As a licensed mental health therapist, certified in clinical anxiety treatment, my goal is to help you change your relationship to your emotions, particularly worry, stress and anxiety, so you can start living the life you want, the life you deserve!
Along with thoughts and emotions, your body is also always sending you signals about how you are feeling. For example, when we feel worried or stressed, we may notice tingling, tightness, increased heart rate or shallow breathing. When emotions start to feel too big and these sensations may feel uncomfortable we often try to push them away or ignore them. But by bringing awareness to our bodies’ experience we can learn to create space. This space allows for more choice, reduces reactions and allows for preferred responses. We can then replace old habits or coping strategies that no longer serve us or get in the way of growth.
Everyone’s path is different, therefore sessions are focused on individual needs. In addition to talking, sessions may also include EMDR, body awareness, art, movement, games, and breath work as a way to access and further understand bigger emotions and create the space that allows you more choice. Together, we'll find kindness for the parts of you that are struggling, create understanding around your individual experience, and empower you through skills-based practices that can help you stay in control of your emotions instead of feeling like they are controlling you.
