Are you finding it hard to cope with stress? Uncomfortable with uncertainty? Is your worry interfering with your ability to concentrate, leading to avoidance & procrastination? Maybe you've spent hours scrolling through Psychology Today profiles but froze when it was time to choose one. A part of you would do anything to avoid calling to book this appointment. I get it. But, your untreated anxiety or depression interferes with too many areas of your life—making it harder at work and in relationships. You're isolating because it all feels exhausting and overwhelming. Change is usually challenging for you, but this time, you're ready.
I'm ready too. We’ll work together to recognize how you’re responding to stressors in your life and introduce new skills to ease your anxiety/depression. We'll set manageable goals, increase your ability to self-regulate, identify thoughts and memories fueling your symptoms, and gain clarity and confidence using new internal resources.
I have professional and lived experience supporting neurodivergent adults (Autistic and ADHD) and those working in the creative, corporate, and tech industries. I use an integrative approach with top-down and bottom-up therapeutic tools to help calm/cope, and EMDR to desensitize/reprocess traumatic memories to reduce present-day symptoms.
