Do you worry all the time? Is it hard for you to turn your thoughts off? Would you like to enjoy the present moment, but feel unable to do so because you are so focused on the past or future? For many people, their fears negatively affect their relationships, work and health. They don't know how to let go of their worries or they've tried things that only made their problems worse.

You may feel preoccupied with worries and insecurity, or feel unheard by your partner or family. Perhaps you find yourself lashing out in anger when you feel ignored or misunderstood, or embarrassed about craving reassurance and attention. These cycles can be upsetting and confusing, but I can help you understand what is happening inside of you. I strive to create an accepting, affirming, and comfortable space for you to share all of your thoughts and feelings—even the ones that feel “bad”, irrational, or shameful.
