Anxiety. It’s such a pain. It traps you in your head, making you replay conversations and endlessly second-guess yourself. Instead of feeling connected in the moment, your mind is elsewhere, tangled in self-doubt, worrying if you came across the wrong way. This constant inner chatter makes it impossible to relax. You wish you could embrace joy, make meaningful connections, and just c h i l l, but you don't know how. I’ll help you quiet the noise, so you can feel comfortable in your own skin and finally feel like you belong in every room you enter.
I specialize in therapy for ambitious but overwhelmed professionals and college students, to help relieve anxiety, elevate self-esteem, and cultivate meaningful relationships. My approach is direct, unstuffy, and designed to get to the heart of what’s keeping you stuck. With 25+ year’s experience, I offer convenient, virtual therapy tailored to your needs.
Building on your strengths, we'll work towards lasting transformation, not just minimizing symptoms. Enrich your life, face challenges with compassion, and transition from worrier to warrior. You deserve to feel better. Let’s connect to ensure I’m the right therapist for you. Visit my website and complete the contact form for a free consultation call.
