You may be feeling like something is wrong but aren’t sure why. Perhaps others see you as successful but to you it feels like something is missing. Maybe you are shouldering the weight of anxiety, stress, or self-doubt that can often cause our worlds to shrink. I will meet you in that place and we will work together to dig our way out. I help people who are struggling with anxiety, healing from past trauma, grappling with dissatisfaction in career or relationships, and facing life transitions. I bring my authentic self to our sessions and care about creating a space where you feel safe and affirmed in your identity.
Therapy can help us identify patterns in our lives that keep us stuck in ways that are often outside of our awareness. Together we will explore how your past experiences and your current situation may be impacting your mental health. Releasing old patterns that are no longer serving you can make space for the change you want to see.
I have an MA in Counseling and a PhD in Neuroscience with 15 years of research experience focused on the neural basis of anxiety. This background gives me a unique lens into how the brain and body interact in mental health. I offer covid-conscious therapy and value working with people from diverse backgrounds. I welcome your call to see if we are a good fit!
