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.

I have a background in working with children ages 10+, adolescents and adults in many aspects of mental health: anxiety and depression, ADHD, stress, PTSD, and relationships and communication skills.
Are you “stuck”—either on something that’s changed in your life, in the world around us, or just in general? Maybe something just feels strange or "off". Change is intimidating, even when we take it one step at a time, and often we can’t see the full picture without stepping away for a wider view. Sometimes, you just need another perspective - one that's neutral and doesn't "take sides." Your situation, just like you, is unique, and I can help you through it. I’m here to honor your struggle and help you build on the skills you have. I can help you respect or heal past decisions and help you to define new ones.

I have been told by my clients that my use of mindfulness practices along with EMDR, emotional awareness, and effective communication skills often help them reduce stress, anxiety, and improve their overall quality of life.
Even when it seems like you should be at your best, you are reminded of the worst moments of your life. Your worst memories get replayed. You feel as if you are alone even though there are people around you. You feel suffocated in public. Things you know should not be a problem often feel dangerous or scary anyway. Times of year, smells, sounds, phrases often trigger this in you. These are signs of trauma. Or maybe, in relationships, everything feels like it has to be a fight? Are you and your partner constantly "at each other" for what seems like "no reason"? Even in good relationships, this can be problematic.

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.
