I work with all ages of clients: adults, adolescents and children older than 6. My adult clients generally have a trauma or grief background and are ready to stop letting their past define their current lives. I do work from a Story Informed Trauma Therapy approach with EMDR, and together, we look deeply into your stories and begin recognizing patterns that were once very helpful, but now no longer working. By understanding why you made past choices, my clients find that they can begin to transform unwanted thoughts and behaviors into a healthier way of life. With children, I focus on grief, anxiety and life issues related to kids.

If you landed on my profile, maybe you are searching for a place where your feelings of depression and anxiety are understood and validated. You are balancing life’s responsibilities as a dedicated professional, a resilient caregiver, and an active community member and are known and respected by community, family, and friends. Still, there’s a weight beneath the surface that feels like an unending cycle of exhaustion, and the haunting belief of “never enough.” If despite your accomplishments, you still feel overwhelmed and unseen – I understand.

I've worked extensively with ADHD, anxiety, difficulty regulating emotions, substance dependence, self-injury, and crisis intervention.
Asking for help when we're struggling is one of the most courageous, empowering acts of self-love a person can make, and that bravery deserves to be nurtured and met with compassion and humanness. My clients are often struggling with self-acceptance, boundary setting, and leaning into their full, weird, incredible selves. I am neurodivergent identified and affirming, queer affirming, and have appreciation for all types of spiritual beliefs and relationship structures. I’d love to take the next steps in building the life that you want through a therapist relationship built on authenticity.

Anxiety Therapists
What are the most common treatments 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.
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.
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.
