I am a firm believer in the power of therapy to change lives for the better. Working with a combination of short term and long term goals, I aim to help you make adjustments to relieve difficulties now as well as make lasting changes. I approach therapy differently for each client in order to make the process most effective for you. Utilizing Cognitive Behavioral therapy, Dialectical Behavioral therapy, relational therapy and psychodynamic theory, I have developed a full spectrum of tools for you to employ. It’s important to me that we go at the pace that works for you in order to create the changes that you prioritize to create a more satisfying and productive life.
Do you struggle with anxiety that affects your day-to-day life? Do you feel overwhelmed by trying to get it all done and always feeling behind? Do you wonder if life could be easier? Now more than ever most people are feeling uncertain about how to manage anxiety and feel more engaged in their lives. I believe it shouldn’t be so hard to manage our stressors and to live with less anxiety. I offer CBT focused therapy for adults experiencing anxiety. I start with understanding where your anxiety is impacting you. I help you to understand the root of your anxiety and together we develop strategies to address the stressors and the stress itself. I offer practical solutions accompanied by a nonjudgmental space so you can take the first steps toward more calm. Getting clients to a more balanced life without the burden of anxiety is my passion. I will guide you to better sleep, more fulfilling time spent with loved ones and less worry. Send an email today for a free consultation and we’ll get started together.
