Compassionate therapy for anxiety

About Meredith

I work with individuals interested in taking a closer look at their lives, patterns, thoughts, and feelings in order to reduce anxiety. Sometimes we intellectualize, aim for perfection, overwork, overthink, and overdo because we’re distracting ourselves from deeper, complicated feelings. Sometimes these patterns come from past insecurities or painful memories. Most of us need to feel seen, heard, and validated in these past struggles while also gaining new perspectives and tools to start feeling lighter. From a holistic, nuanced perspective, we will hopefully understand where pain points are stemming from and how to heal them.

As your therapist, I like to “put it all on the table,” hearing your full story and taking a thoughtful, reflective, and focused approach to identifying patterns. From those patterns, we can find opportunities for subtle changes that, when taken together, relieve your suffering. I offer attunement, informed perspective, guidance, and mind-body coping skills.

Starting therapy can be intimidating. I invite folks who do not know exactly what’s “wrong,” what they need, or a clear answer to “What brings you into therapy?” The power of therapy lies in part in us figuring that out together, aligning past stories, present feelings, and behavioral habits to understand what feels unwanted and start to find another way.
