I look forward to helping you with anxiety, depression, abuse, trauma, narcissistic abuse and the stress that life can throw at us! Sometimes, the story that we want to tell can be incredibly difficult to discuss or process. If you have anxiety, difficulty talking, or want to try something new, art therapy is perfect for you to come in and say as much or as little as you want and still receive the treatment and care you deserve. Many times, we struggle to find the words to describe certain emotions or events that have occurred. Art therapy can also help us discover things that we could not process only through talking.

I specialize in providing individual therapy to address trauma, healthy/unhealthy relationships, acting out behaviors, addiction, depression, and anxiety.
Much of my social work experience has been in the hospital setting, working with high acuity clients who exhibit suicidal ideation and are at risk of hurting themselves. I recognize the hardest step is often deciding to schedule an initial appointment with a therapist. My focus is working with children, adolescents, and young adults ranging from 10 to 25 years of age (though I also enjoy working with adults) who experience depression, suicidal ideation, self-harming behavior, anxiety, and trauma-related issues. My goal for clients is to seek connection and foster curiosity to reduce disconnection and isolation.

Anxiety, depression and moods holding your thoughts hostage.
I believe in helping people put the pieces back together. I specialize in trauma issues, self esteem, depression, sex addiction and sexual trauma. Often trauma has a long lasting, but unknown effect on people. Resolving trauma leads to previously unknown levels of fulfillment. When a persons self-esteem is well functioning, their relationships often are also connected and intimate. Sexual addiction is treated in a stigma-free manner. I treat my clients with dignity throughout the process and facilitate a shame-free recovery.

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.
