Do you feel like you question yourself all the time, think of yourself as a failure, or not trust your relationships? I help individuals and couples to overcome cycles of doubt through a focused, non-judgmental approach to therapy. Self-doubt can cause us to lose trust ourselves, damage our relationships and careers, lead us to act in ways untrue to who we aspire to be, and can bring us to a place of shame. It can lead us to stagnation or being controlled by our fears. If you are looking to change how you feel about yourself or in your relationship, our work together can be the first step in that process.

Do you feel you're at an inflection point in your life? That you've worked hard, but your effort has also taken a toll: be it burnout, anxiety, a sense of emptiness, or difficulty with relationships you care about? That, no matter how much you have achieved, those feelings of inadequacy are still nagging at you? My goal is to help you take charge: to put your "inner critic" in its place – and achieve a genuine, sustainable sense of well-being.

Life can sometimes feel challenging, overwhelming, and lonely - but it doesn’t have to be that way. You deserve to experience happiness and connection.

My clinical focus is helping adults with Anxiety, relationship concerns, and life stressors, often with people who have complicated family dynamics.
My approach to therapy is geared towards both developing insight as well as finding ways to promote healing and growth. In session, we often work to develop a deeper understanding of ourselves and the patterns that permeate our lives. Depending on your goals, we may also incorporate mindfulness or other somatic practices to help promote nervous system regulation. Therefore, sessions can flexibly move between exploratory, experiential, or solution-focused.

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.
