Finding a therapist can be really tough. You're here because you've hit your limit, and I'm here to help. As a trauma and anxiety specialist, I work with chronic worriers, people-pleasers, insomniacs, and people who have way too much on their plate. I help my clients find the balance between feeling too much or not much at all, recognizing our emotions as valuable information about what we want and need in the present moment. Many of my clients are hard on themselves and think they need to keep pushing themselves harder, when in fact they might benefit much more from calm, compassionate encouragement.
I focus on doing what works in the context of your unique needs, values, and priorities. We'll form a supportive relationship to work on managing emotions, building skills, and processing stressful or traumatic events so that you can feel more confident, regulated, and connected with the life you want to live.
You're taking a really important step by reaching out for support. You deserve to meet with someone who will take the time to listen, understand, and develop a comprehensive plan with you. During our consultation, we can talk about your needs and goals, I can tell you more about my approach, and we can decide whether we might be a good fit to work together.

I meet with folks who have survived a single, life-altering event, as well as those who have accumulated a lifetime of repeated, highly stressful experiences. Whether you're experiencing PTSD, anxiety, stress, or related challenges (such as depression, alcohol/substance use, anger, or isolation), we'll work to understand why you're struggling and build on your existing strengths.

"
My clinical approach is science-informed and flexible. I tend to focus on mindfulness, self-compassion, values, and learning new ways to respond when difficult situations come up. New skills might include tending to the body's stress response, developing different ways to think about yourself and others, or gradually reconnecting with stressful but important activities or situations.
