New openings Tuesdays and Wednesdays online, Thursdays in Plymouth: Help for Anxiety & Trauma: Do you struggle with overthinking, people-pleasing, or feeling lonely? Do you run from one thing to the next? Do you put off lunch and bathroom breaks until your body is shouting for your attention? You work to fix things. You read self-help books, exercise, try to eat well, and stay hydrated. Part of you thinks you could do more and do better. I can help. Together, we create a weekly therapy that both honors your strengths, and builds a capacity for something new: being present, a sense of connection, or something else.
Whether problem-solving or overthinking, your mind is a powerhouse. In therapy, we use this strength while also building your literacy in your sensations and emotions. It's experiential. Consider: How do you know when a person is sitting too close to you? Attention to that inner sense of knowing is what sets this approach apart from other talk therapy.
Therapy can help you experience a felt sense of safety within yourself and in the external world, becoming a launching pad to whatever you choose. And yet the things bringing you to therapy are the same things that make it difficult to reach out to a therapist. Watch my video to get a vibe check, then book a consultation to find out whether we're a good fit.

We address your concerns at the pace your system can digest safely: in slivers. We savor the good (or the less-bad) bits of life at the start, cultivating resources before we dip a toe into the shallow end of the pool of the hard things (but not too slowly). We collaborate, paying attention to what is alive in the moment: thoughts, body sensations, urges for movement, images, etc. to guide us.
