Anxiety

Great to meet you!

Are you filled with anxiety and don’t know how to make it stop? Is your mood down and you can’t seem to shake it? Perhaps you’re struggling to find purpose. The good news is that you can find balance again. Therapy can help you manage your mental health, overcome life stressors, manage your emotions, and improve coping skills. Stop the over-thinking, ruminating, and negative self-talk, that leads to constant stress & worry. As a team, we can work together on improving your mental health.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I believe each person is unique and everyone’s needs are different. That's why I take an empathetic, individualized approach to therapy. I place emphasis on individual strengths while incorporating psychotherapy with evidence based cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). My goal is for you to gain insight, increase coping skills and gain overall wellness.

What you can expect from our first session

I understand that reaching out for support can be difficult, even scary. I provide a safe space for you to be your authentic self. I maintain a supportive, judgement free environment for my clients. I look forward to seeing you grow, achieve your goals & live you best life. You deserve to get back to feeling like yourself!
