It feels like you can never do anything right.
You’re not sure what contributes to that feeling more — the expectations of others or the critical voice in your own head. In moments when you could be resting or relaxing, you feel nervous or tense but can’t put a finger on why. When you are able to pinpoint what’s stressing you out, you find it difficult to focus on or think about anything else.
Maybe you’ve even started feeling physically sick from worrying at times — breaking a sweat, trembling, breathing rapidly, heart beating out of your chest, or feeling nauseous. You lose sleep because you can’t seem to quiet the racing thoughts and images of worst-case scenarios. Even at the beginning of the day, you feel tired and weak. Throughout the day, you’re detached at best…and panicking at worst.
Often, you ask those around you if they’re upset with you, or apologize for things that are out of your control. You tell people you’re fine when you really just want to disappear. You’re not alone in these feelings, and there is a way through them and into a life where you genuinely feel like your best is good enough.
You do deserve joy. Therapy can help you find it again.

MY APPROACH
Let’s get to the root of anxiety so you can finally feel better.
It takes real courage to seek out more fulfillment and happiness for yourself — if you’re reading this, you should feel proud of taking this first step. Through therapy, you’ll come to embrace the fact that there’s nothing wrong with you or the feelings you’re having. Together, we’ll uncover the qualities in you that can help you toward the future you want, and build on them.
Anxiety is not your intuition, but it’s easy to confuse them.
We’ll explore how your anxiety today could be linked to things from your past. Sometimes these things are so ingrained that we believe they are facts, but you’ll learn how to ground yourself in what’s real and true.
You’ll be able to communicate your feelings without being ashamed of them and I’ll teach you tools and skills to help manage anxiety when it arises in the moment. You’ll feel like you know yourself better than ever, and will stop comparing yourself to others so you can focus on getting what you want and need out of life.
Give yourself permission to take care of you.
Find the relief & peace of mind you’ve been missing.
