About My Clients

Anxiety is making life impossible right now! Maybe you are pregnant or postpartum and feeling panic in accepting these changes. Perhaps the "newborn bliss" isn't all you thought it would be. Maybe you spend your nights awake thinking of every worst-case scenario or trying to figure out when you will finish all the "to dos". Perhaps you are feeling a general sense of stress or burnout from work, school, or life in general. If you are ready to make a change, I am here to help.

My Background and Approach

Clients come to me because I blend professionalism with a laid-back, easy-to-talk-to approach. I know what it feels like to be stuck in anxiety and my goal is to support you to feel relief and get back to enjoying life instead of worrying about it. As a new mom, I recognize the emotional ups and downs that show up every day! I blend tools from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Solution Focused to help you understand WHY anxiety or stress shows up and to then learn tools to help deal with it when it shows up. My goal is to help you understand yourself better and to create a toolkit of strategies that you can use outside of therapy to help when anxiety gets in the way. I love working with women who are feeling stuck and pulled into a spiral of anxiety, worry, or stress. Let's get you out of that stress cycle NOW!

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

As someone who personally understands what anxiety feels like, I recognize the obstacle it can be and the hard work involved in getting back in control of your life. I also know that there is always a chance to understand ourselves better and be more compassionate towards the parts of ourselves that we just don't like. Change is always possible if you want it! I am here to guide you to find that person and feel more in control and confident in your life, relationships, and in navigating any anxiety or stress that may be getting in the way. I understand that therapy can be vulnerable and challenging at times, but I will be here to support you through each step of the journey towards growth and healing. Taking time for yourself is the first step in prioritizing your well-being and creating positive change.
