WHAT IS ANXIETY? Anxiety comes in many forms. For some, it's feeling out of breath when speaking in front of strangers. For others, it feels like non-stop negative thought patterns that spiral out of control. Whether your anxiety triggers are social, career, parenting, or relationship based, we can work together in sessions on reworking negative thoughts into positive ones. |
WHO DO I WORK WITH?
Many of my clients have tried different types of therapy before and are looking for a more direct approach to mastering their thinking. My clients are a diverse range of ages, backgrounds, and careers. As a writer and former performer, I can easily relate to creative clients, and many of my clients are artists, writers, and actors who deal with the anxieties of auditions, submissions, and deadlines. As a mom of two, helping other parents comes naturally to me as I fully understand the daily anxiety that comes with raising kids. As a college professor and counselor, I help many navigate the anxieties of new relationships and new situations. For all of my clients, I use a goal-oriented approach where clients can clearly map their progress from month to month. Typically, clients sign up in four session blocks so that we are able to check in at the end of each block of sessions to monitor progress.
WHAT ARE SYKPE SESSIONS (TELETHERAPY)?
Life coaching sessions via Skype are a great option for clients who are often in different locations and need a flexible option. Some of my clients call me from their offices, their living rooms, backstage, or on lunch breaks. It frees clients from having to drive to a therapist's office and allows them the freedom to feel comfortable and more relaxed in a setting of their choice. As a trained professional, I am able to pick up on vocal and visual clues to maintain a connection with my clients via Skype or over the phone. If you would like to try a session, I offer free 10 minute consultations via Skype.
