I help my clients learn more about anxiety and how to apply techniques to improve their reaction to anxiety. Learning the basics of applied coping strategies such as grounding and deep breathing are only the beginning. Exploring how anxiety is not always bad and learning how to assess what is really happening when anxiety does occur empowers my clients to be more confident in how they chose to respond in those anxious moments.

Anxiety, fears and depression often color our day to day and we can cope just fine. Then there are moments where we realize the moments where we feel "okay" and not dead or anxious are becoming less and less in our day and the sad and anxious thoughts are crowding us to the point where we feel trapped, suffocated and know that we must do something or it's only going to get worse. I'm here to tell you that it gets better and the fears you have are keeping you down and there is another side where you can be free, full and overcome that which feels overwhelming and inesapce right now.
I have the training and experience to not simply talk about how you feel and what you are anxious, scared and nervous about facing but implement an evidenced based plan that is proven to produce the results and freedom you desperately want. I completed post graduate clinical training at Yale University School of Medicine and received training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for anxiety and depression.
Life can be scary. Feeling overwhelmed and out of control happens for many good reasons but sometimes we are not able to calm ourselves enough to function the way we want to. I can help you reorder how you think, make choices and relate to others so that you regain a sense of control over your anxieties. Fear and stress do not have to run your life.

Anxiety and fear starts as a protective reaction to some "perceived threat" in one's life. Understanding this can begin to loosen the stigma of "anxiety disorders". The problem occurs when it is not anxiety and fear itself but when it is turned up too loud. We can find ways to cultivate healthy fear and anxiousness.
