Anxiety is incredibly hard. The pit in your stomach, the tension in your body – the physical sensations are one thing, but the way it occupies your mind is another. You get stuck on a topic, ruminate endlessly, and end up fixed on the worst-case scenario. Living in the worst-case scenario is a scary place to be, and it can be hard to escape it. Nevertheless, your anxiety has helped you become a competent and reliable person – people tend to depend on you a lot. While part of you likes to do things your own way, you also sometimes resent being depended on so much. You want to be taken care of, too.

I know you’re anxious because you care deeply. You want things to be “right,” and that takes work. You spend a lot of energy wanting to do a good job, but that sometimes leads to overworking or people-pleasing behaviors. Despite all of your hard work, it somehow never feels like enough, and you’re burnt out.

In therapy, you will have an opportunity to slow down, process and reflect on the happenings of your everyday life. We’ll come to understand the root cause of your anxiety by exploring your early life experiences & relationships. Using evidence-based practices including mindfulness and cognitive-behavioral therapy, I will help you quiet the inner dialogue so you may achieve a greater sense of presence, trust, and self-confidence in your everyday life.
