The Diathesis-Stress model of psychology suggests, GENETICS load the gun and the ENVIRONMENT pulls the trigger. As human beings, we are all biologically vulnerable to experience mental health disorders, although they may manifest in different ways and to different levels of severity. At the same time we are all exposed to environmental stressors that can interact with our predispositions. With any therapist, it is important to develop SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, and Timely) goals that allow us to gain insight into our vulnerabilities and surroundings, to better understand why we react the way that we do.

Struggling to navigate your 20s or 30s? Feeling overwhelmed or stuck in a negative cycle that you can't seem to get out of? Sick of being so hard on yourself, but no matter what you do, you still don't feel good enough? Wondering why being an "adult" seems so tough, while everyone else seems to have figured it out? You’re not alone in feeling anxious, lost, or stuck. If it feels like you've tried everything, and the support of friends and family hasn’t been enough, it's time for a change.

I help people in challenging relationships clarify what is going on and find their path back to feeling cared for, respected, and loved. Anxiety is tiring. It is always there, nagging: “What if ...., What if ...?" You want to feel at peace – to breathe in and out, have space, and not feel pressured. Anxiety hijacks your thoughts and squeezes the space out. Things get tight. Time is short, money is short, and relationships are at risk. We will work together to understand your anxiety better. You can’t know it well when you run away from it, or it runs you. We will help you get back in control, feel at peace, and enjoy your life.

I specialize in the treatment of anxiety and obsessive-compulsive behaviors. In my approach, we target the “why” behind your anxiety, where it comes from, and how we can get your to a place where you feel less doubts, more confident, and empowered to know what to do when fear strikes.
