Windsor, CO 80550  (Online Only)
I have counseled clients with addictions and trauma successfully for over 30 years. I also specialize in teaching clients’ new ways to cope with symptoms of anxiety, depression, grief, and more. I feel strongly that we have within ourselves the ability to heal and that with some guidance and tools, we can find creative solutions to our own problems and use these problems as motivation to improve. My counseling style is warm and interactive. I think it's very important to meet the client where they currently are in their journey and work from that point.

Aside from Depression, Anxiety and stress, I specialize in trauma, ADHD, domestic violence/relationship issues, parenting struggles, prenatal and postpartum struggles, personality disorders and family members as well.
Every season of life comes with different stress and hurdles. Those challenges can lead us to feeling overwhelmed or stuck whether that be due to relationship troubles, parenting struggles or any other reason. If you have found yourself in a pattern that is not allowing you to grow in the ways you want, I may be the right therapist for you. My clients often come to me when they are emotionally drained and just want to feel better and function better. I am here to walk alongside you and help untangle your thoughts and emotions, regardless of the reason or root cause.

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.
