Are you feeling a sense of increased anxiety and obsessive thinking? Are you struggling with self-doubt and inner conflict? Does your anxiety and panic show up in a sense of disorganization, disordered eating, or social anxiety? These are all common symptoms of anxiety, stress, and obsessive thinking. When we face these challenges there are proven solutions such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness based therapies, and values based behavior changes. How we get there is through connection to your provider, courage to assess what is not working, and committing and engaging in a new plan.
I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker with 15 years of experience in treating anxiety, distress, trauma, eating disorders, and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. I believe in empowering my clients to face their fears, support and nurture them along the way, while challenging them to thrive.
We cannot manage our anxiety and distress alone. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, distress, trauma, ADHD, OCD, or an eating disorder it takes support, understanding, and collaboration to find the best approach for you. I will help you identify what is working and not working, build effective strategies, and rebuild a values-based life.
