Worry and nerves are normal feelings to experience, however when worry and nerves start to affect daily routines for extended periods, anxiety becomes problematic. People struggling with anxiety disorders especially fear the worst as it relates to employment, health, finances, and/or relationships. This fear is persistent despite the reality of the situation.
Are you feeling stressed? Is a life situation, a partner or work making you feeling anxious or depressed? Have you lost a loved one and hurting? These are common experiences in life. It's tough to go through these experiences however you can learn to be happy again.

In the labyrinth of our minds, anxiety and fear often find their roots in the fertile soil of attachment and trauma. Like spectral guardians, they haunt our deepest emotions, whispering tales of past wounds and echoing the ache of separation. Through the lens of attachment theory, anxiety becomes the vigilant protector of our bonds, while fear stands sentinel, guarding against the shadows of past traumas. Yet, in the tender embrace of understanding and healing, we unearth the seeds of resilience, transforming fear into courage and anxiety into opportunity for growth.
Persistent worries that easily get in the way of day to day functioning can prevent a person from going to work, from going out in public, and can result in having to live largely in agony.
If you have ever felt nervousness or jittery, seek constant reassurance, are having difficulty sleeping being kept up by worrying, find yourself to be more self-critical than average, or are hypersensitive, there is a good chance you might be struggling from anxiety.
I am trained in all therapeutic modalities related to anxiety and feel confident and passionate about moving a client through fear and rumination to a place of healing.

Anxiety and fears are natural and everybody has them. I help my clients understand how their mind and body experience anxiety. Anxiety can be thought based, emotion based, or both at the same time. With all clients we try to figure out which kind of anxiety they are experiencing so that we can then work to reduce their fear.
Whether it's anxiety, stress, and fear related to your social, academic, or professional life, I'm here to support you every step of the way. Together we can explore those experiences, understand aspects underlying and maintaining your symptoms, discover tools and strategies that truly feel helpful for you, and create and sustain lasting, positive change in your life.
Anxiety and fears can be debilitating mental health concerns that impact our well-being, relationships and daily living. These moments can be tough to navigate without someone to trust and confide in for support. The first step of seeking help can feel intimidating and overwhelming. I would love to make the process as comfortable as possible for you.
