The panic attack ended, but the fear didn’t. You’ve tried all the breathing exercises, meditations, maybe even other therapy. And you still feel like you’re one crowded grocery store away from losing it. You’re not just struggling with panic attacks, but you’re living in fear of the next one. You’re not crazy or helpless. Your body just mixed-up adrenaline with danger. People come to see me feeling like they will never travel again, be present at their kids soccer game, or stop googling every weird anxiety sensation they feel. They’re frustrated that they can’t talk themselves out of a panic attack and they’re stuck fighting it.
After therapy, they've learned how to allow panic and break the fear of fear cycle. They stop fighting so hard to make sure they never feel anxious again. They have the confidence and trust in themselves that they can handle a panic attack anytime, anywhere. They're less caught up in what ifs and more present.
I help clients learn how to drop resistance to panic attacks and fully let them in so they no longer live in fear of the next one. I offer virtual sessions through video, with daytime hours available. I use a warm but direct approach to help clients drop their avoidance and get their life back from fear.

Treatment Approach
- Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) Helps people accept difficult thoughts and feelings instead of fighting them, while committing to actions that reflect their values. It blends mindfulness with practical behavior strategies.
- Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) A structured therapy that uses guided eye movements to help process traumatic memories. It is widely recognized for treating PTSD and trauma-related conditions.
Approach Description: My approach to therapy is warm, compassionate, collaborative, and rooted in evidence-based exposure therapy, including Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). I specialize in helping adults with panic disorder, panic attacks, and agoraphobia change their relationship with anxiety rather than constantly trying to control, fight, or eliminate it. Instead of focusing on coping skills or tricks to make panic go away, we'll work on understanding the fear, avoidance, and safety behaviors that keep you stuck. Through individualized exposure exercises, I'll help you gradually approach the sensations and situations you've been avoiding, reduce your reliance on reassurance and safety behaviors, and learn that you don't have to let anxiety dictate your decisions. My goal isn't to teach you how to never experience panic again. It's to help you become so much less afraid of it that you can travel, drive, go places, and enjoy your life without constantly worrying about having another panic attack. I believe recovery is about building the freedom to live your life, even when anxiety shows up.
Whether you're coping with a traumatic delivery, struggling after a NICU stay, or grieving the loss of a pregnancy or baby, this is a space for real relief and restoration. You don’t have to carry this alone. Healing is possible—and it starts with the right support.
