Anxiety
Anxiety is a word we use so often that it doesn’t capture the pain and suffering experienced by so many with moderate to severe anxiety. For those battling some form of anxiety, the daily struggle may feel like an uphill battle with no clear resolution in sight. Yet it’s important to recognize that there is hope and support available.
Anxiety has many ways of showing up but essentially it’s fear of the unknown and wanting to control what oftentimes is not in our hands to control. We might not think about this way on a daily basis since we tend to focus on the discomforts and thoughts we’re having. Anxiety can stem from various sources, such as past trauma, chronic stress, or even genetic predispositions. Some ways anxiety is experienced is by constant worry and uneasiness, to obsessive-compulsive thinking and behaviors like constantly cleaning and wanting control, to physically feeling exhausted but not being able to sleep well. The symptoms of anxiety can significantly impair daily functioning and quality of life.
We are here to guide you in gaining insight into how anxiety influences your life and to equip you with effective coping strategies that can foster resilience and enhance your well-being.
Therapy for Teens
Teenagers experience many changes and pressures as they navigate through their formative years, and this can often lead to a host of challenging feelings including anxiety, depression, identity issues, academic stress, and significant social pressures.
The adolescent years can be a confusing time, filled with emotional ups and downs, and supporting your teenage son or daughter during this period can feel daunting, especially when you’re unsure of where to begin.

Trauma-Informed Therapy
We recognize that trauma can leave lasting effects—physically, emotionally, and psychologically—even when the traumatic event occurred long ago. In trauma-informed therapy, our goal is not to rush you into revisiting painful memories before you’re ready. Instead, we begin by exploring how trauma may still be showing up in your life today.
You may find yourself struggling with trust, control, emotional regulation, or even physical symptoms like tension, chronic pain, or digestive issues. These experiences are valid and often deeply connected to past trauma, even if the connection isn’t immediately clear. Our approach is gentle and respectful, focusing on the present-day impact of trauma while creating a safe space for you to heal at your own pace.
Rather than simply treating symptoms, we help you understand the deeper patterns that may be influencing your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Together, we work to process current emotional pain, develop healthy coping strategies, and build a stronger sense of safety and self-awareness.
While the past cannot be changed, your relationship with it can. Our goal is to support you in feeling more grounded, empowered, and in control of your healing journey.

Anxiety, fear, and depression can feel incredibly uncomfortable and confusing. We can work together and help you feel more in control of your life. Women are about twice as likely as men to develop depression and anxiety during their lifetime. One factor is the high levels of pressure that women experience, often taking on more of the mental load at home with the kids and sometimes elderly parents while continuing to work outside the home. We can help you discover unhealthy patterns like feelings of guilt, set better boundaries, and learn other coping skills that can help you navigate life with intention.
