Areas of Specialization
1. Anxiety
Do you worry about work constantly when you’re at home, or feel anxious and tense even about small events?
Does your apprehension make it tricky to get on with regular life and enjoy each day?
Or if you often think…
- “It’s safer to stay at home.”
- “But what if…”
- “I can’t breath / do this / relax / stop / switch off!”
- “They/I could be in danger!”
If you frequently experience…
- Constant feelings of dread
- Racing heart
- Anticipating the worst, regardless of evidence
- Physical symptoms like headaches, sweating, shakes and jumpiness, trouble concentrating, a frequent need to urinate and stomach uneasiness
These signs and symptoms are common in those suffering from anxiety. I teach clients strategies to calm and relax. Clients develop more agency, becoming more effective and more connected.
2. Depression
Do you feel heavy with despair, struggling each day to keep your head just above the darkness and dread?
Does it take every ounce of energy to stay afloat? Or are you feeling overwhelmed by feelings of helplessness and hopelessness?
You are not alone and there is help. Just like other chronic illnesses, depression is not your fault, it’s nothing you’ve caused. Effective treatments exist to help ease and eliminate the struggles you face.
3. Trauma
Feel trapped in overdrive? On edge, irritable, ready to snap?
Do you experience poor concentration or confusion, or feel easily overwhelmed?
Do you suffer from trauma related scars, nightmares, or flashbacks?
Do you avoid situations or reminders of the traumatic event?
Are you suffering from post traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, or depression?
Trauma can alter how the brain functions. Signs and symptoms can vary from finding it difficult to trust and being constantly on guard to sudden panic. Signs and symptoms can feel complex and at times overwhelming, feeling better is possible.

Combining different approaches and techniques to help lessen, even eliminate, the painful mental and physical responses raised by the memory of traumatic events, and seek to create new healthier patterns in your brain.
