I use play, sand tray, and art therapies to help children learn positive coping strategies that teach them how to manage problems with anxiety, depression, and traumas that they may have in order to give them a better start at their futures.

Life can feel overwhelming - at times it would be nice to take one long vacation and hope everything would be fixed when you return. Or perhaps it feels like it would be too awful to tell someone what was really going on, or what has happened in the past. Through compassionate listening, empathy, and curiosity, I help individuals reclaim strength and healing.

You feel stuck. You are in your head processing everything, all-day, every-day, from your relationships to your work-life. You’re always overthinking, over-analyzing… each conversation and replaying every interaction in your mind. A never-ending loop of anxious thoughts spins through your mind. These thoughts distract you from living your life. You try to do self-care, but you can’t seem to get any relief. Instead, you feel overwhelmed with fear, guilt, and confusion. Self-doubt consumes you. It’s exhausting endlessly second-guessing yourself. Your fear and insecurities overpower you and they’re taking over your life. You feel lost.

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.
