Anxiety can be a controlling force that keeps us from living the lives we want. I work with adults struggling with anxiety; which can look like excessive worry, self-critical thoughts, or struggling with life change. I help people acknowledge and process anxiety in a safe space at their own pace. My passion is to help people become unglued from anxiety so that they can live meaningful lives; lives that are inspired by their values and the people they care about.
I use a therapy model called Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people get unstuck from their difficulties so they live the lives they want to live. Together, we'll practice methods to help you get unstuck from anxiety while also exploring ways you can engage with the things that make life meaningful like your family, friends, or your values.
Deciding to pursue therapy can be a scary choice, but it can also be the choice that helps you become the person you know you can be. I want to journey with you to help you reach your full potential. If you are ready to embark on this journey, feel free to reach out. I can't wait to meet you!
