Anxiety Therapists in Newcastle, CA

Are you feeling lost, depressed or anxious? Is recent or past trauma disrupting your life? Are you consumed with distressing thoughts about food and/or your body? Maybe you are feeling overwhelmed with life stressors, struggling in your relationships or feeling disconnected from your values. Through therapy, I can offer you a non-judgmental, compassionate and trusting space to support you in exploring the areas of your life that are painful, overwhelming or unfulfilling. Using your values as a guide, we will establish goals to work through the barriers preventing you from achieving your happiest, healthiest and most authentic self.

My approach is one rooted in recognizing we all struggle with something and face challenges in life that we could use support through. Having been on both couch as a client and in the chair as a provider, I am fully aware of the vulnerability that growth requires and the importance of trust in the therapeutic relationship. I strive to show appreciation for each person I work with and to engage with clients in an authentic and comfortable way that is conducive to progress and change.

Are you ready for new growth? I believe that you have the innate capacity to heal, develop, and grow. Life can be stressful, and we may come across life experiences that unbalance and overwhelm us. Often the very painful issues such as anxiety, depression, difficulty with relationships, life stage transitions, trauma, illness, and lack of purpose/motivation may present as an opportunity for exploration, personal growth, and development. Therapy provides a safe haven for identifying inner conflicts, exploring feelings, and letting go of limiting patterns of negative beliefs and behaviors.

Are you feeling overcome by anxiety, depression, or simply the ever-present challenges of life? Maybe you're experiencing relationship conflict or life transitions that seems too difficult to navigate. Do you wrestle with making sense of suffering? Having a trained ear to help you process these thoughts, feelings, hurts, and conflicts can bring powerful relief. Seeking therapy does not make you weak. It actually shows a tremendous amount of strength and courage.

But, you are ready to make a change. You aren't going to let anxiety or low self-esteem keep you stuck anymore. You are ready to feel safe and confident and therefore have more fulfilling experiences, relationships, and more joy in life that you desire. I want to help you get there.

This is YOUR JOURNEY and YOU DESERVE specialized support …Are you having trouble functioning while experiencing unproductive anxiety symptoms, thoughts, feelings, actions? Are they working against you; controlling you, keeping you from experiencing the relationships and the life that you want for yourself? Are you trapped inside your mental health diagnosis? Many mental health challenges are rooted in past traumatic events and in fears of the future. How would you feel if past events didn't have a hold on you in a negative way? How would it feel to be in charge of your responses to your environment?

People seek therapy for a variety of concerns related to relationships, identity, spirituality, career, self-development, or life purpose. Others may be seeking relief from trauma, anxiety or depression. These pressures and demands can be chaotic and cause one to feel anxious, inadequate, depressed, or stuck. These very feelings can impact our functioning, relationships, and how we view ourselves. While we cannot change the nature of things, we can change how we perceive them and how we react. I will provide you with the tools you need to gain greater resiliency so past liabilities become your assets.

I enjoy working with clients who are driven to become their best selves whether that is in their careers and/or in their personal relationships. I will collaborate with you on what you can do to move forward but also push you at times to take those steps. I feel it's important for clients to get genuine feedback and also be challenged at times to confront their fears. My clients frequently cherish those moments as the most life changing.
