Therapy is a collaborative journey of self discovery and integration. Its aim is wholeness. I draw on a variety of therapeutic frameworks (EMDR, DBT, motivational interviewing, strengths based work) to meet individuals where they are at and help them identify strengths and areas of growth in their life.
Together we look at how thoughts, feelings and beliefs intersect with our life transitions and relational patterns and how they contribute to our sense of well being, or misalignment. By uncovering the needs under our feelings, we learn to take personal responsibility for expressing ourselves accurately and authentically, allowing us to feel heard, valued and understood.

If anxiety has been calling the shots in your life — keeping you from doing things you love, making you second-guess yourself, or trapping you in a cycle of "what ifs" — you've come to the right place.
I'm an anxiety specialist, and I've dedicated my practice to helping people just like you take their life back from anxiety, phobias, OCD, and intrusive thoughts. I know how exhausting it is to feel like your own mind is working against you. The good news? It doesn't have to stay that way. You are not your anxiety, and with the right tools, you don't have to let it make your decisions anymore.
I genuinely love this work. There's nothing more rewarding than watching someone realize they have more power over their anxiety than they ever thought possible — and I'd love the chance to help you experience that too.
