I want to support you as you begin to see that self-acceptance and self-love are possible, and even necessary, for each and every one of us. Sometimes, all it takes is a wise pivot - like learning to celebrate the parts of ourselves that we may be most afraid to show. Ultimately, this process is about the importance of being open and honest about yourself and your needs - even when it's hard.
