Introduction

Does worrying get in the way of day-to-day life? Are seemingly small tasks overwhelming? Do changes feel too much to handle? Is food a source of comfort for you? Maybe you feel that it is easier just to deal with everything by avoiding, procrastinating, overeating, or drinking alcohol. These behaviors often lead to feeling guilty, ashamed, or discouraged. To cope with those feelings, you might avoid the situation, eat, or drink… and the cycle begins again. You feel stuck and struggle to see how to break this pattern. I help adults who feel overwhelmed and anxious develop tools and confidence so they can feel more grounded, empowered, and capable of navigating life’s challenges. I strongly believe that trust in the therapeutic relationship is essential to effective therapy. You will likely open up more with a therapist you connect with and trust. I strive to be that therapist for you. I want to help you learn to feel better and find your value and confidence. We will collaborate as a team to overcome obstacles and develop self-compassion. While you are the expert on yourself, I use a variety of interventions and tools to help you achieve your goals. Everyone has different preferences and I tailor treatment to what YOU need. Clients tell me I am empathetic, calming, non-judgmental, real, and a bit funny. ;) There is a likely possibility one of my dogs or cat will join our video session.
