About…

Anxiety, anger, and panic are all normal and useful responses that we experience as humans. If you’re feeling stuck in any of these feelings it might seem like you don’t have a choice in how you manage them, and they can become limiting, overwhelming, and inconvenient. At best, you’d probably like to not experience these things at all, since it’s normal for us to want to avoid what’s painful, and feeling trapped only makes it worse. “I can’t”, “I should” and “I have to” are familiar phrases that lead us into situations that can make us feel activated or unsafe. With awareness of our needs we can become more choiceful and responsive.

I’ll work with you on when and how you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or panicked through examples from your everyday life, bringing that awareness to the here-and-now. Since no two people have the same story, working with what comes up in the present moment helps create a map of how you become activated and what self-support looks like for you.

I aim for a practical, collaborative, and down-to-earth approach to therapy. I understand that it might feel daunting to reach out for help, however if you relate to what I’ve said above I would enjoy meeting you for a consultation.
