I hold a Master's in Professional Counseling and I'm certified in Accelerated Resolution Therapy, which I use to process the buried stuff that's fueling your anxiety from underneath. I'm also certified in functional hormone health, because if your anxiety is rooted in a hormonal imbalance or nutritional deficiency, no amount of cognitive reframing is going to fix that. 

I've trained through the Somatic Wilderness Therapy Institute for nature-based work, and I hold certifications in yoga, coaching, and personal training. I also know what perfectionism feels like from the inside. I've lived it.

If you’ve been handed coping skills and breathing exercises and sent on your way, I get why you're skeptical. In our session, we’ll look at your body, your cycle, your nutrition, your family system, the roles you've been playing since childhood, and the beliefs you absorbed before you were old enough to question them. We also build practical systems for your time, your money, your routines. 

This isn't fifty minutes of talking about your feelings once a week. We look at the whole picture of you—mind, body, and soul—to help you live a more fulfilled, nourished life.

Honestly? You might be both. Stress is situational. You have a deadline, you're stressed, the deadline passes, you feel better. Anxiety is more like replaying conversations in your head, a tightness in your chest, or an inability to relax even when nothing is observably wrong. If your brain is running worst-case scenarios while you're trying to watch a movie, that's probably not just stress. We can talk about it during our consultation call.

You're busy because you say yes to everything and put yourself last. (I say that with love.) Most of my clients choose 90-minute sessions because they'd rather go deep once a week than skim the surface. We start weekly for a minimum of 6 to 12 weeks and then adjust based on how you're doing. As part of our work, we can do a time assessment together and figure out where the space is, because it's there. You've just been filling it with everyone else's stuff. I promise you have time in your week to take care of you, and I’m going to encourage you to make that a priority.

No. Your job isn't the problem. How you're functioning inside your job might be. We look at how perfectionism is running your work life, where your boundaries are (or aren't), and why external achievements feel like a checkbox instead of something worth celebrating. Sometimes we figure out you need to set better boundaries at work. Sometimes we figure out you need to advocate for a raise. Sometimes we figure out you've outgrown the role. But I'm not going to tell you to blow up your career. I'm going to help you figure out what you want and trust yourself to make the call.

I don't believe you should be in therapy forever. We start weekly for a minimum of 6 to 12 weeks so we can build momentum. From there, we adjust. Most of my clients eventually move to every other week because they don't need me as often, and that's the whole point. Some take a break and come back when something new comes up. Some stick around every other week because they like having the space as their self care time. But I see therapy as a season of your life, not a permanent subscription. The goal is for you to trust yourself enough that you don't need me in the room to figure it out.

That's the perfectionism talking. You don't need to hit rock bottom to deserve support. You don't need a diagnosis. You don't need a crisis. If your brain won't stop running, your chest is tight, you're not sleeping, and you're exhausting yourself trying to hold it all together, that's enough. You don't need a permission slip to take care of yourself. You're allowed to ask for help (and actually receive it).

Yes. And if it's working for you, great, we keep it. What I will do is ask when you last had bloodwork done, because long-term use of some SSRIs can contribute to nutritional deficiencies nobody mentioned to you. Same with birth control. That's not me telling you to stop taking anything. That's me making sure your body has what it needs to do its job while the medication does its. Sometimes we figure out that your anxiety has a physiological root underneath it that the medication is managing but not addressing. Sometimes we find out everything is functioning the way it should and we get to work on the stuff that's bugging you. Either way, you walk out with more information than you walked in with, and I'd rather you make decisions about your body from a full picture than a partial one.
