I have nearly a decade of experience working with people experiencing depression, anxiety, grief /loss, ADHD, relationship concerns & stress.
Do you feel lost and as though you have no one to turn to? Are your fears of being judged and misunderstood preventing you from reaching out for help? Do you struggle to open up to people and feel as though you have to hide your true self out of fear of being misunderstood or misjudged? Do you feel as though you struggle with negative thoughts about yourself and others that hold you back from building relationships? Taking the first step in acknowledging that you need support along your healing journey can be difficult and scary.

We each come from different backgrounds with unique experiences that intertwine to shape the individuals that we have become. Behaviors that once served to protect us from difficult past circumstances may no longer be appropriate and may now be creating problems in our relationships with friends, significant others and/or co-workers. We have patterned ways of coping with stress and anxiety that we developed in our family of origin. But we are not locked into patterns; patterns can be changed. I believe that as individuals we have a deep desire to be heard and understood. Each of us have a unique story that has molded us.

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.
