Feeling a certain level of anxiety over big stressors or certain life events is totally normal. However, if you find that your fear or worry does not go away and, in fact, gets worse over time, you may be suffering from an anxiety disorder.

If you are finding your anxiety unmanageable, can’t identify the cause of your anxious feelings or if you are suffering from physical symptoms (such as heart palpations, fatigue, sweaty hands, upset stomach, or insomnia), it may be time to get help. Reach out to one of TherapyDen’s anxiety specialists today.

I work with adults experiencing difficulty with anxiety and mood disorders. They want to step out of their comfort zone, use their thoughts and strengths to address life's changes and cultivate interpersonal resolutions.

Much of my experience is with clients healing from complex, chronic trauma. I also specialize in assisting those living with symptoms of depression, anxiety, OCD, mood disorders, and ADHD.

With the goal of meeting people where they are, I will gladly work with clients at any point in their healing journey.

I help individuals, couples, relationship partners, and adult family members build more confidence and trust in themselves and with others. Clients often begin treatment longing for more connection with themselves, and more effectiveness in their relationships.

I help anxious and overwhelmed individuals navigate life stress, flourish in life transitions, and heal from painful experiences.
