Great to meet you!

Have you ever found yourself saying or doing something, in frustration, anger, or fear, and afterward thought to yourself: Why did I do/say that?! That’s not me!. For some of us, early life experiences have left us with sensitivities that can be triggered by situations or people, and we find ourselves lashing out at others or ourselves. Afterward, we are left in confusion as to the source of our behavior, and may be plagued with self-doubt, shame, or depression. It can leave us feeling helpless.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I help adults with anxiety, worry, fear, shame, and poor self-image to overcome and triumph over difficult or abusive childhoods. Using Mindfulness- and Body-based therapies, we will work together to explore the roots of these triggers; the sensitive, hypervigilant “parts” that cause you to react in ways that seem inexplicable and out of character to your present-day self. It’s hard work, but exciting and rewarding.

What you can expect from our first session

I know what it is to be overwhelmed by anxiety. I spent years allowing Anxiety to rule my life and lead me into deep depression and a sense of hopelessness. You deserve to have peace. You deserve to believe in yourself and like yourself. If you’re ready to get to work, contact me to start finding your peace and reclaiming your joy.
