To the extent that irritability and hypervigilance are symptomatic of underlying trauma, I use an integrative approach to treating anxiety and stress. Talk therapy is incredibly useful in helping change your thoughts, but you cannot talk your way out of feeling; you can only feel your way out of feeling. When anxiety and stress are robbing you of the ability to feel embodied and present for your life, it can be difficult to manage interpersonal relationships, sexual vitality, work obligations, career ambitions, and even physical health. By reducing anxiety and stress, you can be intentional about finding ways to thrive in all areas of your life.

As an experience psychologist, I can help people who struggle with nervousness, excessive worry, or stress; intense discomfort in social settings; sudden and intense feelings of panic. Through specific evidence-based interventions as a certified Mindfulness-Based Therapist, and guided by the principles of neuroplasticity, I help people mindfully navigate these painful emotions and experiences in a healthy way.

With the current times, stress and anxiety may be heightened and affecting various aspects of your life such as: work, relationships, sleep, and every day responsibilities. Anxiety can be overwhelming but it can be treated and you will get better. I will help you learn tools to manage and decrease your anxiety by developing an awareness of your triggers.

I work with clients with anxiety by helping them develop skills and resources to be used during high anxiety periods. Then I assist people in developing a better understanding of where the stress and/anxiety stems from. With this increased self-understanding, people are better able to channel the "anxiety energy" into something more fulfilling and helpful.
