I am a social worker who specializes in couples and sexual-related issues. I do a lot of work with couples around infidelity, trust and sexual issues. I spend much time helping couples overcome the aftermath of affairs and help lead them to a better relationship than they previously had. I also work with individuals with problems like depression, anxiety and loss. I do my sessions exclusively by video and phone and have done teletherapy for about five years. My style is very casual and thoughtful. And I have become very adept at doing teletherapy. I find that most of my clients prefer this format.

My goal is to help clients reach their full potential beyond the chaos of everyday life. As a psychotherapist, a Cognitive-Behavioral approach is used to navigate self-exploration and real life goal setting while filtering through difficulties. Believing that your health and wellness is valuable regardless of all else allows me to provide effective therapeutic services through humor, understanding and compassion. Your story could be one of living with mental illness or maybe you have hit a rough patch filled with uncertainty. When life has given you a dump truck filled with lemons together we will make lemonade!

We live in times of great change and transition, and though change provides ample opportunity for new avenues to be explored, it can also be overwhelming and confusing. Fortunately, the world is full of helpers: people who can assist others with finding their inner compass, and counseling is the perfect tool for discovering and connecting with this inner sense of direction and purpose.

If an acorn contains within it an oak, so also you began your life with the prospect of becoming a certain person, your natural self. Like that young oak, which managed to grow somehow despite poor soil or too much shade or scarce water, you also have survived. But your growth has been affected by some toxic experiences, some injuries. Despite those woundings to your natural self, you can still imagine who you are meant to be. In fact you have already begun to realize who you really are, despite the distorting influences that you have been through.

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.
