Are you gripped by anxiety, struggling to keep it together and always worried the other shoe is about to drop? Or maybe you struggle with depression, feeling emotionally numb, cut off from connecting to yourself or others? Others may have an impression of you as really competent and would be shocked to know how much you're struggling to keep it together. You want to feel more confident, present and connected to others, but can't figure out how to get there. You also feel sick of being this way and are ready to make a change. You want to find a therapist who gets you and can guide you towards a happy, grounded, connected self.
I specialize in working with adults with anxiety, depression, and PTSD from trauma and attachment wounding. Clients come to me because of my warm, welcoming presence, as well as my knowledge and expertise. I serve as a steady hand that helps clients feel seen and understood rather than judged. From there the healing can begin.
I will meet you wherever you are at in your healing journey. From there, I'll help you discover that calm, connected, and confident self, while also enriching your relationships with others. You don't have to keep living a life that feels overwhelming or hopeless. Reach out through my website or call today! I can't wait to hear from you!
