Hello, I'm Andrea! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Las Vegas, Nevada and am currently working with clients across the State of Nevada via telehealth. I work with adults who are dealing with addiction, depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, and more. I’m here as a listening ear, but I will also help you take action. Part of my job is to challenge you. I want you to be able to take skills from therapy and apply them to everyday life. Maybe you’re a college student struggling with a lot of sudden changes, or you might be on probation, adjusting to the world again.

People in your life might think everything is fine, but inside you feel overwhelmed and stuck. Your anxiety is ramped up trying to control something that you cannot control. You find yourself not trusting yourself and seeking external validation frequently. Feelings of distraction are constant and worries take over your thoughts. You may even feel that your relationships have changed and that you need to protect the ones you love by hiding how you truly feel. Trying to stay "positive" just isn't working. If you are ready for change, you have come to the right place. I am not a smile and nod therapist and will partner with you.

Sick and tired of feeling sick and tired? Everything is connected! Including your body and mind. That means if you put unhealthy food in your belly, your quality of sleep will be affected...which will affect your mood. Same thing applies to thoughts. Negative thoughts lead to negative feelings as well as actions.

I understand the courage it takes to reach out for help and am committed to walking with you (at your pace) on your journey towards happiness and mental health. I am here to help.

Anxiety & OCD can show up in many ways. Overthinking, worrying about the "what ifs" like letting people down, making mistakes, contamination, causing harm or "the other shoe dropping". You may feel scattered, procrastinate tasks, become easily frustrated or get stuck when stressed. You try to handle everything on your own not wanting to burden others but now you're burnt out. Compulsions (like checking, counting etc) help you feel symmetrical or safe but consume your time and only delay the worry. The cycle of anxiety and OCD is exhausting! Therapy helps you relieve your symptoms to find peace to focus on life beyond anxiety.

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.
