We all experience times of stress, fear, loneliness and sadness. Worries and "what if's" can keep us up at night. But when these things start to affect our overall well being and daily functioning, help from a professional can be beneficial. I can work with you in these difficult times and provide support and tools necessary for healing.I hope you will find my office safe, welcoming, nonjudgemental and a place where you can talk through what's bothering you.
I specialize in treating anxiety, panic disorder, depression, trauma, and partner betrayal trauma from infidelity or sex addiction. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotions Focused Therapy and Somatic Experiencing to assist in your treatment. I also like to look at your attachment style and how early childhood experiences have affected you as an adult.
I strive to build trust and rapport with all my clients. This session is all about you and I want you to feel comfortable and heard. Please feel free to call or email me with questions.
