Are YOU feeling heard? My philosophy is rooted in Cheryl Richardson’s quote that “people start to heal the moment they feel heard” and my professional goal is to empower adults to move from “surviving to thriving" in a comfortable environment where they are safe to be themselves. Using a holistic, trauma-informed approach, I'm ready to help you acknowledge, navigate through and overcome negative patterns of thought and behavior that often lead to depression, anxiety, social isolation, generational trauma, people-pleasing behaviors, boundary issues and negative self-worth.

Our therapeutic relationship will create a nurturing pathway to access your vulnerability in a way that feels safe and healing. My approach is warm and skillful, utilizing humanistic, cognitive behavioral, and mindfulness techniques.

Hi! I’m Camay. Take a moment to yourself now and take a deep breath. I want you to imagine what your life will look like when you no longer have to carry the heavy weight of sadness, fear, worry, shame, guilt, negative thoughts, anger, and/or the feeling that you aren’t good enough or that you don’t matter. With that image in mind, do you feel confident that you have all the tools you need to make that vision a reality on your own? Or would it be easier to experience life’s challenges if you had support and new tools to overcome them?

For many, the journey towards parenthood can be a long and difficult road. This journey may be filled with negative pregnancy tests, the heartbreak of loss, the anxiety of fertility treatments, the pressure of picking the right donor, the trauma of a NICU stay, or the heaviness of postpartum depression and anxiety. The complexities of navigating parent life continue as your child grows and your family transitions not only with your child's age but sometimes through family transitions such a divorce, step-parenting, or adjusting to stay at home parenting.

I use creative interventions to help you develop a greater understanding of your emotions & the stories you tell yourself that leave you feeling worried, overwhelmed or unmotivated.
You’re allowed to take a break, relax & be “unproductive.” You are allowed to slow down, so that you CAN be your most productive and best self. Saying “no” can sometimes feel selfish. Truth is … it is anything but! Saying no allows you to take care of you, so you can care for those you love the most! Are you ready to tap into your soul and gather the inner wisdom stored inside so that you can live your life with confidence and clarity? Are you ready to honor your needs so that you feel energized and excited to start your day? I help women rise up & step into their true genius so that they can live a joyful, rich and meaningful life.

Ongoing stress, overwhelming feelings and anxious thoughts can leave us mentally, physically and emotionally exhausted. When these feelings go unresolved they take control of our lives and prohibit us from living to the fullest. Life can leave us with wounds from trauma, relationship patterns and unhealthy cycles we naturally fall back into. These patterns often lead to us feeling "stuck" and unsure of how to move forward.

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.
