I have worked with those struggling with addiction, trauma, dual diagnosis, anger management, couples issues, anxiety, depression and other life stressors.
I have assisted many clients in gaining insight into the issues that they are struggling with and healthier options that work for them. No client is the same as the next. We are all unique and take different paths in life and deserve a space to be heard. Clients struggle to connect with emotions, processing and regulating their emotions and struggle with finding positive solutions. Sometimes in life we don't know exactly what we want or which way to turn. I give my clients the space to learn about themselves and grow. I am compassionate, attentive and work with my clients to find the positive attributes in their lives.

We utilize a strengths-based and solution focused approach, and provide person-centered, cognitive behavioral, and trauma focused interventions to address concerns with depression, anxiety, trauma, and other mental health needs.
Oftentimes, life circumstances and human biology becomes a barrier to an individual’s ability to transform their lives. Some barriers are bigger than others, and can be challenging to conquer alone. The therapeutic process is sacred. It recognizes that growth isn’t always accessible when an individual acknowledges a need for change. People do well when they have the means to do so, and for some, change requires a safe and nurturing space in which a person can be truly heard, where barriers can be identified, and creative and collaborative problem solving can occur.

Anxiety and poor self esteem often go hand in hand.
As women, we often do not prioritize self care. And what we think is "self care" might actually be "self soothing". My person-centered approach focuses on helping women to accept themselves–while also changing how they respond to stress. With a specialty in generalized anxiety disorder, I will support you in recognizing your triggers, practicing healthier coping skills, and feeling more empowered in your life.

In a time where many people are more socially integrated than ever, they have ironically been left feeling more disconnected and dissatisfied. There are those who are in relationships, but still feel alone. Whether social isolation, crippling anxiety, or a constant chase for satisfaction, I find clients are looking for a deeper understanding of themselves that can provide insight into a healthier and happier way to live.

Emotional turmoil arises when you lack the assurance and sincerity to pursue a life filled with purposeful endeavors and positive actions. Diminished self-worth, wavering confidence, unhealthy relationship dynamics, dwindling motivation, career setbacks, or persistent anxiety all contribute to a detrimental self-perception and interpersonal interactions, resulting in symptoms that may exacerbate a descent into distress.

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.
