Life contains many joys and pleasures while also presenting discomfort and heartbreak. Fortunately, humans are incredibly resilient and have an amazing ability to overcome tremendous challenges – especially when we work together. I became a licensed psychologist because I want to create positive change in the world. I believe when we help one another we all become stronger. I provide individual therapy for professionals and students ages 18+ to address concerns including: anxiety, eating disorders/body image, depression, self-esteem, trauma, academic/professional stressors, ADHD, OCD, and more.

I work with adults and couples who want to build more fulfilling relationships and less anxious lives. You're feeling anxious, like you have to be perfect, and you're overwhelmed with all of the demands. You're stuck in the same relational patterns and past wounds continue to resurface. As a couple, you may find yourself having the same argument and feeling disconnected. Relationships expose our deepest wounds, fears, desires, and needs. I enjoy working with people struggling with anxiety, perfectionism, relationship issues, and attachment trauma.

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.
