Treatments We Provide
Anxiety & Depression
Welcome to Vibrant Life! We welcome people from all walks of life, offering a range of therapy and counseling services.
Depression and anxiety can feel overwhelming and rob of you of your energy and vitality, but it does not have to be that way. We specialize in anxiety and depression management by processing the root causes. I help individuals learn practical and powerful techniques that enable them to feel more peaceful by calming the nervous system based on polyagal theory. My approach is centered on working collaboratively with my clients building an alliance to understand and assess their unique needs and challenges. From there, we work to undo the anxiety binds, misunderstandings and address barriers that impede growth. We will create personal tools that help navigate uncertainty and build awareness, emotional resilience and regulation. I utilize AEDP, CSRT, Finding Peace, SFBT and Mindfulness to resolve doubt, feel compassion and reclaim your best self.
It is said that anxiety and depression are two sides of the same coin, and can co-exist, so often the experience of moving from anxiety to depression can feel like a dark storm with no end. In therapy you will become more aware of your perceptions, learn to trust yourself and find your agency and power to move out of the shadows of self-judgement to a brighter world. I am here to help you tune-up your life and find renewed energy. Contact us today in Florida or Maryland to take the first step towards lifting your mood and transforming your life.
