Waitlisting new clients............. Feelings of panic and anxiety can be scary and constant racing thoughts of worry can leave you feeling overwhelmed. Finding a healthy balance of learning how to cope with these feelings and thoughts while maintaining a sense of freedom to live your life without the fear of panic attacks takes time, guidance, and support. Please allow me to help you find clarity through this process. As a therapist and educator, I understand that the cycle of chronic stress and a demanding schedule can feel like a heavy anchor weighing you down. I specialize in helping my clients cope with these heavy feelings.
My treatment focuses on cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), which aims to enhance inner strength while reducing anxiety. I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR), which targets traumatic experiences and allows for reprocessing those experiences in a safe environment. EMDR allows clients to live with the memory without reliving trauma.
Fear can feel debilitating, though I can help you discover your voice and personal power. My expertise will guide you through this courageous journey as you begin to create a new path moving forward. Life transitions such as college, new career, new home, or divorce is an area that I specialize in, and will help you ease into the fear of change.
