I am passionate about the work that I do: helping others enhance their lives in meaningful and lasting ways. You might feel stuck--maybe exhausted--from a struggle with anxiety, stress, and/or depression, leading to a less fulfilling and smaller world around you. Many of us never learned what to do with emotionally or physically distressing experiences; in fact, we're often told to "get over it", "don't worry," or "just do it," which is rarely helpful. It is possible, however, that despite your best efforts, the ways that you are reacting to painful thoughts, emotions, or sensations could actually be increasing your suffering.
I specialize in the assessment and treatment of anxiety and mood disorders. I am deliberate in my approach and use established treatment models as a foundation; from there, I consider a client's unique set of experiences, concerns, and goals and work collaboratively with the client to create her/hir/his path toward a more choiceful, meaningful life.
You are not alone; pain is part of the human condition. We can learn how to address our anxiety and mood so that they don’t get in the way of the life we want to live. Engaging in therapy can be hard work--in fact, it should be hard work. Change takes effort and time; it is also rewarding and empowering. I hope you will reach out with interest or questions.
