I work with adults in person or online, offering individual therapy and psychological assessment. We can talk about which one fits you during a short introductory call.
Online Therapy
Individual therapy over video call. From a place where you feel comfortable, with the same care and confidentiality.

Anxiety
Even when nothing is wrong, I have this restless feeling that something bad is about to happen.
In therapy we try to understand when your anxiety started and what keeps it growing. We also try out, step by step, ways of responding that might help when it shows up.
