Therapists in Downtown, San Diego, CA

Anxiety can present itself in several different ways. To some, it can come off as a feeling of absolute overwhelm whereas others may experience it as a restless never-ending panic. In fact, some have found that making that first call to begin therapy can be a source of anxiety in of itself! Together, we can collaborate to uncover the sources of anxiety by exploring childhood experiences, memories that have shaped us and current day to day stressors. My goal is to provide you with tangible mindfulness skills such as breathing and grounding exercises to support you when feeling overwhelmed or triggered by life events.
