Anxiety and depression are treatable.
None of us go through life without experiencing changes or life transitions. We struggle with depression and fight off our anxiety. We go through our day on autopilot, lacking energy, and feeling hopeless. We isolate ourselves from friends and family, we feel misunderstood, or we temporarily escape reality & lessen our pain with alcohol, drugs, food, etc. Resisting change causes us pain and creates additional stress and anxiety in our lives. Acceptance and embracing change begins the healing. If we approach transitions with curiosity rather than fear, and intention rather than reluctance, we can respond to change and foster growth.

Managing relationships can be challenging, but it doesn't have to be that way. For more than 15 years, I've been helping people with their relationships, specifically those that may cause negative emotions such as anxiety and depression. I focus on helping those dealing with unhealthy or challenging relationships. Communication is critical, and I can help people improve it. I also assist professionals who struggle with finding harmony between work and personal life, busy moms who may feel overwhelmed, and anyone who needs to learn the importance of self-nurturing.

You come to therapy to face hard truths in your life and learn better ways to handle them. Maybe you find yourself repeating the same patterns, having the same interactions, or feeling a certain way about yourself. I balance truth and tact, giving genuine feedback. I have over 20 years of experience helping adults overcome depression, anxiety, and life stress. Sometimes you're depressed & sometimes your life is depressing-usually it's some of both. I address both, helping you change the way you think, act, & feel, while also looking at your whole life situation, environment, lifestyle, friends & stressors.

As an EMDRIA trained EMDR therapist and certified health coach, I work with a range of emotional and behavioral issues including trauma, anxiety, depression, nutritional management, grief, parenting support, addressing boundary discomfort, work and career issues, stress management, emotional barriers to physical health and more.
Many people find themselves "coping" with life as opposed to LIVING it. With the many competing demands of our busy lifestyles, it is not uncommon to lose connection with your authentic self and to feel discouraged, unwell or just..."off". When we discover that our health and wellbeing are suffering, or feel “stuck”, we often need support to change thought patterns, and empower ourselves to make different choices, so that we can live in a more meaningful and fulfilling capacity. Whether you have specific goals, or simply know that you just want to feel better but don't know where to begin, the first step is to reach out for help.

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.
