Everyone experiences change throughout their lives, it’s what keeps us human. From welcoming a new bundle of joy into the world to grieving the loss of loved ones, our lives are constantly in transition. However, change is difficult. Adjusting to change can bring about stress, anxiety, lowered self-esteem, and depression. Yet, in these moments of change is where personal growth is cultivated. As a certified first responder associate, I help clients navigate through processing the trauma and transitions they experience in the field. Have you experienced trauma or a life transition? If so, therapy can help.

Hi, I'm Sammy! I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC), Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, and EMDR Certified therapist. In my almost 10 years of practicing I’ve worked with an array of clients on issues such as trauma recovery, relationship stress, anxiety, and depression.  I enjoy using a holistic, client-centered approach to explore presenting issues and symptoms aiming to identify their root cause. I believe most presenting concerns can be traced back to a wound from a past relationship or life experience that gets stuck in the brain and stored in the body.

As a clinical mental health counselor in the Florence area, I offer an accepting therapeutic environment for clients experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, work or parenting stress, self-esteem issues, and conflict.
People come to counseling for many reasons. Maybe it's stress from a difficult job, or a tumultuous marriage. Maybe it's the adjustment to parenthood or the loss of a precious loved one. Maybe we have always felt a little empty inside and realize that we would like to feel a little better about ourselves or about the life that we have created. Sometimes, we are stuck and overwhelmed and we don't even know why.  We just want more out of life and we don't know where to begin. In any case, counseling offers a unique opportunity to have a safe space to explore and talk about the things that mean the most to us.

Do you feel like you've lost your sense of you? Anxiety can often keep us from enjoying or even participating in our lives. Do you feel like you are existing but not living? Is avoidance your best friend? Maybe intrusive thoughts are increasing the anxiety. Maybe, a disturbing thought crosses your mind and you think, "Why would I have a thought like that? This is not who I am." Maybe you can't sleep, you're exhausted, and you miss yourself... the real you. The most important relationship you will ever have is with yourself; nurture the relationship, grow, and evolve.

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.
