Imagine being lost in a dark, foggy hedge maze, alone, confused, overwhelmed, unable to focus or remember where you were going, your thoughts a tangled mess. In the distance you see a figure approaching with a lantern, steady hand outstretched. I will be your guide through the your maze of intrusive and anxious thoughts towards a peaceful clearing and the direct pursuit of the life you want to live. Together we can mentally transplant you to a mindscape that allows you to grow; a safe place to untangle your thoughts, stretch your mind, and grow fearlessly.
My approach is scientific, wholistic, and practical, with a focus on mindfulness and creative solutions to bring our awareness where we want and gradually structuring our life behaviorally towards the future we want, and replacing fruitless spinning wheels with purposeful direction.
If you are seeking a knowledgeable and grounded guide on your journey toward peace and fulfillment, feel free to reach out to me. I live to share the peace and hope that I have found through calming focus and wholistic behavior modification with others like you, so that you can unwind, relax, and reach for new heights.

I find fulfillment working with people who struggle with anxiety and their identity to overcome their fears and fully live their life. During our initial sessions, we will dive into what is keeping you where you are in your life and create a plan to begin making incremental changes to get you closer to the life you want to live; with less fear and more security in yourself.

In our sessions, I start by implementing wholistic solutions to your immediate individual problems, progressing towards changing unhelpful thoughts and views while infusing mindfulness techniques throughout our individualized process. Ultimately we will work towards accepting what we cannot change and incrementally changing what we can to get you closer to the life you want to live.
