About My Clients

Do you ever feel like you are swimming in uncharted territory and you just want someone to give you a map? My therapeutic approach provides the map, the tools, and the framework to help you with your version of personal growth. I specify this approach for adults with anxiety.

My Background and Approach

You have a toolbox. You have been using it all of your life. I will help you identify the tools that have been working for you, manage the ones that are not, and develop new ones for your new and emerging chapter. I will help you to gain insight, confidence, and character. This part of you is there right now and it always has been. It is just blocked by any combination of stress, trauma, grief, pain, etc. I will work with you break through that blockage so that you can emerge as the rockstar that you are.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe that everyone can benefit from therapy. Can you imagine a world where everyone saw a therapist once a week? Things wouldn't be perfect, but they would certainly be more balanced, more thoughtful, and more compassionate. This is because we all have the capacity for change. In conjunction, nothing scares me more than an elongated plateau in personal growth. That feeling of being stuck is one that is terrifying and also highly treatable. Just by visiting this site you have taken a step toward growth and change. Let's keep the process going.
