My clients are looking to decrease the hold that anxiety has, increase tolerance for emotional discomfort, and fully thrive in their lives. By learning to recognize and acknowledge unwanted thoughts, emotions or behaviors and lean into them through curiosity and compassion, clients are able to feel in control of their emotions and behaviors and live their lives more fully. I also work with parents of children who lean anxious and want new ways to support them
Specialties
In addition to being an LPC I am a Certified Clinical Child & Adolescent Anxiety Treatment Professional (CCATP-CA). I have been working with children and adults for over a decade in treatment centers, schools and private practice on issues such as anxiety and emotion regulation through somatic practices, CBT and ERP. I offer SPACE for parents who find that their child's anxiety is impacting the family system. We work on ways to increase support while decreasing the reassurance loop
School pressure, friendships, family expectations, social anxiety, figuring out who you are, and wanting more independence while still needing support. I work with teens experiencing anxiety, panic, intrusive thoughts, and self-harm, as well as teens who feel overwhelmed by emotions or stuck in patterns that aren't helping anymore. Therapy gives them a place to talk honestly about what's going on, understand themselves better, and build confidence in handling difficult thoughts and feelings.
When uncomfortable emotions flood the nervous system it can feel scary and overwhelming resulting in intense physical sensations or numbness. Non-Suicidal Self Harm is often a faulty skill used to take control of that scary, overwhelming experience. We work together to find healthier methods of control while building tolerance to the discomfort of emotions and stronger connection between the mind and body.
