However, I also have expertise in the areas of parent-child conflict, relationship concerns, co-dependency issues, narcissistic abuse and individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, and/or grief.
My approach to therapy comes from the belief that within each of us is an inner wisdom, that when accessed will guide us to new insights, answers, relief and even healing from our burdens and struggles. I believe we are all designed to find healing, when we do our own, honest "soul searching" or inner exploration. Richard Schwartz, developer of the Internal Family Systems model, stumbled upon an approach to navigating our internal systems through work with his clients. He discovered that we all possess the positive qualities of calmness, compassion, confidence, courage, etc. when connected to this source of inner wisdom.

“The past is just the past,” they say. You’ve tried to let it go, ignore it, bury it away, but it still seems to haunt you. Growing up you saw the fights, cleaned up the messes, felt the pain of hurtful words, and covered up so many cuts and bruises. You did what you had to do to survive and got out as fast as you could. You were determined that your life would be different. And for the most part it is. Unfortunately, the emotional remnants remain; anxiety, feeling like you’re “not enough,” the disconnect from others...You’re ready to finally shed these struggles, but you need some help getting from here to the life you want.

Anxiety, depression, and trauma are not just “in your head” they are also in your heart and in your body.
You're there, in the dark, struggling to find a way out. You're trying to just get through today. At times, even breathing seems to be too much. Life is so exhausting. Some days it takes everything you can muster just to get through the next minute. The people around you, your friends, your family, if they are still there, don’t get you. If you hear “just get over it” or “think about happy things” one more time you’ll scream. Why don’t they get it? This isn’t something you “just get over”! Like you would pick this life if you had a choice? There’s only the darkness, full of loneliness, worry, hopelessness, and despair.

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.
