Are you crippled or debilitated by anxiety? You should not feel as though the alarm clock goes off, and you peel your head from under the covers. "Oh crap, another day", you think to yourself. You try to muster the courage to face today, but you feel stuck. You stand on the side of the bed with what feels like cement bricks on your feet. The worry and fear of leaving the house is too familiar an experience you've been trying to manage for so long. Sadly, you become deflated, lay back down, hoping to try again tomorrow. But it seems like your tomorrow will never come.
As your therapist, the work toward freeing you from anxiety will be challenging but rewarding. I will work with you and push you to deal with the looming thoughts you haven't been able to manage until now, equipping you with the skills to experience freedom and success in this area of your life. Once I teach you biological impacts, you will soon be free.
Remembering your past will make you smile at what has caused you great distress over these years, it will no longer cripple you, and you will be in control. The front door will no longer be your kryptonite, and you will be able to feel the true sunlight on your skin again. Pick up the phone or send me an email/text so we can get you on a path to healing.

As a generalist practitioner I have gained a great deal of experience working with many populations, however, I have found great success working with individuals who struggle with anxiety which sometimes presents like depression. You can expect to have a therapist that will walk with you in those overwhelming moments but will challenge you to conquer those scary thoughts.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a proven treatment modality that has worked with many populations in the mental health field. Although this important, more importantly than education, modality, experience, etc., is a clients ability to connect with the person that they work with. That is the naturally unique perspective that I bring to my practice. I'm certain you will find it easy to connect.
