I’ve been where you are—I’ve battled OCD, anxiety, depression, stress, & trauma.
Have you ever felt a sudden jolt in energy after a cup of coffee? Or had a sudden urge to poop when you got nervous? That’s your gut talking to your brain. Did you know that 90% of your body’s serotonin—a key feel-good neurotransmitter—is produced in your gut? Simply put, gut health is mental health. The most powerful tool to heal your mental health is your fork! You can’t talk therapy your way out of a serotonin imbalance, but you can eat your way out of one. I know because I’m an expert in gut-brain health. As a functional medicine psychotherapist, I don’t just talk about your feelings—I figure out what’s eating at them.

I've come to know that we don't get rid of the discomforts life brings - our sufferings, losses, wishes, fears - but as we come to know ourselves and learn new tools, feeling better and functioning better aren't far away.
We all struggle sometimes, but ongoing issues can leave us exhausted, isolated, confused, discouraged... If your days or nights are hard to get through, if you can't seem to settle down or stop overthinking, if life feels scary or you don't know what to do, if you never feel good enough or can't seem to 'get over' or 'stop doing' x, I'd love to talk with you. My experience is broad, but my practice is largely focused on anxiety & stress disorders, relational trauma, chronic & terminal illnesses, and healthy coping/decision making during life transitions.

Through EMDR, psychotherapeutic yoga, and a compassion-first framework, I help clients process complex trauma, neurodivergent identities, explore gender and sexual identity, unhealthy attachment patterns, and manage anxiety, depression, anger, OCD, and dissociation.
I offer specialized therapy for queer and neurodivergent adults facing complex trauma, maladaptive self-image, dissociative concerns, spiritual and identity development, and mood disorders. My approach also addresses intersectional trauma related to family dynamics, religious abuse, sexual issues, and personal development. Trauma often intersects with challenges like anxiety, depression, grief, anger, and relationship struggles, affecting our mind-body connection. It’s easy to feel stuck and lose hope, but healing is possible. I provide a safe, inclusive space that is also sex worker-friendly.

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.
