Something seems–off. Your energy is low, or you’re staying in bed just a little bit longer. It’s easier for you to listen to your inner critic than to accept compassion and empathy. You can’t remember the last time you felt relaxed or content with yourself. It’s harder to find the words to express your emotions and experience. You don’t ask for help since you are the one that no one has to worry about, because you take care of everyone else. You are in need of a different kind of support, one that helps you heal and learn to live again. Email me today for more information!

I am a trans clinician who is interested in those who have existential concerns, climate change anxiety, and those who have felt marginalized by the mental health industry. Have you ever been made to feel like you needed to fixed? Is it you that needs to be fixed or do we need to change the material and social circumstances that currently prevent us from healing? I want to hear your story and how you might imagine a better, more restorative world to look like.

I'm a fairly relaxed therapist who can both create an emotionally comfortable atmosphere and talk about really difficult things. These type of issues may include sexuality, gender, relationship challenges, organization or motivation difficulties, or being neurospicy. The prevailing issue with most of these is anxiety, or anxiety-linked depression. This usually needs to be handled, along with an overarching problem or reality that exists. People want to be able to feel better, get along better with their loved ones, be able to succeed, and enjoy life.

Every day feels like a rollercoaster of worry, and you’re stuck in a cycle of seeking relief in distractions? You’ve poured everything into helping loved ones, only to hit a frustrating wall? Your mind is a battleground of conflicting thoughts, making decisions and changes seems not worth the fight? Tasks pile up, and the idea of starting to tackle them is overwhelming you? Wearing a mask, even with yourself, becomes a necessity to feel somewhat okay? Strong emotions trigger panic or self-harm, and the pain or numbness feels easier in the dark places? Things you used to love no longer bring joy, and even laughter feels empty?

As a queer individual and therapist, I offer a secure and non-judgmental atmosphere where you explore these fears safely.
There’s a lingering discomfort when you enter a new environment. You feel on edge- wavering between the desire to live authentically yet trying to hide just enough to go unnoticed. The guard you built up for protection from unsolicited looks or critical remarks is getting too heavy. You’re exhausted from the constant worries of facing rejection from those around you. The harmful comments against the LGBTQIA+ community startle you backward towards “the closet”- the tribulation of your sense of self-sacrifice for the comfort of others. Even though you fight hard to regain your autonomy, it’s difficult to claim that pride alone.

Do you struggle to remember a time when you were happy and felt okay? Hopelessness and numbness are the only things you feel. Do you feel trapped by your traumatic experiences and your body does not feel like your own? Instead, you seem to be watching your own life pass by, disconnected from it. Do you find yourself worrying that you may never trust yourself or anyone else again?

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.
