Hi there, I'm Tiffany . Does this sound like you? Something happened to you (or someone you love) a month ago, a year ago, years ago. You have tried everything you know to "move on" yet the mere thought of it brings tears, makes you wince inwardly, or makes getting out of bed daunting? I am here to support you as you process your experience, and find ways to alleviate some of the suffering.

Anxiety can cast a shadow over your ability to show up and engage in the world. It hinders personal growth and presents challenges in work, school, social situations, and relationships. It even has the power to perpetuate across generations—leaving a lasting impact on family dynamics. My focus centers on helping you identify factors contributing to anxiety and developing problem solving strategies to help you look at situations from new and less frightening perspectives. I will equip you with valuable tools to unapologetically live in your truth.
