I use play therapy with kids as well as CBT and solution focused therapy to meet the needs of my clients and work with many concerns such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, issues with self esteem/self worth, self harm and many others.
My background is in school counseling and my passion is working with teens/kids. I worked for 3 years as a school counselor before switching to my LPC and doing private practice. There I also focused my practice on meeting the needs of teens/kids and working with families as well. I most recently worked in the community with a foster care agency, again working with kids/teens before going back to private practice. I do enjoy working with teens/families but also see individuals of all ages as well as couples.

For almost twenty years I’ve helped folks navigate depression, anxiety, trauma, frustration, disappointment, grieving, medical problems, substance use, aging, disability.
We all know the signs – a heavy heart and a restless mind. Sleepless nights, joyless days, grumpiness, stress. constant crisis, overwhelming emotions. It's not working. But there's a way that works. Therapy works. You can calm those big feelings and make good choices. My clients and I work together like a basketball team moving the ball down the court. We pass the ball back and forth, sharing ideas, noticing themes, clarifying values, shaping your vision until you’re ready to take the shot. My approach is deeply collaborative and research-based. I’m strongly informed by CBT, DBT, Hypnosis, EMDR, Polyvagal and Neurodivergent Theory.

I am most interested in working with someone or a family that is in at least a bit of a crisis. It may be that you have tried a number of ways to solve the problems, but they don't seem to be working, and you are very frustrated, especially at the responses you are getting from friends and relatives. You may feel your depression, anxiety or that your child is out of control; that it's time to try something different.

Together we explore those life challenges that cause pain and uncertainty, including anxiety, depression, addiction, and relationship issues, using gentle, collaborative methods that ensure safe, supportive results.
Through a combination of traditional psychotherapy and body-based modalities, such as polarity therapy, movement techniques, and sensory awareness, I help you access your body's wisdom to gently transform faulty beliefs and dissolve emotional blocks, which often results in relieving physical symptoms as well.

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.
