Anxieties in their many forms (social, separation, phobic, OCD) stem from feeling unsure and powerless in the world. I help people create and experience their own safety and agency despite the many changes in life.
To exist is to exist in a state of anxiety; I will work with you to uncover sources of anxiety as well as work to develop coping strategies and skills necessary to confront and disrupt anxiety triggers & thought patterns to persist and impact your day to day functioning.

Anxiety is the single biggest identifying factor that brings people to therapy. It can appear in a wide range of ways from panic attacks to intrusive and recurrent distressing thoughts to powerful fears and many many others. We recognize that anxiety typically grows out of life experiences including family of origin and internalized world views. We do not look merely to help mitigate symptoms but to through collaboration with you expand your perspective and challenge ways of thinking and behavior which are the fundamental; cause of much suffering and we are prepared to work with you closely to help.

These feelings can be overwhelming and debilitating, impacting various aspects of your life. Together, we will explore ways for you to overcome these feelings.

I help clients manage anxiety and fears by identifying and understanding their specific triggers and negative thought patterns. I teach techniques to challenge and change these thoughts, promoting more balanced and realistic thinking. I also guide clients in learning relaxation methods and gradually facing their fears to build confidence. This personalized approach helps clients gain control over their anxiety and fear, leading to improved overall well-being and resilience.
In my practice, I focus on helping you manage anxiety by using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and mindfulness techniques. My aim is to help you separate yourself from your anxious thoughts, finding freedom and relief from the grip of anxiety. I create a supportive and relaxed environment where authenticity and humor play a key role in making our sessions effective and approachable. If you’re ready to explore ways to manage your anxiety and regain control over your thoughts, let’s connect and start this journey together.
A lot of the individuals I work with experience anxiety. My goal is to work with you to identify triggers to your anxiety and how they affect your life. I strive to help you learn how to manage these symptoms through acceptance and mindfulness approaches.
