What brings each person to therapy is unique. When you are looking to process or work through a change in your life, it is important to feel a sense of comfort and confidence in a clinician. Grief, loss, family changes, professional changes, relationship challenges, feelings of depression or anxiety are some examples of what might be behind your interest in beginning therapy. It is courageous to take this first step. I will support your individual process in a personalized way, honoring your feelings and journey with unconditional support. One size does not fit all when it comes to therapy or finding the right therapist.

The relationship we have with ourselves directly influences the relationships we have with others. Self love, or even meeting ourselves where we're at with self acceptance, can be incredibly difficult for various reasons. I assist my clients in nourishing their relationships with themselves through a mix of inner child work, cognitive behavioral therapy, and dialectical behavioral therapy techniques. I have worked with clients in various settings including outpatient office, intensive outpatient, and residential with a focus on trauma, anxiety, depression, bipolar, and borderline personality disorders.

Do you ever wish that you felt more connected with others, and less isolated? There are times in life when we just feel "stuck," and have a hard time finding our way out.

If you are struggling with trauma-related issues, anxiety, LGBTQ+ topics, depression, or general life stressors, reach out for a phone consultation.
Seeking out therapy can be an intimidating process. It’s common to feel like your mental health won’t improve, that you will always be “stuck” in unhelpful thinking patterns, uncomfortable body sensations, and actions that don’t align with your values. My goal is to cultivate a safe, inclusive space where we can work collaboratively to address your concerns and shift into a space of healing. Therapy is not typically a place where you can find “quick fixes,” therefore I work to establish an authentic, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship with my clients to support them in finding and experiencing meaningful, long-term change.

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.
