Anxiety Treatment
Do you find yourself overthinking things, feeling drained or on edge, or avoiding activities that are enjoyable, meaningful, or necessary? Now more than ever, people are feeling anxious from younger ages. I am passionate about helping people experience relief from anxiety and live in ways that are consistent with their goals and values.
During our treatment, you will learn to identify the thoughts and behaviors that contribute to anxiety, strengthen self-soothing and problem-solving skills, gradually face your fears, and draw on your strengths and resilience to cultivate distress tolerance.
Child Therapy
Watching your child struggle is one of the most difficult things. But it’s wonderful that you’re seeking support for them. I work with children and teens to teach them coping strategies to manage big feelings and to develop brave behaviors. I also provide parent coaching to teach caregivers practical, research-backed strategies that will help them support their child’s emotional growth and mental health. Using evidence-based therapies tailored to each child’s unique needs, I help children and parents feel more confident, capable, and empowered.
