"When we can talk about our feelings, they become less overwhelming, less upsetting, and less scary."

Listening to your body makes sense. We all want to be mindful of our health. But has that concern started to take over your life?

Maybe you find yourself constantly scanning for symptoms, searching online for answers, or bracing for bad news. No matter how much reassurance you receive, the fear keeps coming back. It's exhausting.

Sometimes that fear grows from lived experience—a medical emergency, a frightening diagnosis, an accident, or another health scare. Other times, it seems to appear without a clear reason. Either way, the impact is the same. Your mind races, your body stays on high alert, sleep becomes difficult, and it's hard to trust that you're safe. You may have even gone to the emergency room convinced something was seriously wrong, only to leave feeling embarrassed, frustrated, or confused about why the fear won't let go.

This isn't "just in your head." Health anxiety, panic, and medical trauma can leave you feeling trapped in a cycle of checking, doubting, and expecting the worst, even when you've been told you're okay.

Therapy can help you break that cycle. Together, we'll learn to respond differently to fear instead of letting it run your life. We'll make sense of what your mind and body are trying to do, strengthen the abilities you already have, and help you build a relationship with yourself that feels calmer, steadier, and more confident.

Health Care Workers

Burnout. High turnover. Harassment. Constant frustration. Maybe made worse by anxiety, depression, or something harder to name. Have those feelings been there for a while, just under the surface? In this work, it is easy to put yourself last. You keep going. You tell yourself you will deal with it later. You focus on getting the job done. And when you do try to talk about it, friends and family often just don’t get it..

In my time as a social worker in a busy Emergency Department, I have worked alongside people doing their best to hold everything together in the middle of crisis. The pace is intense. The pressure is real. And over time, it can start to affect the way you think, relate, and feel.

Therapy can be a space to pause and check in with yourself. To sort through what has built up and consider what might actually help. You do not have to be at a breaking point to ask for support. I offer a calm, steady space where we can look at what you have been carrying and work together to find a way forward in the direction of the more fulfilling, enriching life you see for yourself.

Areas of Focus

Navigating Life's Challenges Together

Anxiety & Stress

Depression

Emotional Distress

Anxiety can leave you feeling stuck in a constant state of "what if?" Whether you're overwhelmed by worry, panic, racing thoughts, or the demands of everyday life, therapy can help you respond with greater flexibility, confidence, and calm.

Depression can make even simple tasks feel overwhelming and leave you disconnected from the things that once mattered. Together, we'll work to break out of that cycle, reconnect with your values, and take meaningful steps toward a life that feels fuller and more hopeful.

When emotions feel overwhelming, it's easy to react in ways that don't reflect who you want to be. Therapy can help you understand your emotions, respond more effectively, and navigate life's challenges without feeling controlled by them.
