Are you experiencing anxiety, depression or trauma from stressful life events, difficult relationships, or chronic situations? Would you like to develop new ways of coping in a welcoming, confidential space where you can reduce stress & prevent burnout? As an experienced anxiety & trauma specialist, I offer a supportive listening environment to promote safety, freedom of expression, self-compassion & curiosity. Together, we recognize patterns & triggers, explore your thoughts, feelings & circumstances, & identify mindful strategies to build on your strengths & move in the meaningful direction you desire for your personal growth.
I specialize in treating anxiety, trauma & depression with adults who are adjusting to the impact of these lived experiences. I offer in-person or Telehealth dynamic therapy, emphasizing creative (through narrative storywork & artistic inspiration ) & holistic care (mindfully attending to cognitive behavioral thoughts, feelings and somatic responses).
Finding a therapist who is a good fit takes thoughtful consideration. I offer a free phone consultation to discuss any questions you might have as you consider working together. If you would like to schedule a consultation, please contact me. I welcome your questions and hope to hear from you!
