Anxiety can often be helped with or without the use of hypnosis or EMDR.
Do you feel "stuck?" Are you cutting off your feelings? Do you have difficulty speaking up with what you need? Are you dissatisfied with your relationships? You don't have to feel helpless, stuck or disappointed. Therapy can lend a hand to reconnect with your spontaneity & discover opportunities to make new choices and express your needs. Most of my clients increase their abilities to communicate effectively, increase their awareness, develop more satisfying relationships, and begin to identify joy. Help make your relationship work for you - couple's therapy works! I appreciate how difficult it is to take this step.

As a clinician, I treat adolescents and adults with various presenting issues, including depression, anxiety, panic attacks, stress, and OCD.
I practice psychotherapy with a collaborative and integrative approach by curating evidence-based practices that work in accordance with each client’s needs and styles of treatment. Primarily, I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma-Focused CBT, Psychodynamic Theory, Object Relations, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy. My approach is strengths-based, person-centered, and trauma-informed. I passionately work with clients to create a judgment-free space that, over time, becomes a haven for discussing intimate or traditionally taboo subjects.

I specialize in relationship issues, anxiety, LGBTQIA issues, and trauma. My style is approachable and warm while open to challenge and complexity. Many of the adults and adolescents I meet with are looking to process challenging feelings, improve their relationships, and understand themselves better. Others are looking to heal trauma (complex trauma, sexual trauma, or PTSD), navigate addictions, compulsions, or work through intricate patterns that are depressing their development. Together, we will thoughtfully explore the distinct reason(s) you are pursuing psychotherapy.

In the eyes of others, you present as confident, successful & outgoing, but inside, you struggle with anxiety and feelings of inadequacy. You often feel like your friends and peers seem to have it figured out, but you don't. Maintaining relationships, both romantic and platonic has been a challenge. Understanding your own needs and wants can feel trivial. You're feeling isolated, despite being surrounded. You want to feel more secure and balanced.

I specialize working with people in non-traditional relationships, Addictions, Anxiety and Panic, Ageism, Cultural and Religious issues, Social Conflict Resolution, Depression, Anger, Gender Identity & Transition, Grief and Loss, those newly diagnosed with HIV, Sexual Identity & Coming Out, and sexual dysfunctions.
Most of us don't choose to suffer. Most of us are suffering because no one ever taught us that we have a choice not to.
If you have ever expressed any stress or sadness from looking in the mirror and telling yourself you "should" lose weight, make more money, or be any different than who you are now, then you are suffering the consequences of distorted thinking, and this is the time to take charge and change.

With 10+ years of clinical experience, I specialize in trauma, eating disorders, anxiety, and LGBTQ+ issues.
Imagine going through life being able to – emotionally, relationally, physically, truly – trust your gut. Therapy is an opportunity to learn how to do just that. My clients come from all walks of life, but they usually begin therapy with some version of the same core feeling: it’s all just too much. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed in daily life, navigating complicated relationships, wanting to heal your relationship with food or your body, or (re)discovering who you are – you're here because you need some support and you're daring to imagine that you deserve it. And you do!

We are more mysterious to ourselves than we know. Rather than explore this mystery, though, we tend to seek quick fixes -- diagnosis, medication, self-help, worksheets -- in order to meet the grinding demand for maximum productivity. But ignorance of the unconscious not only compromises our creativity and potential, it also results in significant pain. Our relationships suffer, our goals remain unattainable, we develop harmful habits, and we may even experience depression, anger, anxiety, and despair. Quick fixes provide temporary symptom relief, yet our deeper conflicts endure, and sometimes worsen.

I have found my therapy work most effective with people who are struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, and transitions related to relationships, identity, family and career.
Is it just me or has the world felt extremely overwhelming in recent years? It can be hard to just feel stable, let alone attempt to feel happy. There can be so much pressure, both from the world and from ourselves. You need a sense of grounding; an internal anchor that holds you strong while the waves of life thrash. You need to understand yourself, why you make the choices you do, why negative thoughts and default patterns hold you back from the life you want, and how to control the emotions and fears that overwhelm you. Mostly, you deserve to love, respect and accept yourself, just as you are.

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.
