We work with clients who may be struggling with anxiety, trauma and relationships difficulties.
Come as you are. Move at your pace. Find your way forward. If you feel ready for something deeper than surface-level fixes. If you're tired of just managing symptoms and want real transformation that honors your whole self. If you've tried quick solutions, but you're looking for healing that addresses root causes, not symptoms. If you want to understand deeper patterns in your life and relationships, and you're motivated to do meaningful work that leads to lasting change. If you deserve support that sees you as a complete person, not just problems to solve. We will work well if these statements are true for your healing journey.

Unfortunately, many people learn to avoid topics related to their trauma or loss for fear that talking about it will cause uncontrollable painful emotions to arise.
What if I told you that you wouldn’t have to avoid people, places or activities? Seems impossible, right? Wrong! Nothing is impossible. While working in a safe setting, you can learn grounding skills to utilize when experiencing intrusive thoughts, identify self-worth, and learn to process ways to focus on what is in your control.

My approach is unqiue to each individual; however, I often incorporate Mindfulness when someone is struggling with anxiety and worry or modified-DBT principles with individuals struggling with emotion regulation.
Have you ever felt overwhelmed by your emotions or you don't know what you're feeling at all? Do you feel as though people are taking advantage of you or you don't know who you are anymore? You're not alone, this is very common. I will partner with you and help you to identify not only what you're feeling, but also how to cope with those feelings so you can feel more empowered to navigate your life more effectively. I can also help you to find your voice, so you can connect with who you are and to begin to assert clear boundaries with others.

You use up your spoons to show up for others and hope that you'll feel supported in return but instead, you're still feeling drained, anxious, and lonely.
I support neurodiverse and chronically-ill adults reduce anxiety, heal from relationship trauma, and cope with changes in their health. I especially enjoy working with those diagnosed with FND. I also specialize in relationship therapy to address concerns with communication styles, mixed-neurotypes, attachment issues, and approaches to non-monogamy.

Now strain shows up as anxiety, sleeplessness, a temper on a hair trigger, or a numbness you can't shake.
I blend talk therapy with body-based and biofeedback methods. We make sense of the parts of you that pull in different directions. We settle the nervous system through breath and attention. We train the heart toward steadier rhythms. This simple triad—mind, body, heart—helps loosen old patterns of anxiety, pain, or self-criticism, and opens room for choice.

Experiencing depression and anxiety symptoms from past loss or trauma.
You probably already know at least some of what you wish were different in your life. Often what we wish were different we have wanted to change for months, years, or even decades. Counseling often has a balanced focus on helping you learn how to cope with present day symptoms while at times looking back to become free from old patterns of responding. Those old patterns that at one time may have been necessary in order to survive, now may be the very thing limiting your ability to thrive and realize your potential.

Maybe that change relates to ongoing patterns of negative thinking, unhappiness, overwhelming anxiety, depression, self-criticism, feeling stuck, or procrastination.
My approach in therapy works by first embracing and fostering what is authentic, true and whole in each of us. From here, we engage in an active process of exploring unhelpful reactive patterns in the mind-body connection that lead to suffering, and call upon sensorimotor and mindfulness-based practices such as MBCT or MBSR to step out of unhelpful patterns.

You may be carrying anxiety, feel stuck in patterns you can’t seem to break, struggling in relationships, or trying to hold everything together while feeling exhausted underneath.
My approach to therapy is relational, compassionate, and grounded in the belief that healing happens through connection. I take time to build trust because strong rapport creates the foundation for meaningful, lasting change. At the same time, I believe growth sometimes requires being gently challenged.

Anxiety Therapists
When should I seek treatment for anxiety?
Everyone feels anxious at times, but when anxiety causes disruption to your daily life, it may be time to seek help. Such disruption can be mental, physical, or both: having fear dominate your thoughts, avoiding situations or objects that bring on feelings of anxiety, or experiencing shortness of breath, sweating, dizziness, or panic attacks. When these symptoms are recurrent and distressing, it may be time to talk to someone.

What are the most common types of treatment for anxiety?
Talk therapy, particularly cognitive behavioral therapy, is the most common treatment for anxiety. Studies have shown it is equally effective as medication. Other popular forms of therapy are popular, depending on a patient’s experience. Exposure therapy, for instance, can be useful for people dealing with fears and phobias, or who have experienced traumatic events. Dialectical Behavioral Therapy may be useful for patients who need help with emotion regulation. Anxiolytic medications, like benzodiazepines, can also help with calming a person enough to focus on the skills they’ve learned, and physical exercise has been shown to help symptoms of anxiety across the board.

How long does therapy for anxiety take to work?
The amount of time needed to alleviate symptoms depends on the severity of a person’s condition. Some therapies may take 5-20 weekly sessions to show results. Anti-depressant medications typically take two to four weeks before a benefit is felt. Anti-anxiety medications are felt typically within 20-30 minutes. Medications are best used to offer a patient a better headspace in which to work on techniques learned in therapy. Exercise, improved sleep habits, and meditation are effective, but takes weeks or months to show results.

How effective is treatment for anxiety?
Treatment for anxiety has been shown to be moderately to highly effective, according to a large body of psychology studies and analyses. For some people, treatment using CBT or exposure therapy alone is effective. Others respond best to a combination of medication and therapy.
