Sometimes we all need a word of encouragement, and sometimes we may need help focusing on a new perspective, plan or strategy to help get us unstuck from a current situation. Clients are offered a judgement free environment, they are met and accepted right where they are at in life and given "help for today," so they can have more "hope for tomorrow."

How can I assist you? I provide individual psychotherapy to adults. My approach to psychotherapy is grounded in the belief that change takes practice and that our early experiences can influence our current circumstances. I believe that every person has an inner potential for healthy growth and development, and my role as a counselor is to facilitate that growth. I provide a safe and nonjudgmental space to share and better understand your thoughts, feelings, and challenges.

Not accepting new clients
** Not accepting new clients at this time. ** As a therapist, I enjoy working with adults and adolescents. So many issues in our lives stem from troubled relationships, poor communication, family conflicts, or traumas from the past or present. Sometimes our thoughts and emotions are mismatched. We want our pain to ease, we want to understand what doesn't make sense, or we need to know ourselves better. Sometimes we need to learn new coping skills to handle a terrible situation. Most of all, we need to speak, and to be heard - without feeling judged or criticized for what we believe, or how we live, or who we are.

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.
