How can I help you?

I specialize in working with adults struggling with anxiety and some of the common co-occurring issues that can exist alongside those intense feelings of overwhelm.

I focus on helping those who tend to put their own needs on the back burner.  Self-neglect, over-responsibility, no boundaries, always saying "yes", unable to relax, feeling tense or sick to your stomach - if any of that sounds familiar, you've come to the right place. 

I will always cater to your individual needs and consider myself an "eclectic" therapist with a quirky side! I often use the following modalities when working with clients:

​

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (the fancy name for "shifting mindset" and "identifying common thought distortions that cause us a whole lot of pain) 

Somatic Therapy (the fancy name for understanding how trauma can impact us on a mind/body level - and how getting back into our bodies can be a powerful way of healing)

Internal Family Systems (the fancy name for saying we're going to get in there and figure out why we think, feel and behave in certain ways based on the things we've experienced in life)

Attachment Theory (the fancy name for connecting early childhood experiences with current patterns, especially in relationships)

Solution Focused (this one is exactly how it sounds - we collaborate to help you set attainable changes to get the results you are seeking)

​Jungian Shadow Work (the fancy way of saying we are going to try to uncover the things we try really hard to push away or feel ashamed of- that stuff becomes toxic to us and like Hagrid says in Harry Potter "Better out than in.")

​
