About My Clients
You spend most of your waking and even your non-waking hours holding yourself responsible for and trying to meet the needs of others whether you are at home, work, school, or engaging with your community. You give away your time and energy until you have nothing left. There is anxiety, depression, guilt and resentment and you feel stuck. You want to continue to work hard and do your best while also having some margin to relax and take care of yourself.
My Background and Approach
I have personal and professional experience in dealing with and managing anxiety. We will work collaboratively to identify and prioritize your goals and come up with a treatment plan that you are willing and able to follow through with. I work with women who are experiencing anxiety by helping them gain self awareness, identify their values, establish healthy boundaries and coping skills, and reframe unhelpful and guilt-inducing thoughts and beliefs. I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients get unstuck but include a variety of other resources as well. When working with clients with OCD I utilize exposure and response prevention.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
Those who experience anxiety and depression are often some of the kindest and most caring people. You are in tune with the needs of others. You work tirelessly for the good of those around you. You are smart, creative and thoughtful but the worry, fear, and overwhelm are getting in your way. While we will never fully "cure" anxiety we can definitely make it a small, non-threatening part of your life instead of the monster it currently is.
