I know that college can be a difficult time with managing life, social stressors and balancing classes. If you’re struggling with anxiety due to unprocessed life challenges, trauma or just struggling with the everyday stress I am here to help.
Do you struggle with often thinking about the worst case scenario? Does it affect your ability to sleep, function at work, and enjoy certain activities? Do you feel overwhelmed by things that you constantly have to do, resulting in feeling stuck and unable to take any action? Do you wonder if you’ll ever be able to live a life that is free of anxiety? People are feeling anxious on a regular basis now more than ever. However, life does not have to stay like this. Therapy can help you conquer tasks by learning coping skills to manage these day-to-day stressors. In my practice, I use a combination of Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Mindfulness techniques to help you manage these daily stressors. You will learn realistic coping skills to then conquer that feeling of being stuck. I also emphasize the importance of the mind/body connection.
This practice aims to provide you with opportunities to heal yourself through taking a holistic approach to mental health care considering your mind, emotions, body and spirit.
