I work with patients who have issues with depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, self-harm, OCD and marital/divorce and relationship issues.
I am often asked, "What kind of patients do you see in your practice?" "People just like you and me", I respond. The one thing that they all have in common is their desire to connect, to be heard, to express themselves without being concerned about saying too much or too little.

High functioning anxiety is not just another hashtag. It's a unique form of anxiety that left unchecked, can cause burn-out, constant searching for validation, and disconnection with self. Other hall markers include: perfectionistic tendencies, shaky work life balance, difficulty relaxing, people-pleasing, & high-achieving. This form of anxiety creates an experience where you may look fine externally, but internally, there's a constant pressure to do more (at the expense of home life, relationships, your well-being). I help adults in CA & VA break the cycle of anxious thoughts, feel more content, & foster healthy relationships.

Most therapists (including me) can teach you coping skills to manage your depression and anxiety. I believe that it is even more important to discover the roots of your depression and anxiety. These symptoms are telling you that something is wrong; something which needs to be identified, addressed, and healed. I want to assist you in uncovering the maladaptive patterns in your relationships, self-care, school and/or career which have not served you. We will work together to develop new goals and a treatment plan to help you accomplish these goals.

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.
