My integrative approach addresses anxiety and fear by focusing on the mind-body connection. Using a combination of mindfulness techniques, nutritional therapy, and evidence-based cognitive behavioral strategies, I help clients manage anxiety in a holistic way. Together, we work to reduce symptoms, improve focus, and bring balance to your life.
Anxiety or fears have a way of creeping up on us and then taking over our thoughts and feelings. Learning what our "go to" fears are and then learning how to "rewire" our brains so that we don't continuously repeat these thoughts over and over again can bring relief and a new focus for life.

Anxiety can be crippling, leaving you feeling alone and different. Shifting thought patterns and understanding the root cause of the anxiety is critical to making lasting change and feeling more satisfied with your life.
Anxiety is the most common challenge that brings people into therapy. Although it feels horrible, it is treatable and people are able to develop skills and insights to help manage anxiety and improve quality of life.
Anxiety causes a lot of suffering, which is often misunderstood. Friends and family tell you to do yoga, to stop going to Starbucks...But there are reasons for your anxiety that are not related to lifestyle. We are often anxious because of what goes on in our heads, in our psyche. Not knowing or understanding these things keeps us feeling vulnerable and hopeless. I can teach you methods to help you relax while also helping you uncover what keeps you stuck in anxiety and suffering.
