About

You feel overwhelmed by your anxiety at times; sometimes even to the point of having a panic attack. It can come out of nowhere and you don’t understand what brought it on or how to make yourself feel better. You feel helpless. Sometimes you can’t stop the tears from streaming down your face. You feel like no one cares about you or understands what you’re going through. There’s this unspoken pressure to just “get over it" and "move on" because "it's in the past." You say to yourself, “why can’t I just feel better already? What’s wrong with me?”
I empower my clients with tools to cope with your anxiety so you can walk away from your sessions with a greater sense of calm that you can take with you into the week. Together, we’ll practice skills such as mindfulness, guided meditation or relaxation and grounding exercises so that you can heal and grow. Additionally, I'm trained in EMDR for trauma.
I don't think in terms of what's wrong with you, rather I consider what happened to you as I conceptualize our work together. Asking for help can be hard. I'm so glad you found me and have taken the courageous step of reaching out. If you're ready to find healing and wholeness in your life, contact me today and let's get started!
