I have been a psychologist, marriage therapist and coach for many years and truly enjoy helping people find ways to overcome life challenges in their personal life, workplace, and relationships. I see myself as a teacher as well as a therapist.
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. Experiencing anxiety does not mean there is something wrong with you, it means that your body is trying to tell you something. Together, we can work collaboratively to uncover the meaning behind these anxieties and fears.
“What if..?” It’s like a silent monster that no one else can hear - always questioning but never giving you the answer. It can paralyze or make us want to run and hide. Together, we can learn to quiet the beast, to better understand it and work with our anxieties rather than let them control us.
Don’t listen when worry calls your name. Worry is a habit with a neuro biological underpinning. Learn to have awareness when worry starts [“That’s just my anxious brain firing wrong”]. Use the first sign of worry as a cue to use techniques such as positive self-talk, thought stopping, or deep breathing to manage your anxiety.
I have experience with working on specific fears/phobias, generalized anxiety, panic, and anxiety that has been somaticized. I know the impact that a racing mind can have on the whole self. I use primarily mindfulness and cognitive behavioral therapy to help to slow the mind down and create space stillness, acceptance, and self-compassion.
We understand that those struggling with anxiety need a safe, validating, and empathetic therapeutic relationship. This is of utmost importance, and can give you the space you need to explore novel avenues of healing and growth.
