Anxiety is a normal emotion we all experience from time to time. However, if you’re experiencing relentless worry, hyper-vigilance, tension, or any other version of the word stress, it may be negatively impacting your life. Together, we will utilize a variety of evidence-based techniques in order to help you engage mindfully with your world and develop skills to effectively manage stress, anxiety, and/or panic.

I provide an affirming environment to hold space for concerns related to identity, body image, self-esteem, and LGBTQ+ support. You are welcome here, exactly as you are. We will explore and process your concerns in a collaborative, nonjudgmental, and gentle environment.

My passion is expressive arts and I am currently furthering my education in expressive arts in order to become a Registered Expressive Arts Therapist. What does “expressive arts” mean? Essentially, expressive arts are practices or processes that allow you to express yourself - thoughts, emotions, sensations, etc. - to the world. Examples of expressive arts practices/media are: yoga, breath work, mindful movement, drawing, painting, writing, collage, music, meditation, photography, and more.

I operate from a gentle, person-centered orientation and strongly believe in customizing treatment to fit each individual’s needs. I understand that we are all unique and have different strengths, and I hope to learn more about your strengths in order to create a plan specifically for you. While we are a team, you are the expert, and I firmly believe that only you know what is best for you.

Have you experienced something difficult that still feels charged when you replay the memory? No experience is too big or small. If you answered “yes,” you aren’t alone, and you may be feeling doubtful about the possibility for change. Together, we can use trauma-focused interventions and practices that help the brain heal by reorganizing information that becomes maladaptively stored or “stuck.” One example of this is EMDR, or eye movement desensitization and reprocessing.
