I specialize in working with anxiety, trauma, and relationship challenges. Tired of worrying and hyper-fixating on things you could have done better? Do you frequently shift into an anxious body and can't calm yourself down? Emotional challenges can be exhausting, with anxiety manifesting in overthinking, perfectionism, and procrastination. You are not alone. Therapy presses the pause button on life and heals reoccurring patterns standing in your way. Growth happens when you have a warm and compassionate therapist to help work through the hard stuff. I get that, and I place a premium on holding that safe space for you.
I offer Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and EMDR treatment. Sessions are rooted in making connections between thoughts, body sensations, emotions, and behaviors. We will work to identify stuck points, grow insight, and build coping skills that lead to more fulfilling relationships, better boundaries, a stronger sense of self, and an overall more joyful life.
Life is too short to continue feeling anxious. The time for action is now. I am ready to meet you wherever you are on your healing journey. You deserve to feel healthy and balanced. I have a certification in Mindfulness Stress Reduction and have training in EMDR. I offer free 20 minute consultations. Call, text, or email now so we can get you started!
