Do you find yourself burdened by anxiety or unwanted thoughts, no matter what you do? You might be exhausted from trying to manage all the thoughts that are constantly running through your mind. Your keep feeling bad - it's like you don't measure up, and you feel disappointed. Maybe it's becoming difficult to remember a time you didn't feel this way. You've tried on your own to feel better, and now you're ready to take the next step in finding relief. You want to understand your triggers and to feel more in control of your thoughts and emotions. You're motivated to learn, and open to trying new things.

Clients come to me looking for a therapist who is relatable and skillful. Together, we will work on goals that matter to you. I draw from EMDR, ACT, CBT, somatic and mindfulness therapies to help you address your unwanted thoughts and behaviors, and to empower you to make choices that you feel proud of. Your success is my highest priority.

You can find support to address the thoughts or behaviors that are holding you back. I'm not just a therapist: I've been where you are! I have the lived experience to say that I know it's hard, and I know there's healing. I'd love to offer you a free 15 minute phone call to find out if we are a good fit. If not, I'm happy to help you find someone you trust.

I work with clients who may be struggling with anxiety or emotional issues due to undiagnosed ADHD, OCD, past trauma, or just being overwhelmed by life. Clients typically have weekly 50-minute sessions; initially we will dive into the issues that bring you to treatment, then collaborate to make therapy goals that are important to you. Most clients see symptoms ease within 4-6 months.

Anxiety and low self esteem respond well to EMDR. In our sessions, you can expect to learn skills such as mindfulness, challenging your thoughts, feeling your emotions, and making decisions you are proud of (even if it causes discomfort). You will learn to tolerate discomfort instead of avoiding it, and I promise it's not as bad as it sounds!
