You wake up anxious again, wondering how you will make it through the day. Your mind is flooded with the "what ifs". Will you disappoint your boss? Did you say something stupid with your friends? Is your partner cheating on you? Are you a good enough parent? None of these worries are based in reality but they persist anyway. Not only is it completely exhausting but it leaves you feeling like you are never good enough, always doubting yourself and your mind becomes a fountain of negative thoughts - each one weighing more heavily than the last. It's no wonder you wake up dreading the day. You don't have to keep living like this!
I have 20+ years of experience helping people overcome chronic anxiety and many other issues. I'll listen to your story without judgment, helping you see that you can live a life without all the negative thoughts. Together we will make a plan and you will learn tools and skills to manage your life with confidence. Reach to me out to start feeling better..
I know you're struggling right now, but we can put an end to that. You can live life with positivity, calm, and a clear sense of direction. I know getting started can be a bit scary, so I'd like to offer you a free 15 minute consultation to ask questions and see if I feel like the right fit for you. Let's get you back to thriving in life. You are not alone.

A client once told me that our sessions feel like a big hug. My goal is to help people feel comfortable so it is easy to be vulnerable and get help with the most challenging issues they may be facing.

The most important initial phase of therapy is the relationship between client and therapist. Depending on what a person's goals and needs are, I usually begin with CBT to identify negative thoughts and learn what may be getting in the way of someone reaching their goals. From there it is helpful to teach coping skills to manage life's challenges more effectively.
