Carried away again in a panicked flurry of searching and scrolling. You’re worried and you want answers. You want to be sure. It’s just skin irritation, but another part of you can't help but think it's the latest killer infectious disease. It’s normal to have a bit of nerves before a big test or presentation, but when you were in school, those feelings would start a full week ahead of time. And often they would be accompanied with being unable to sleep and an upset stomach. Feeling anxious all the time is exhausting. When the phrase "what if" won't get out of your head, it's time to reach out for some extra help.

The most common need I hear from clients is that they have done a lot of talk therapy in the past and they are stuck. I get it. That's the client I'm excited to work with. My ideal client is one who wants to do the work because I show up for my half of the therapeutic relationship. I bring my varied 24 years of experience to every session. My specialties are complex trauma and addiction, and this also encompasses obsessive overthinking, chronic low self-confidence, generalized anxiety, relationship issues, etc. Therapy is a team effort to make lasting changes outside of the therapy environment.
