Living with anxiety and depression is like walking around with a rain cloud of negative thoughts over your head at all times. When your mind gets caught in this downward spiral, it feels impossible to climb out. It may have even started affecting your normal day to day life – in school, work, or even your relationships. The feelings of agitation, tension, worthlessness and guilt prohibit you from moving forward, accomplishing tasks, and being at your best. Often times, you may even wonder if you’ll ever be your “best” again, or if this path of darkness is your new normal. As a therapist, I am here to help you reclaim your life.
What does your ideal life look like? Is it peaceful, bright and full of joy? Perhaps it involves healthy relationships, easier decision making, and a powerful sense of self-worth. Imagine what it would feel like to overcome whatever is currently keeping that rain cloud over your head. I know it’s possible, because I see life-changing breakthroughs every day!
I use proven techniques to help adolescents and adults with anxiety and depression find inner peace. I also specialize in treating individuals struggling with eating disorders and body image issues.
