A lot of our anxiety comes from a fear of the unknown which leads us to feel unsafe. I have experience helping people process their anxiety and find emotional regulation in the midst of the pressures of life.

General anxiety and fears are one way our central nervous system adapts to perceived threats. When our anxiety or fear doesn't seem to "settle down" easily, it can make everyday life terribly difficult. I utilize EMDR as a primary tool to help your nervous system "reset" and addresses the negative experiences that tend to feed anxiety and fear.
Unfortunately, anxiety is incredibly common. This partly has to do with the way that our brain and nervous system is wired to keep us safe. I can help you develop an understanding of how you are wired, develop tools to rewire the aspects that are no longer serving you and gain freedom from the fears and anxieties that are limiting you.
Life has a way of making us feel overwhelmed and out of control at times. Fears, stress, and anxiety can build up and consume your thoughts and feelings. I believe that by exploring unmet needs from the past, people can develop healthier relationships today. By working through painful losses and wounds, people can release unhelpful beliefs about themselves and others in order to live more fully in the present and with hope for the future. We are hurt in relationships; we are also healed in relationship, and the therapeutic relationship can be a useful resource. If you are ready to take the next step I am here to support and empower you. I look forward to working with you!
Anxiety is often unsupported excitement. We are energized when some part of us believes we need to take action. Much of the time, it's not clear what the action needs to be or there is no clear action available, so the energy gets trapped in a loop and becomes anxiety. Let's map this process in your own experience and see what we learn together.
We all get anxious, it's a normal part of being human. Our brains have evolved to detect threats, both real and imagined. The problem is that the human brain has a hard time distinguishing between what is actually a threat in front of you (a bus about to run you over) and an imagined fear (giving a public speech). This is anxiety, and it can be devastating. If you have ever had a panic attack, you know how bad it can get. The good news is that recent evolution in the fields of psychology and neuroscience has given us powerful ways to overcome anxiety. Simple, effective, and powerful tools to reverse the impact of anxiety and stop it in its tracks. Anxiety is one of the most successfully treated conditions, and I would love to help you. Anxiety does not have to limit you anymore!
