You feel anxious about everything & nothing in particular. No matter how much you try to relax, there’s a lingering sense that something isn’t right. You feel constantly on edge, trapped in cycles of overthinking, guilt & self-doubt. The roots of your anxiety seem just out of reach. Though you crave connection, your relationships often feel distant and unsatisfying. To top it off, you feel disconnected from yourself. Therapy can help calm your body’s stress response, uncover the deeper emotional patterns driving your worry, regain trust in yourself & help you build the relationships you desire. Relief is possible. I’m here to help.

I specialize in helping adults struggling with anxiety & trust issues learn to calm overwhelming emotions, feel secure in themselves, and create the relationships they want. Using brain & body-based therapies, we’ll uncover what’s keeping you stuck and release what’s holding you back so you can feel calm, confident, and connected to others and yourself.

If you’re looking for therapy that goes beyond understanding and changing thought patterns, and that engages the deeper connections between mind, body, and heart; I would love to discuss whether we would be a good fit to work together. Call or email me today to schedule a free consultation.

My approach to therapy is primarily based on Somatic Experiencing (SE), Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Brainspotting, which allow for deeper healing than traditional talk therapy.
