About me
I have been a licensed therapist for a little over 20 years. I work to create a safe and warm holding space in the therapy room and would consider our work together collaborative.
Are you feeling overwhelmed by anxiety or stress that disrupts your daily life? Do life transitions and change leave you feeling uncertain and struggling to find balance? These challenges can feel heavy, but together we can face them, helping you find hope and resilience for a more confident future. Knowledge is power, so you also might hear me incorporate information about how our brains (wired for survival) can influence anxiety, depression and other conditions, and how we could more effectively manage them.
I have specialized training in working with anxiety. Some ways anxiety can show up in our lives is constant worry, physical tension and avoidance. I work with clients to recognize and address their stress responses and help them learn new strategies for managing symptoms, including mindfulness strategies, hypnosis and exposure techniques.
