Parenthood can be full of wonders and woes. Along the way you could experience infertility, loss, or birth trauma. Sometimes you bypass (or go through) those experiences only to find yourself right smack dab in the middle of postpartum anxiety or depression. I became a therapist to support parents, so they know someone is always in their corner. If you currently experience any of these situations, or if you have in the past and they continue to stick with you, I’d love to help you work through the sticking parts.

My approach to talk therapy involves a focus on interpersonal connection and addressing the physical, mental, and social vulnerabilities of my clients. Through introspective and insight-oriented therapy, individuals can gain a clearer understanding of themselves and those around them. In addition, I acknowledge and take into account the influence of cultural and spiritual beliefs, social roles, and personal relationships on mental health. By recognizing and considering these factors, we can better address issues related to depression, anxiety, and other mood disorders.

4/1/24 New Clients Get Started within one week. You want to live joyfully, but deep down you are struggling to feel connected with Jesus. You know the value of praying and reading your Bible, but the numbness is still lingering. While there are days that you see God working in your life, there are times where you feel like you’re just going through the motions. You find it challenging to recognize your worth as God sees you and could use guidance with your thoughts and relationships. "You are fearfully and wonderfully made" sounds beautiful until you actually sit with yourself. Your anxiety might question just how true this is.

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.
