I see entering therapy as sacred work. I view relationships as our biggest vehicles of growth in life and believe every relationship has something that can be learned from it to help us embrace more of who we really are. I specialize in individual, couple and sex therapy, as well as trauma.
Feelings of anxiety and fear can evoke a wide range of intense emotions and sensations, which can vary depending on an individual’s personality, severity, and the circumstances triggering these emotions. 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 with anxiety identify their fear and worry patterns, understand where these thoughts may have come from in their lives, and create new ways of thinking that are more balanced and supportive. Creating anxiety management tools that help reduce physical anxiety symptoms in the moment means that my clients build realistic and useful coping strategies that help them feel better when anxiety peaks. We cannot eliminate anxiety or fear from our life but we can learn to understand our anxiety as a piece of us and ultimately appreciate who we are as a whole person.
None of us is immune to anxiety and I believe we need a certain amount of anxiety in order to get out of bed each morning and to push ourselves to meet all that we have to accomplish in a given day. Balance, however, is essential. Too much anxiety immobilizes and stymies us, but too little can also create complications for motivation, productivity, goal-setting, and self-esteem.
What are the anxious thoughts or feelings that cause you the most distress? Shining light on difficult feelings and understanding where they come from can lesson the distress. My role is to be a supportive presence, as well as an analytical one, in order to develop new ways of coping with anxiety and fear.
When working with anxiety or fears, my goal is to provide some relief for symptoms while also helping you to develop a more in depth understanding of your own anxiety. For many people, this work will involve components of mindfulness work, while also working to shift your relationship with your anxiety.

The world is straight-up a scary place right now, with uncertainty, political unrest, climate change, just everything. So in therapy, we work to validate what we can actually do about all of it and find a way to balance accepting that some amount of anxiety is inevitable, while still living life in a way that feels authentic and full.
