Does anxiety, panic, or substance use feel like it’s running the show? Licensed in Georgia, Florida and Delaware. If you’re stuck in a spiral of worry—whether it’s about your health, your relationships, social situations, or just getting through the day—you’re not alone. Anxiety can show up in so many ways: panic attacks, intrusive thoughts, seeking constant reassurance, or avoiding certain people or places just to feel safe. Maybe you’ve tried pushing through, distracting yourself, or finding answers online, but nothing seems to truly help. It makes sense if you’re feeling overwhelmed, frustrated, or just plain tired.
I specialize in helping adults who are navigating OCD, anxiety, panic, and health anxiety. My approach is warm, collaborative, and rooted in evidence-based strategies that work in real life. Together, we’ll explore what’s driving your struggles and build practical tools so you can feel more steady, confident, and at ease.
I offer telehealth sessions across Georgia, Florida and Delaware making it easier to access support from the comfort and privacy of your own home. If you're longing for relief and ready to take the next step, I’m here to help. Reach out today for a free consultation, I’d love to hear your story.
