Cognitive distortions are normal and often lead to depression, anxiety, relationship problems, and self-defeating behaviors.
I engage each client in a trusting and compassionate relationship where they feel heard and known. I empower my clients to better understand themselves to create the life they want to live while providing the support needed to identify and overcome obstacles, create sustainable change, and achieve their utmost potential. My goal as a counselor is to create a safe space for clients to identify their inner strengths, navigate significant transitions, and build resiliency through life’s biggest challenges. I come from a place of openness and acceptance and work collaboratively with my clients to cultivate personal growth and self-love.

I work with teenagers and young adults who struggle with depression, anxiety, or other mental hurdles that make it challenging to get through the normal, day-to-day routine. I provide a safe and calm environment to make it comforting when opening up about trauma or any past challenging events that led them to where they are today. Together, we can set long-term and small-term goals and look at taking small steps to get there. I meet clients where they are at by pointing out their strengths and accomplishments. It's important to work through some of the barriers so that you feel more confident in moving forward.

Finding the right words at the right time in relationships is tricky. Sometimes in the middle of an argument, when it matters most, words just aren’t there or they come out all wrong. You may find yourself freezing in panic or fleeing to the other room to prevent saying something you don’t mean. Sometimes, the fear of repeating past experiences paralyzes and it’s really hard to imagine ever getting past those memories. Whether you’re looking for couples therapy or individual therapy, you’re 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.
