When anxiety becomes too much it starts affecting the quality of your life. You may find you have difficulty with the day-to-day: looking after yourself, holding down a job, trying new things or simply enjoying your leisure time. Physical symptoms from anxiety feel like they are filling up your body: stomach churning, light-headed or dizzy, headaches, backache, etc. With anxiety, the rate and intensity of your anger can increase, leading you to seek anger management. Social situations can be a source of stress in which your body might tighten up for a fight response. You feel overwhelmed; thinking no way I am capable of interacting.

I specialize in working with teens, young adults and families to address issues such as depression, anxiety, family stress, self-esteem, parent-child conflict and coping with major life transitions.

Having spent over 25 years in the corporate sector, I understand the pressures facing individuals as they struggle to balance life and work. Anxiety, depression, and overwhelm can result from being out of balance in body, mind, and spirit. These issues may also arise from old wounds going back years or even decades. If you feel like life is too much and want to find a healthier path forward, we can work together to help you find relief and make better decisions. I invite you to come and find healing and peace in your life.

Are you OK? So many of us are experiencing anxiety, depression, or loneliness. Some of us feel stuck in our careers or lost in destructive patterns in our relationships. Perhaps you’re still grieving a lost loved one and feeling as though the hole in your heart will never heal – or maybe some trauma in your past has you trapped in a cycle of unwanted or unhealthy thoughts or behaviors. There is hope! We were designed to heal, and healing often takes place within safe relationships and connections with others. Therapy provides that safe relationship where real change can occur.
