My typical client is looking for less stress, more joy and peace, purpose, connection, and meaning in life. They want to feel good and build a more meaningful relationships with those close to them, and feel secure in the knowledge that they are okay and "good enough". All of these things are possible Sometimes, all that is needed is a fresh perspective through education, positive support and encouragement. Each person is highly individual and I draw upon years of experience with a variety of traditional and alternative therapies to tailor treatment to your specific situation.

As a therapist, my niche is stress response system activation, which includes daily stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma responses.
Being human is complex. What drives most people to come to therapy is some sort of stress, strain, or unresolved trauma in life (in varying degrees). You probably feel "stuck" either repeating unwanted behaviors or feeling directionless. My goal for our work together is to support your growth amidst the challenging times, by helping to equip you with the right tools and support. As someone who struggled with anxiety for years, I have come to understand the importance of daily action that helps regulate the nervous system and helps reduce stressors.

Are you struggling with anxiety and trauma and turning towards unhealthy coping mechanisms in an attempt to manage your emotions? Now is a trying time for almost everyone, and if you have a trauma background what's coming up in the current environment may be reminiscent of the stress, isolation, and fear induced by early childhood experiences. You don't have to handle this alone, and with clinically tested techniques to regulate the mind and body, it's possible to shift from a place of disempowerment to strength.
