Anxiety is a basic emotion that we need for survival... but has it turned into an overwhelming force that is taking over your daily life?

Maybe it has been present for as long as you can remember. You have been able to keep it at bay, but lately you feel as though it is spilling over into your day to day. Perhaps, it seems that a storm recently broke loose and you are getting swept away with worrisome thoughts and body sensations...

Are you ready to let go of this storm of worries, doubts, and fears?

YOU CAN HAVE A HEALTHY RELATIONSHIP WITH ANXIETY…

My goal is for you to be able to access anxiety in healthy amounts and to return to a state of balance. Anxiety is a natural response to stress and overwhelming experiences, it alerts us of danger, keeps us diligent when need be, and helps us prepare for the future.
