If you are experiencing high anxiety, or just not feeling like yourself or maybe you can't even label the uncomfortable feelings, you're not alone. You know you want to get rid of those feelings but talking to friends, aimlessly scrolling social media, ignoring it or maybe even using substances only bring temporary relief. Even if you have been in therapy before and know all your symptoms and the "why" but still haven't found solace, I'm your therapist. Therapy doesn't have to be scary. My clients have described me as funny, to the point, and empathetic. We can laugh and hold distress in the same session.
You want to relax and enjoy life in a healthy way, free of excessive worry or feeling down about yourself. You want to experience energy, get out of your head, and maybe even get back to engaging with others. Bottom line is you want to eliminate those negative feelings and I can help.
I've had over 18 years of experience working in the behavioral health field. I am a licensed master social worker, certified addictions counselor and certified Accelerated Resolution Therapist ART which is much like EMDR for trauma. I provide online and in person therapy at this time and online scheduling. Email or call me to see how I can help.
