I help people who feel like anxiety has taken over their life to take control back and find balance. Maybe you came here because you worry about your teenager figuring out who they are in high school. Or because you are stuck in that in-between of adolescence and adulthood and trying to take those next steps feels overwhelming. Perhaps you are trapped by panic and fear… of something new, of talking to people, of making a phone call, of germs or of losing your breath to panic. Or maybe the memories of past trauma and relationships haunt you in the present.

Healing from trauma sucks and it isn’t fair. It wasn’t your fault, and yet you’re left with the weight of picking up the pieces. Maybe you’re navigating the aftermath of betrayal, grief, depression, anxiety, or a painful life transition. Maybe you’re struggling with relationships, identity, or the deep loneliness trauma leaves behind. More than anything, you want a space to feel safe, grounded, understood and wholly accepted.

It takes a lot of courage to acknowledge that you are wanting or needing help and then acting on that decision. It's a decision people usually make when they feel like they are in crisis or stuck in a relationship, job, or some other situation. Making this decision is a step towards change, because you are acknowledging that you want or need something in your life to go in a different direction. I provide individual and couple therapy with a focus on building healthy connections with ourselves and others. I also emphasize healthy relationships between our mind, body and spirit to develop and strengthen our authentic selves.
