In addition, I have significant experience working with adults to treat depression, anxiety, and relationship issues.
Most people suffer from some form of emotional or mental health issue at some point in their lives. We all have unique vulnerabilities that may be expressed during times of stress in the form of depressive symptoms, anxiety, behavioral issues, or even more serious symptoms. You are not alone, and you have taken the first huge step towards feeling better. If you would like to learn how to harness your own resilience, learn tools to cope, and truly feel understood, speaking with a quality therapist will help you to heal and reach your potential.

I specialize in working with all types of Trauma, including physical and sexual abuse as well as veterans issues and others. I help people connect to the source of their conflict, and then find a path to help them move past it. If you are ready to stop living as just a survivor and move into living as a thriver, you've found the right place. Post Traumatic Stress Disorders and Dissociative Disorders are what I specialize in. However, I also work with depression, anxiety, self-esteem, eating disorders, anger issues, and a wide range of mental health issues.

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.
