I help highly sensitive people cope with stress, anxiety, depression, burnout, relationship issues, life and career transitions, perfectionism, self-critical/negative thinking patterns, and self acceptance. We all struggle at some point in our lives, but it doesn't always have to be that way. What if you could avoid overwhelm, anxiety or depression, and instead create balance in your life so that you feel calm, confident, and hopeful again? You are not broken, you might just be a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP). Find out more about this completely normal trait on my website.

I specialize in working with women who juggle it all but feel overwhelmed, anxious, disconnected or lonely.
It is exhausting to be a woman in our modern world. Trying to juggle motherhood, careers, partners, our health and everyday life leaves us stretched thin. If you feel lost in the shuffle of your own life, we can help you find a way back to yourself. We work our whole lives to achieve all we dreamed of, and are surprised when we feel anxious or empty. It can feel confusing to know there is something missing, but not know what or how to find it. My job is to help you figure out that something and how to feel like yourself again.

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.
