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.

Do you find yourself struggling with memories of past events, anxiety, feelings of worthlessness, or difficulty connecting to others? Trauma leaves a profound and lasting impact, and healing requires: compassion, understanding, and support. I believe that people don’t develop habits or ways of viewing the world that didn’t, at least at some point, serve and/or protect them. Oftentimes, what once was previously beneficial becomes the reason someone seeks services, because it’s no longer helpful or needed. I want to support you to feel empowered, befriend your emotions, trust yourself, and take back control of your life.

“Never give up on someone with a mental illness. When “I” is replaced by “We”, illness becomes wellness” Shannon L Alder. The stress from everyday life can be overwhelming for people of any age, and it can come from a surprising number of sources. Prolonged stress can lead to depression and anxiety, and we may not be sure where it’s coming from or what to do about it. If you are feeling hesitant about starting therapy, know that asking for help is a sign of strength and not weakness.

Life can be complicated, difficult, and sometimes unexpected. Let’s agree that life is “messy.” Therapy can be a powerful tool and experience that can help you through those challenging times. Some of that “messiness” might look like issues in relationships or difficulties at home or work. You may also be feeling lonely, stuck, unmotivated, and overwhelmed.

Allowing yourself to be supported is the first step towards becoming your best self. However, without adequate support, overcoming feelings of sadness, overwhelm, disconnection or insecurity can be an exhausting and isolating experience. This is why I understand the importance of finding the right therapist. You may be seeking to feel truly heard and understood without judgment by someone you can trust to help you feel more grounded, confident, and satisfied in your everyday life. As a therapist, my main goal is to create that safe and trusting relationship to guide and empower you towards achieving ultimate personal growth.

We all go through adverse life experiences that can take a toll on our emotional well-being. The stress of the past can sometimes end up following us and continuing to drive how we feel and the decisions we make. However, these hardships that we go through do not have to end up hindering our functioning and stagnating our growth. I also specialize in depression, self-esteem, anxiety, women and cultural issues. I have expertise in working with individuals who have experienced physical, emotional and/or sexual trauma or neglect during their childhood.

People have within themselves a strength that may not always be obvious to them. They may be experiencing a loss. Many are unable to imagine life again. Then they discover some distant belief deep within, that they are able to survive and actually live forward. They choose to work with someone experienced, who genuinely cares about them. These individuals may or may not be aware of true choices. The goal may be simply to find some joy again, or even be that productive human being they have been unable to reach. They understand that change is constant, and often requires patience and gentle guidance.
