I begin with the premise that most of us have anxiety; anxiety is a pretty common experience. From there, we can take a look at how anxiety shows up in your life, how you may feel it is getting in your way, what you’ve tried or are trying. Additionally, I offer various ways to manage and reduce anxiety that may not have been tried. My approaches include reframing your thinking with mindfulness, EMDR, breathing techniques, in addition to other methods that make sense in your life.

I became a therapist as part of my own healing journey. I wanted to understand my own struggles, why I felt different and to have some clarity and relief from my struggles. My belief is that we’re all works in progress, with unique struggles and challenges for us each to work on towards self improvement.

In my experience therapy does not usually “fix” anyones problems in one session. Instead, it offers a path towards healing and can increase clarity about your life and relationships. Additionally, it can empower a person to begin understanding themselves and make better decisions for their own lives.

In my practice, I offer a supportive environment where you can share you story and experiences. I believe in understanding how our histories shape our current lives and relationships. At times there are events from our past that still need to be worked through. Also, knowing  how we work together is based on what you are wanting to work on. I use my experience, expertise, and knowledge to lead you to a path of a more fulfilled life. 

A typical session is structured on your needs and desired outcome, we then work towards meeting your needs and gaining an understanding of your path. During a session I  listen to understand your situation, your struggles and strengths and share ideas and approaches I feel may benefit you. I tend to offer feedback and may offer a challenge  at times, if I feel it will help you or get you closer to attaining your therapy goals.
