Your life is amazing in so many areas, yet you can’t seem to get your anxiety to step aside and let you live your life to the fullest. You worry, your mind races with directionless thoughts, you’re distracted, and you’re too often irritable. Those awkward moments replay in your head and endless fears play and replay in your head. Then this presents challenges for you and your relationships. Maybe the anxiety is even coming from your relationships. Either way, let me help you come up for air. I know there is a lot on your plate, and these constant struggles with your thoughts, feelings, and moods are the last thing you need.
Together, we will work on making sense of your emotions and thoughts and help you to align them with your values, needs, and desires. Today you are one step closer to a new you where you feel empowered and on a positive path to growth and well-being. When you work with me, you will experience non-judgmental compassionate and support.
I bring 25+ years of experience, skills & training in Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT), Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), and Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) for anxiety, depression, panic attacks, loss, limiting self beliefs, performance anxiety &/or unusual or traumatic life events.
