Most of my clients come to therapy with anxiety and fear dictating their lives in various ways. They are likely avoiding certain situations, or enduring them with great distress, and they may also feel down or depressed because their anxiety prevents them from living the life they want.
I help my clients to better understand themselves and their anxiety, learn coping skills, and connect with their values. I support and guide them in gradually facing their fears, and in essentially taking back their life. I aim for them to feel heard, understood, and supported, and to achieve the tangible goals they set out for in therapy.
My approach offers compassionate, collaborative, and individually-tailored care based on approaches shown to be the most effective in research. Along with warmth and caring, I bring over 25 years of experience in helping people with various anxieties.
