We are a faith-based (Catholic) therapy practice, and our passion is to help you heal in order to fully live the life God created you for. Life can be difficult and there are many things that happen. Sometimes it is a diagnosis like anxiety, ADHD, or depression but other times it is too much stress, a life transition, or difficult relationships that causes hardship or pain. Maybe you do not even know what exactly the problem is. We will build awareness, learn and use various tools and strategies to cope, and build the support you need to maintain the positive change.

I work with adults struggling to find their inner strength due to trauma, anxiety, depression and life.
I don’t know what brought you to this website yet you are here for a reason. Understanding that reason is important to me. It takes courage to look for help. You’ve taken the first step! I’d be honored if you shared that journey of self-discovery with me.

With experience in anxiety, depression, ADHD, life transitions, suicidality, and identity development, I'm all about working together with clients to reach their goals.
Are you feeling overwhelmed? Unfulfilled in your relationships? Struggling to manage anxiety? Daily life can bring endless challenges. In therapy, we will broaden the perspective beyond daily encounters, delving into patterns, underlying causes, and systemic influences. We all perceive the world through a unique lens, and treatment for similar symptoms can vary greatly from person to person. I'm dedicated to creating a welcoming space that embraces LGBTQ+ people and trauma-informed care. Expect lots of empathy, open chats, and a sprinkle of humor to spark meaningful conversations.

Find out more about my practice, anxiety disorders, related conditions, and much more on my website and blog: http://verdandianxietyclinic.
The human experience of anxiety is normal and adaptive. We would not be adequately prepared for important challenges in life if we did not experience some anxiety and fear. Anxiety is not longer adaptive when it overpowers the person and creates obstacles and challenges that interfere with daily life. At this point, a diagnosable condition may have developed. I provide specialized treatment for adults with the various anxiety disorders, including social anxiety disorder (social phobia), generalized anxiety disorder, panic, specific phobias, and obsessive compulsive disorder. I also treat conditions that commonly occur with anxiety disorders like depression or sleep disturbance.

Some days can feel like a challenge even waking up and the world can feel like a daunting place. It can be increasingly difficult to stay in the present moment when your mind is moving a mile a minute and you may not know the next best thing. The future can bring about anxiety and the past can bring up sadness but the present moment can be just what it is. I work with clients to explore what it means to live a valued life from their own definition and how to implement that plan. The strength and power are already within you and I believe that you may be able to find it with a little support.
