If your mind won't stop thinking, you're burned out from holding it all together, or you keep finding yourself in relationship problems no matter how much you work on it, there may be more going on than just stress. I'm an anxiety specialist with 20 years of experience helping people with anxiety, PTSD, complex trauma, burnout, relationship issues, perfectionism, and major life transitions. We’ll get to the root of what’s going on using an integration of EMDR, CBT, CPT and somatic approaches that go beyond basic talk therapy, working with the mind, emotions and nervous system through a holistic approach grounded in science
When we work together, I'm invested in you and helping you create the life and relationships you want. I bring mindfulness and deep attunement to our work, while asking the hard questions, noticing patterns you may not see, and sometimes saying what others won't. Therapy with me is warm and compassionate, and also honest and active.
Starting therapy can feel like a big step, especially if you're used to handling things on your own or you've tried therapy before and still feel stuck. You don't need to know exactly what's wrong or what you need before reaching out. We can start with a conversation, see if we're a good fit, and talk about what you hope could be different.
