I help people embody their lives as they cope with things interfere with well being ie) oppression, depression, anxiety, life adjustments in areas of aging, spiritual/crisis, grief/bereavement due to death and/or chronic illness for individuals and caregivers; including other helping professionals who experience secondary trauma and compassion fatigue.
The therapeutic process is a powerful tool for growth and change. Diagnosis as "dia" and "gnosis", is to know across. Once recognized, the obstacles we experience can be compassionately cared for by developing awareness and coping skills to alleviate suffering. I'm happy to support you in exploring changes that achieve a greater sense of happiness and fulfillment in your life.

Through training and past work positions, I have experience working with family systems, survivors of traumatic experiences, child abuse and neglect, anxiety, depression, relationship conflict, experiences that you may experience in your life.
Are you struggling? Experienced Trauma? Wondering why this is still happening? Maybe I can help! With the belief that every person enters therapy with strengths, we will work together to build upon that foundation and learn about strengths that you might not be aware of just yet. I understand how difficult it is to feel comfortable with a new therapist while discussing past traumatic experiences, so I place a lot of importance in building up a rapport and therapeutic alliance.

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.
