Hi! I’m passionate about helping people reduce the spiral of anxiety, connect with themselves and others, and heal from past hurt. To help clients, I often start by establishing stability - learning to ride the waves out. After some stability, we work on healing the inner systems by understanding how and why those waves affect you.

Life can feel overwhelming. Painful experiences, trauma, anxiety, and conflicts can alter life. It can lead us to shy away from vulnerability. We boast about independence and feel obligated to be everyone's 'person'. We often set high expectations. We decide we have to be the strong one, reliable one, the one to 'fix it.' Aiming for perfection that doesn't exist, all while silently struggling, feeling alone and exhausted, fighting for control, the ability to predict all while feeling nothing is predictable.

Shame expert, Brené Brown, puts it like this: “Shame loves secrecy. The most dangerous thing to do after a shaming experience is hide or bury our story. When we bury our story, the shame metastasizes.” You’ve been holding onto shame stories, weighing you down and consuming you; it’s torture. Shame paves the way for depression and anxiety, terrorizing your relationships, work, and personal life. I know you’d like to feel lighter, freer, and more connected and accepting of yourself. Let’s get you there.

Deadlines, demands, sickness. It feels like you can’t keep up. Everyone wants a piece of you and there is not enough to go around. You are exhausted and your mind won't shut off. The What if's overwhelm you... "What if I am not good enough? What if I let everyone down?" Your family, your job, your friends are counting on you. You may wonder, "When is it about what I need?" only to feel selfish and guilty about that too.

Maybe you are about to get married. Maybe you are in a relationship and haven't yet considered marriage. Maybe you've been married for 5, 13, even 35 years. Every relationship at some point experiences hardship and difficulty. It takes a lot of effort and energy to make a relationship succeed and stay close connected and intimate. Sometimes, it can be very difficult to find the energy, the will, or the motivation to truly give your heart to your partner. Whenever there is brokenness, my goal is to take those broken parts and bring them back together to make a whole relationship again.

Many people with anxiety attempt to control their thoughts, avoid, or perform behaviors to prevent unease or a negative outcome, only for worry to return. This feels intuitive, but actually prolongs distress long-term by reinforcing the ideas of intolerance and that there is something to fear. It's human nature to experience some discomfort. With Exposure Therapy, you can gradually minimize fears with support and thrive *in spite of* discomforts the brain, body, & life send your way. Let's replace the confinements of certainty with the freedom of uncertainty.
