About Pamela
As a Resident Counselor with Thriveworks, I specialize in helping individuals navigate the complexities of anxiety and emotional well-being. My approach to therapy focuses on helping you understand and work through the root causes of your struggles, not just the symptoms. We start by looking at real-life situations where you feel stuck or distressed, and gently explore the feelings you may be avoiding because they’re uncomfortable or anxiety-provoking. Together, we’ll also notice the habits or “defenses” you use to cope, some of which may actually be making things harder.
I’ll support you in understanding and gradually changing these patterns, so you can face difficult feelings in a safe and manageable way. As you become more comfortable experiencing your emotions, many symptoms—like anxiety or feeling stuck—can begin to ease, and you can develop healthier, more effective ways of relating to yourself and others.
I understand that seeking support can feel overwhelming, and I strive to create a warm, nonjudgmental environment where you feel heard and supported. I welcome the opportunity to walk alongside you as you explore new pathways toward healing, balance, and a more fulfilling life.

"Clients often share that they feel truly heard and supported with me, and that together we’re able to bring clarity, balance, and a deeper mind-body connection to their wellness journey."
