About Me
Overwhelmed by Anxiety? You’re Not Alone. Your anxiety is through the roof. You wake up every morning with a pit in your stomach—what used to feel like butterflies now feels more like moths. The overwhelm starts the moment your feet hit the floor. There’s too much to do, and you don’t even know where to start. You try to hold it together, but by 8:00 a.m., you’ve already snapped. No one listens. Your to-do list keeps growing. Even the dog looks at you like, Where’s my food? At work, you slip into your office, take a deep breath, and try to center yourself. You’ve got this, you tell yourself. But then the minutes slip away. Thirty minutes pass. Then an hour. And suddenly, you’re behind—again. The shame creeps in. Why can’t I get it together? You sit in meetings, frozen. Everyone else seems so smart, so confident, so full of ideas. And you? You just agree and go along, hoping no one notices you. You keep your head down, wondering why your best is never good enough. When you finally slow down, the anxiety and sadness come rushing in. Tears well up. Your face flushes. Your chest tightens. Your thoughts race: I’ll never get this right. I’ll never be enough. My life has always been chaos—will it ever get better? You want peace. You want relief. But you have no idea how to get there. There is a Way Forward—And You Don’t Have to Do It Alone I know how overwhelming anxiety can feel. But you don’t have to stay stuck in this cycle. I help people just like you find relief, ease, and control over their lives. Through a secure, judgment-free space, I’ll help you: ✔ Understand your anxiety and what triggers it ✔ Learn tools to calm your mind and body in the moment ✔ Process past experiences that keep you feeling stuck ✔ Regain confidence in yourself and your abilities ✔ Find lasting relief instead of temporary fixes How I Help: EMDR & Internal Family Systems Therapy I specialize in two powerful therapy approaches that work together to reduce anxiety and heal past wounds: EMDR Therapy: Rewiring Your Brain for Healing Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) helps process traumatic memories that may be keeping you stuck. If you’ve ever felt “frozen in time” or like certain thoughts and emotions won’t go away, EMDR can help. Using bilateral stimulation, EMDR allows your brain to reprocess distressing memories so they no longer control you. Many people experience significant relief from anxiety, stress, and trauma-related symptoms through this approach. Internal Family Systems (IFS): Understanding & Calming Your Inner World IFS therapy sees your mind as made up of different “parts” of you—some anxious, some critical, some that just want to escape. Instead of fighting these parts, IFS helps you understand them, work with them, and heal. This leads to a sense of inner harmony, self-compassion, and peace. Together, these therapies help you move from chaos to clarity, from anxiety to confidence. You Don’t Have to Keep Living Like This If you’re tired of feeling overwhelmed and stuck, let’s talk. You deserve peace, confidence, and support. Therapy isn’t about just venting—it’s about finding real relief and making meaningful changes. 📞 Schedule a free 15-minute consultation today and take the first step toward feeling like yourself again. [Link to Contact Page] FAQs What is EMDR, and how does it help with anxiety? 2. How is IFS different from traditional talk therapy? IFS helps you understand the different “parts” of your mind and how they interact. Instead of fighting your anxiety or shutting it down, IFS helps you work with it so you can heal. 3. How long does therapy take? It depends on your unique needs. Some clients find relief in a few months, while others prefer longer-term support. We’ll create a plan that works for you. 4. I’ve tried therapy before, and it didn’t help. What makes this different? Many people find that EMDR and IFS are more effective than traditional talk therapy because they work with how your brain processes emotions, rather than just talking about problems. 5. Do you offer virtual therapy? Yes! I offer both in-person and online therapy sessions to fit your needs. 6. Will therapy make me feel worse before I feel better? Sometimes healing involves working through tough emotions, but I provide a safe space and tools to help you manage discomfort as you heal. 7. Can therapy help with work stress and burnout? Absolutely. Many of my clients struggle with anxiety related to work, perfectionism, and burnout. Therapy can help you set boundaries, manage stress, and feel more confident. 8. How do I know if you’re the right therapist for me? The best way to find out is to schedule a free consultation. That way, we can see if we’re a good fit and discuss how I can help.
