Have you felt like lately everything around you seems a little heavier? You are NOT alone in this feeling. If it hasn’t always felt very easy to ask for help, maybe now is the time you’re able to try something different. I see individual adults working through life transitions, trauma, anxiety and depression, building self-esteem, identity exploration, interpersonal relationships, and anything else that might be weighing them down.

I love working with caretakers, changemakers, and creatives on issues like anxiety, burnout, compassion fatigue, depression, grief/loss, perfectionism, and trauma.
Are you a recovering perfectionist with a penchant for creative expression and spiritual practice? Do you feel burnt out by how much you care yet deflated by the social systems with which you interact? Is your attention overly affected by sensory stimuli in your environment? Do you have a difficult time managing your energy and time without externally imposed deadlines? Are you currently sober from an addiction yet wishing to deepen your lifelong practice of healing from the unrealistic expectations you have of others and yourself? If you answered "yes" to any of the above, you're likely in the right place!

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.
