The pursuit of well-being, health, meaning, joy, and peace is an on-going, confusing and complex journey. Fear, anxiety, dissociation, trauma, depression, flashbacks, and intrusive thoughts strip us from our agency, disconnect us from our deeper intentions, values, and priorities, and hijack our capacity to live fully enriched, meaningful lives. Making sense of these experiences is often fraught with shame, confusion, frustration, and can leave one feeling powerless and overwhelmed.

I am an Anxiety, OCD and Trauma specialist. When clients come to work with me they are often struggling with fear of the unknown, relationship challenges, low self-esteem, behavioral and mental compulsions, negative intrusive thoughts and other such patterns that are taking them deeper into the fear spiral. In therapy, I support my clients in developing a kinder relationship with themselves while becoming more conscious of the negative coping patterns that are holding them in cycles of pain.

You constantly feel anxious and on edge. You overthink everything, and find it hard to get things done. Life feels overwhelming. Sleep is difficult due to the endless cycle of thoughts running through your mind. You have a lot of thoughts that begin with "What if". You often imagine the worst case scenario and get stuck thinking about it over and over. Every little thing irritates you, but you hide those feelings because you don't want to upset anyone. You have friends but find it hard to reach out to them. You work hard in your career or school, but still don't feel like it is good enough. I would like to help!
