Is anxiety taking over your life? Does it feel like you can’t control it no matter how hard you try? Have you been experiencing panic attacks?

If this sounds like you, I’m confident I can help. My practice offers the most effective forms of treatment, to get the relief from anxiety and panic that you deserve.

When it comes to treating anxiety disorders, research shows that therapy is usually the most effective option. That’s because anxiety therapy – as opposed to anxiety medication – treats more than just symptoms to the problem.

Often, these are the symptoms of anxiety:

• Nervousness, restlessness or being tense

• Feelings of danger, panic or dread

• Rapid breathing or hyperventilation

• Increased or heavy sweating

• Trembling or muscle twitching

• Weakness or lethargy

• Difficulty focusing or thinking clearly about anything other than the thing you’re worried about

• Insomnia

• Obsessions about certain ideas, a sign of obsessive-compulsive disorder

• Anxiety surrounding a particular life event or experience that has occurred in the past, a sign of post-traumatic stress disorder

Therapy can help to uncover the underlying causes of your worries and fears, learn how to relax, look at situations in a new, less frightening way, and develop better coping mechanisms and problem-solving skills.

If you suffer from an anxiety or panic disorder, I invite you to contact me today for a free consultation.

ddiction—whether to substances or behaviors like gambling, sex, or shopping—often begins with experimentation or coping in response to stress or emotional pain. Over time, what may start as occasional use or engagement can become more frequent, eventually leading to a dependency where the behavior is needed just to feel okay or function in daily life.

Drug addiction symptoms & behaviors include, among others:

• Feeling the need to use the drug regularly, which can be daily or multiple times a day

• Having intense urges for the drug

• Over time, needing more of the drug to get the same effect

• Making certain that you maintain a supply of the drug

• Not meeting obligations and work responsibilities

• Doing things you wouldn’t normally do to get the drug, such as stealing

• Focusing more and more time and energy on getting and using the drug

• Experiencing withdrawal symptoms when not using the drug

• Failed attempts to quit using the drug

If you can relate to any of the above symptoms or behaviors, it may be time to consider addiction counseling.

As an addiction counselor, I will address the symptoms of your addiction and the related areas of impaired functioning, and together we’ll structure the time and content of your ongoing recovery.

I believe that there are many paths to successful recovery that will work with your goals and desires, and ensure you can make the life changes you want to make. Contact me today for a free consultation.

Grief and loss affect us all at some point in life—and yet, the experience can feel incredibly isolating.

More often than not, grief begins with shock, disbelief, or numbness. As time passes, emotions may shift into sadness, anger, guilt, or deep fatigue. For some, the loss becomes all-consuming, making it difficult to function, connect with others, or find meaning in daily life.

When someone we love is grieving, we want to offer comfort and support. But even the deepest care can sometimes feel like it’s not enough. Grief isn’t something we ‘fix’—it’s something we learn to carry.

Common signs of grief may include:

• Persistent sadness or tearfulness

• Irritability or anger

• Withdrawal from others

• Difficulty sleeping or concentrating

• Fatigue or lack of motivation

• Feelings of guilt or regret

• Physical symptoms such as headaches or stomach pain

• A sense of emptiness or disconnection from life

If this sounds like what you or a loved one is going through, it may be time to seek grief counseling.

As a grief-informed therapist, I provide a safe, supportive space to process your loss at your own pace.

Together, we’ll explore the emotional, physical, and spiritual layers of grief, while integrating practices that promote healing, meaning-making, and nervous system regulation.

There’s no right way to grieve—but you don’t have to do it alone. Contact me today for a free consultation.

Trauma can take many forms—sometimes it’s a single overwhelming event, and other times it’s the accumulation of experiences that left you feeling unsafe, unseen, or out of control. Whether it stems from childhood, relationships, systemic harm, or high-stress environments, trauma can deeply impact how you think, feel, and relate to others and the world around you.

Over time, unresolved trauma can show up as anxiety, panic, chronic stress, shame, emotional numbness, or feeling constantly on edge. Even when the original threat has passed, your nervous system may still be operating in survival mode.

Signs of unresolved trauma may include:

Hypervigilance or a constant sense of danger

Emotional overwhelm or shutdown

Difficulty trusting others or forming close relationships

Intrusive thoughts or flashbacks

Avoidance of people, places, or memories

Shame, guilt, or self-blame

Sleep disturbances or physical symptoms without clear cause

Feeling disconnected from yourself or your body

If this sounds familiar, please know you’re not alone—and healing is possible.

As a trauma-informed therapist, I create a safe and supportive space for you to explore your experiences at your own pace. Using mind-body approaches grounded in nervous system regulation, somatic work, and compassionate inquiry, I help clients move from survival to self-connection and empowerment.

You don’t have to keep carrying it all alone. Reach out today to learn more or schedule a free consultation.
