Do you feel like you are always worrying? Are you anxious all the time and unable to relax? Perhaps you feel the constant need for reassurance from others that you are going to be okay, or maybe you avoid going to certain places because they cause increased anxiety. Maybe you have tried therapy or breathing techniques before with no improvement. Regardless of what brought you here, you are ready to kick the extreme anxiety to the curb and stop spending your time worrying and overthinking.

Stress, trauma, disconnection, transition, stuckness. These are extremely difficult human experiences. Yet, our societies, cultures, and learned responses often tell us to move on, hide, or push away our real experiences. Having worked in a variety of international, educational, and clinical settings, I’ve been privileged to witness how exploring one’s challenges and pain can provide meaning, healing, and growth. Grounded in both the science and personalized applications of psychology and therapy, I believe the earlier we can process and make meaning of our experiences, the more meaningful life opportunities await.

“What happened to my happy child?” Parents often come to me feeling overwhelmed and confused by their child’s obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) or anxiety. Often it starts with a small fear – about something bad happening to Mom or Dad, about getting sick, about failing a quiz – but the anxiety grows over time and keeps your child from the calm and joy you wish for them. Your child may retreat and avoid people and situations that used to bring them happiness. Many parents do their best to help them regain control of their thoughts and emotions, but they become disheartened when their efforts seem to make no difference.

With all the therapists out there, choosing one can be overwhelming. Knowing how I conduct therapy and what values and beliefs fuel each session is essential. I believe that people are inherently capable of achieving their innermost desires and naturally want to evolve and heal. Sometimes, we face challenges that make us feel like things are impossible, but feelings don't constitute Truth. My job as your therapist is to guide you toward actualizing the inner strengths that you already have while teaching you new skills so you can live the best version of yourself.

Seeking a therapist can be the starting point towards the changes you want to make in your life. This process can be exciting and intimidating. An ideal therapist is one who is understanding, and offers clients a supportive environment. Building a positive self-image, developing healthy communication skills, strengthening relationships, and creating effective coping skills is our goal. I believe the relationship between a therapist and client is the strongest component of the therapy experience. Honesty and a straightforward approach is what you can expect. I love what I do, and I look forward to working with you.
