Practice Description: Creative Therapy for Anxious Minds

If you frequently...
Feel disconnected from yourself and your life.
Wake up in the morning with a feeling of dread in the pit of your stomach.
Exhaust yourself with obsessive, worst-case scenario thinking...

Maybe I can help.
As someone who went through a debilitating Anxiety Disorder in my mid-thirties, I have a personal understanding of the shame and isolation that many anxiety sufferers experience. This awareness informs my work, and helps me create a safe, accepting therapeutic alliance with my clients.

My approach combines traditional psychodynamic and cognitive work, with body-oriented, experiential therapies that can help you learn to trust your authentic impulses, facilitate self-regulation, and discover more flexible, creative solutions to your problems.

As you begin to experience a more authentic, embodied way of being—you are better able to live in the present moment, enjoy deeper connections, and a more pleasureable, meaningful life.
