I firstly approach anxiety from a person centered lens that works to validate, hold and sit with a clients anxiety. Anxiety is unique its in origin because it does serve as a protective factors in its most primitive state however there is a tipping point where it becomes consuming, isolating and physically dsyregulating to the point that patients cannot sit with their symptoms. I hold both the space to process what it is like to live with anxiety and provide time and focus to not only work on challenging thought content and coping skills but also for patients to explore contributing past life events and experiences.

I have worked with individuals struggling with anxiety and Panic for 13 yrs and have seen a range of people from feeling helped by implementing a self-care routine (without medication), to of course managing with medication, to needing hospitalization due to not functioning at home. What I offer that can create positive results: *Mindfulness practices to remind your brain to refocus on the present moment. You mind can only focus on one thing. If it is focused on the present, it cannot be reliving the past or worrying about the future. Your body follows where your mind is. Staying in the present moment is really effective in decreasing activation in your body from anxiety. *Somatic Awareness to name how the anxiety presents itself in the body (your body) through physical symptoms. By knowing your emotions this way we can more easily recognize when we shift into that emotion (identify triggers) as well as what actions help to deactivate or balance that emotion (coping skills). *Art Therapy to reflect our inner world, into something we can see. This allows us to make new observations and process our experience in a different way than talk therapy can offer.

I believe that everyone has the power within them to create positive shifts in the way one experiences and expresses their emotions, in turn creating positive shifts and experiencing their world around them. My intention is to help you uncover your power. I have worked as an Art Therapist since 2009 in the mental health and substance abuse fields. Most recently, I have worked in an acute psychiatric hospital setting for the past 9yrs and have been in private practice for 5yrs. I am proud to have assisted 2 organizations in developing their first Art Therapy programs. In private practice I work mainly with adults who struggle with anxiety and/or depression. We practice mindfulness and somatic awareness skills together with art therapy to minimize the barriers that anxiety and depression create in my client's lives.

I find that understanding what anxiety is providing for you along with practicing a lot of different coping techniques works well in helping to manage those feelings.

Life can throw us a lot of curveballs! Even happy things like relationships, pregnancies, babies, new jobs, new moves, and new places can disrupt our mental health and leave us feeling anxious or depressed. If you’re feeling less like yourself, with anxious thoughts, trouble sleeping, trouble making decisions, difficulty motivating or just feeling like your new life wasn’t what you expected, a therapist can help get you on a new path towards healing and connection.  As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I help people learn new ways to manage feelings of anxiety and walk with you while you work through your life transitions. I help teens and adults like you struggling with your new world and help you look forward to the future again. I am also trained to work with kids, teens and adults manage Tourette’s with CBIT.

When working with patients who have anxiety, I use a calm, non-judgmental tone and focus on making them feel heard and safe. I normalize what they’re experiencing by reminding them that anxiety is common and treatable, and I let them guide the conversation at their own pace. I ask open-ended questions like, “What’s been weighing on you lately?” and “How is this affecting your day-to-day?” I offer reassurance and explore both natural and medical treatment options without pressure. My goal is to help them feel supported, informed, and in control of their care, one step at a time.

When working with clients with anxiety, I focus on the present moment rather than trying to pinpoint a single cause. Anxiety comes from many factors, like biology, life experiences, and environment. Instead of analyzing its origins, we’ll explore how it shows up in your life today and what it can teach you about your needs and values. Our goal is not to eliminate anxiety but to help you develop a healthier relationship with it, building skills to move toward what truly matters to you, even with anxiety present.

I am on a continual search for understanding what it truly means to be human.​ I believe that each of us carries an inner wisdom that guides us toward growth and authenticity. In a world full of distractions and external pressures, it’s easy to lose touch with that voice. In our work together, I’ll help you reconnect with yourself, uncover what really matters to you, and make choices that reflect your values and needs.
