I work with my clients to uncover the core problems causing their anxiety and fears. Anxiety is a natural human process that is hardwired into is.

Getting to the root of your anxiety is the key. Anxiety if just what the body experiences when emotions have been shoved down and gone "unfelt" for too long. I can assist you in feeling safe enough in your body and mind to let those "unfelt" feelings out - feel them and then release them. When those feelings are no longer stuck inside, the anxiety will dissipate.
