If anxiety has you stuck in overthinking, self-criticism, or the same patterns you can't seem to break, you don't have to keep pushing through it alone. I help adults understand the "why" beneath their anxiety and self-doubt — and build practical tools to create real, lasting change, not just temporary relief.

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 15 years of experience. Alongside anxiety, I help you navigate the relationship challenges that anxiety so often touches, building the skills that restore connection and ease. If you're motivated and ready to do meaningful work, I'd love to collaborate.

Expect our sessions to be interactive and engaging — I ask questions and offer direct feedback that sparks deeper insight, because understanding why you think and react the way you do is what makes change last. My work happens on two levels at once. First, we get to the root of the thought patterns and beliefs driving your anxiety, since our thoughts shape our actions. Second, I make sure you leave with practical tools for real-world relief — managing anxiety, coping with stress, and working through difficult emotions. I draw on evidence-based methods including CBT and EMDR, tailored to what you actually need.

My work is rooted in honesty — it's the foundation of trust, and trust is what creates a safe space to face the things you most want to change. In our first session, you'll share your story and the growth you're hoping for, and we'll set clear goals together for the work ahead. You won't be doing this alone; we'll move forward as a team, at a pace that respects where you're starting from.
