Whether it stems from emotional, mental, or relationship anxiety, it prevents you from living your life to the fullest. You desire to be free from the "looping" ruminations and the distress it causes. Behaviors such as social anxiety, codependency, rumination, or avoidance may reflect unprocessed and suppressed emotions and memories. I specialize in the treatment of anxieties, trauma, and codependency to alleviate the turmoil that keeps you feeling "stuck" or alone.

Listen, here’s the thing. If you’ve come this far, you’ve most likely read a lot of therapist profiles, and may read a lot more. Any therapist is probably going to tell you that they are equipped with what it takes to help you, and for the most part, that’s probably true. But just like any relationship, the therapist/client relationship has to be two things: A good fit, And not an easy fix. The truth is, mental and emotional health and well-being isn’t like a fad diet. You can’t keto your way to stability. Being healthy is a lifestyle, a commitment to working at something that can sometimes seem daunting.
