While working through grief and the many other emotions that can accompany it, such as anxiety, depression, and anger, one can begin the journey of becoming wholehearted again.
It’s okay, not to be okay. Many life experiences, both expected and unexpected, can awaken a broad range of emotions. Oftentimes, the instinct is to try and hide or brush off our personal health to “get on with our lives.” Grief and loss may not hurt as often as time passes, but that does not mean that it hurts any less. Loss, whether it be the result of a death, divorce, job, illness, or friendship, can cause grief that is often a lifelong process. Even though grief is not a tangible injury, if not properly cared for, it can become a deeper wound.

My work with clients includes a variety of issues including anxiety, depression, adjustment, relationships, sexuality, and identity.
Carol Rodgers once said If we are able to accept ourselves just as we are, then we can change. Likewise, I believe that everyone has the unique ability to discover significance within themself. This path to personal development is often found within the context of meaningful relationships. A therapeutic relationship can offer helpful guidance towards radical acceptance, profound healing and transformational growth.

I am passionate about working with adolescents and adults struggling with loss or grief, trauma, anxiety, and/or depression.
I once heard that in order to live a fulfilling life you need to live it fully everyday. Living fully can look different from day to day. Some days living fully may bring joy, peace, excitement, & love as you form new relationships, pursue your passions, & discover more about yourself. Yet other days living fully may bring frustration, sorrow, fear, and pain as you face loss, trauma, and uncertainty. In either of these cases, living fully is done in relationship and living alongside another can bring healing beyond belief. I strive to be that ally, to walk alongside others as they experience the joys & challenges of living fully.

Whether you, your teenager or your family are experiencing obstacles, I would like to help. I have spent nearly 20 years working with adolescents, particularly girls, and their families.

My knowledge and experience includes medical and bariatric weight loss, depression and anxiety, stress management, relationship concerns, setting healthy boundaries, communication and conflict resolution, spiritual issues, life transitions and adjustments and grief and loss.
When our Memories are greater than our Dreams we tend to focus only on setbacks and disappointments. Changing behaviors that lead to a healthy lifestyle may seem like mission impossible based on the struggles and failures encountered in the past. I have a passion to help clients overcome obstacles that have lead to a perception of failure. I strive to help individuals stay motivated by focusing on what they have control over, learning new skills to bring life back into balance and gain confidence in themselves and their ability to succeed.

Do you feel low self esteem or struggle with making meaningful, fulfilling relationships? Maybe you just feel anxious or depressed all the time.
I believe progression towards healing is always possible. The ability to heal is not the problem. It is getting the right help and doing “the work” that creates healing. A big part of the healing is feeling valued, understood, accepted, and heard in the therapeutic relationship.

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.
