Life is full of setbacks and upsetting, challenging experiences that can leave us feeling anxious, down, stuck and not like ourselves. Maybe you struggle in your relationship? Perhaps painful memories weigh heavy on your mind and heart. Have you tried therapy before but have found that it has not helped in the ways that you had hoped? If so, I would love to talk to you more about how I can help. My aim is to help you embrace and trust yourself, to find freedom from painful past experiences and ultimately to feel empowered to create the life that you desire.
I specialize in treating trauma and anxiety and work with adolescents, adults and the LGBTQIA+ community. Talk therapy alone is often not enough to help alleviate distressing emotions like PTSD symptoms or anxiety which is why I often integrate "somatic experiencing", which aims to restore/heal where trauma responses reside in our bodies.
It takes courage to start therapy and begin a journey of healing and self-discovery. If you are interested in getting started, give me a call, email me or visit my website to schedule an appointment.
