Major life changes - such as career shifts, relationship changes, parenthood, relocation, or entering any new stage of life - can bring uncertainty, stress, grief, and questions about identity.

If you're facing a life transition, I invite you to reach out. You deserve support during this critical time in your life.

Chronic stress and burnout can leave you feeling emotionally overwhelmed and exhausted. Too many demands and pressures over an extended period of time can cause you to feel depleted of energy to the point that even small tasks start to feel insurmountable. In therapy, we can explore the pressures you're facing, identify the patterns that contribute to burnout, and work toward finding solutions that will cultivate more balance and sustainability in your life. Above all, we will listen to your body and allow your nervous system to guide the way to healing.

Question 10

Do you work with anxiety?

Accepted Answer

Yes, I can support you to overcome anxiety.

Anxiety can show up as racing thoughts, overwhelm, perfectionism, irritability, trouble sleeping, or feeling "on edge". At times, anxiety may be a response to real concerns about a future event. At other times, anxiety may actually be masking other unacknowledged emotions. I'll aim to help you explore the underlying causes of your anxiety and identify the skills and strategies that will help to manage it. We'll work together to build your capacity to regulate your nervous system so that you can respond to life's stressors with greater steadiness and ease.
