Have family members told you you "need to relax" or you "need to stop worrying"? Have you avoided therapy because you were taught to not believe in it? Anxiety can rob you of life's greatest joys and keep you stuck in the "what ifs". You don't have to suffer alone. You are not broken and you are capable of change. Family systems, culture and stigma prevent people who need help from getting help. You would never walk around on a broken leg but you have been avoiding seeking help for your anxiety such as perfectionism, intrusive thoughts, people-pleasing and difficulty relaxing.
I can help you live with your anxiety as you become comfortable in therapy, prioritizing your mental health and addressing patterns that have held you back from the life you want to live. I trust my skills will bring you symptom relief with some work on both our parts. I bring compassion and skill and you bring your life experience and strengths.
Email or call me if you're seeking a place to feel accepted, heard and validated. We will talk through your concerns to see if I'm a good fit for your needs. You can expect to hear back from me within 48 hours of your inquiry. Take the next step. There is hope.

I specialize in treating anxiety with evidence based treatment in 12-16 sessions, though some stay in treatment longer. We will set an agenda and develop treatment goals. We will work together to see how our brains can trick us into believing things that aren't true (i.e I'm not worthy, I'll never get better) and how to change thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms.
