IS ANXIETY STEALING YOUR JOY? Do you suffer from anxiety, depression, panic attacks, feelings of loneliness and/or emptiness? Are you struggling with life changes, loss, feelings of hopelessness? Are you fearful about finding/losing love? Do you suffer with feelings of worthlessness or feel incapable of being loved? Healthy connections are a primary need that we all have. Healthy attachments help us regulate our emotions to live a joyful and peaceful life. Sometimes through life experiences, our ability to attach and connect in healthy ways gets disrupted, negatively impacting our lives and our ability to regulate our emotions.
I am trained in attachment therapy and EMDR. I take a comprehensive therapeutic approach that helps you regulate your emotions and build your inner strength using therapeutic Mindfulness and somatic work that specifically targets healing our nervous symptom, strengthening our ability for healthy connections, increased resiliency, and inner peace.
I myself have suffered from anxiety and I know how debilitating it can be. You are not alone. The good news is you don't have to suffer anymore. I am here to help. Call me. I offer a free 15 minute phone consultation. Together we can see if I am the right match for you. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
