Learn How Small Changes Can Reduce Stress and Anxiety

It all seems too overwhelming which causes you to overthink. Even if you prepare, the slightest shift in your daily routine can cause stress and anxiety. And since being hard on yourself is a habit, you blame yourself. Only recently have you realized how much that self-criticism isn’t really motivating you the way you once thought. Now you realize it is causing self-doubt and you don’t like it. 

What if you were able to trust your decisions and not overthink every angle?
What if making calculated adjustments in your daily routine can help reduce stress and anxiety?

With help, you can learn to navigate the challenges life throws your way and we will work together to help you live daily as the best version of yourself.

Break Free from Self-Criticism for Lasting Relief

I get it, it’s time to do something different to get all of the things you desire.

 

 

This habit of being hard on yourself may have felt motivating once, but now it only seems to create self-doubt and hold you back. Imagine if, instead of blaming yourself, you could trust your decisions without constantly second-guessing. Imagine what it would feel like to let go of constant overthinking, trust your decisions, and find peace in your everyday life. Together, we can break these patterns by exploring small, manageable shifts that reduce anxiety and help you navigate challenges with confidence. Let’s work together so you can step out of overthinking, overcome self-doubt, and experience the freedom of living with greater ease and self-trust.

Do you accept insurance?
We are a private pay practice, which means we do not directly accept insurance. However, we can provide you with a superbill (an itemized receipt of your sessions) that you can submit to your insurance for potential reimbursement, depending on your out-of-network benefits.
What is EMDR Therapy?
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a specialized therapeutic approach that helps individuals process and heal from traumatic or distressing life experiences. It involves guided eye movements to help reprocess painful memories, reducing their emotional charge. This therapy is particularly effective for those dealing with trauma, anxiety, and emotional challenges.
Do you provide couples therapy?

They are experienced in helping partners navigate relationship challenges, build trust, and foster deeper connection.
