Pornography, drug or alcohol abuse, anxiety , depression? Family and relationship problems? Let's look behind the behavior to what is really driving it.
My practice is a communion of science and faith: the latest evidence-based psychotherapy modalities combined with ancient and medieval philosophy. I rely on the work of Greek and Roman thinkers, as well as Augustine, Thomas Aquinas, Ignatius of Loyola, and others. If you are willing to put in the work, I will maximize your time to help you become more authentically YOU. No matter what you're going through, there are some things that can always help. Breathing. Grounding work. Positive self-talk. When we meet we would tailor a treatment program to meet your needs. Appointments are available days, evenings, and Saturdays.

Addressing feelings of anxiety , depression, shame, and low self-esteem, along with processing experienced trauma will not only help you feel better, but learn to think about things differently.
If you are struggling and you are not sure what to do or where to start, you are exactly where you need to be. Whether it is your family, friends, relationships, work, school, or just not feeling like you- we can tackle it together! Therapy is an opportunity for you to talk about different and possibly difficult parts of your life, however big or small. Therapy is work, and I will not only empower you, but challenge you, and encourage you to do the work outside of sessions. We will utilize your strengths as you have what it takes to be the best version of yourself.

Unlike long term traditional talk psychotherapy, my integrated short term solution focused approach will make an IMMEDIATE WORLD of DIFFERENCE.

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.
