My goal is to remove obstacles blocking my client’s path. Symptom removal and alleviation of pain, and to facilitate personal growth and change. Loss has the potential to change us and the world because it reveals the depth of our love for one another and for life itself. Understanding loss, its lessons, its gift to reshape love through memory, its grief, its powerful reminder that it is not what but who we have that matters gives our lives exquisite meaning. The fact is that pain teaches us things. It shows us shades and hues we could not otherwise see.

This group is designed to target the specific needs of the 'sandwich generation’: those who are simultaneously nurturing the growth of children and attending to physical or mental decline in their parents. Caregivers are often pulled by competing forces that leave them little time for self-care, reflection and nurturing support. If this description resonates for you, consider carving out special time just for yourself on Friday afternoons to be part of this group. This will be held online or via Zoom to accommodate caregiver schedules.

If you have struggled with criticism, doubt, or dissatisfaction with yourself, you are not alone. We will work on understanding how low self-esteem is developed and maintained, identifying our own biased expectations and negative self-evaluations, and learn to find self-acceptance through challenging and adjusting unhelpful rules, assumptions, and negative beliefs.

Anxiety Support Groups
When should I seek treatment for anxiety?
Everyone feels anxious at times, but when anxiety causes disruption to your daily life, it may be time to seek help. Such disruption can be mental, physical, or both: having fear dominate your thoughts, avoiding situations or objects that bring on feelings of anxiety, or experiencing shortness of breath, sweating, dizziness, or panic attacks. When these symptoms are recurrent and distressing, it may be time to talk to someone.
What are the most common types of treatment for anxiety?
Talk therapy, particularly cognitive behavioral therapy, is the most common treatment for anxiety. Studies have shown it is equally effective as medication. Other popular forms of therapy are popular, depending on a patient’s experience. Exposure therapy, for instance, can be useful for people dealing with fears and phobias, or who have experienced traumatic events. Dialectical Behavioral Therapy may be useful for patients who need help with emotion regulation. Anxiolytic medications, like benzodiazepines, can also help with calming a person enough to focus on the skills they’ve learned, and physical exercise has been shown to help symptoms of anxiety across the board.
How long does therapy for anxiety take to work?
The amount of time needed to alleviate symptoms depends on the severity of a person’s condition. Some therapies may take 5-20 weekly sessions to show results. Anti-depressant medications typically take two to four weeks before a benefit is felt. Anti-anxiety medications are felt typically within 20-30 minutes. Medications are best used to offer a patient a better headspace in which to work on techniques learned in therapy. Exercise, improved sleep habits, and meditation are effective, but takes weeks or months to show results.
How effective is treatment for anxiety?
Treatment for anxiety has been shown to be moderately to highly effective, according to a large body of psychology studies and analyses. For some people, treatment using CBT or exposure therapy alone is effective. Others respond best to a combination of medication and therapy.
