Therapy That Works for Anxiety, Trauma, and Relationships

Many people carry tension, restlessness, or a sense of being “on edge” from past experiences. Therapy offers a space to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and begin to feel more grounded. Together, we’ll work to ease anxiety, calm your body’s stress responses, and help you feel more balanced in daily life.

I use a blend of mind–body and evidence-based approaches, drawing from Somatic Experiencing® (SEP) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Together these approaches help you tune into your body’s natural ability to release tension and regulate stress while providing practical tools for understanding and shifting unhelpful thought patterns.

Over time, these methods can help you feel more at ease, increase emotional resilience, deepen relationships and help you move through life with greater clarity and confidence.
