Anxiety and stress can show up in so many ways—overthinking, trouble sleeping, a constant sense of urgency, or feeling like you're never doing enough. If you're feeling overwhelmed or stretched thin, therapy can help you slow down and reconnect with what actually matters to you. In our work, we’ll explore what’s driving your stress, how you’ve been coping, and how you can create more clarity and calm.

Anxiety and stress, sometimes they're manageable... sometimes they aren't.

I’ve been helping people lead more intentional lives for over 20 years. Anxiety can cause thoughts to be out of proportion to reality, stop you from doing what you want to do, and make you feel out of control. I’m trained in cognitive behavioral therapy, developmental models,and anxiety and depression management. I will support you in creating a set of tools to help you manage your anxiety. Most importantly, you're a distinctive person, with distinctive needs. My goal is to work with you as a unique individual, and focus on YOUR goals.

I love working with people who wrestle with anxiety and stress, I love it because of the difference I witness in the lives and experiences of my clients. Employing a blend of mindfulness, somatic experiencing and neuroscience (polyvagal) techniques, the felt experience of anxiety can be managed in an entirely new way for you, and can lead to profound change in your life. I can not make it so that you never feel anxious again, but we can work to help you learn what to do when you experience the familiar sensations of anxiety, so that it doesn't take over your thoughts, body and life.

Every emotion has a purpose, including anxiety. For some, anxiety can be too much for some, and it can manifest in many different ways.

By building resilience and reducing stress, clients gain greater emotional stability, improving overall well-being and daily functioning.
