I enjoy working with those overcoming Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), trauma, anxiety , and Body Focused Repetitive Behaviors (BFRB).
(Next start date for Adolescent DBT Skills Group is 6/1/23!) Therapy can be intimidating and overwhelming; my goal is to ease those worries by providing an empathetic, non-judgmental, and empowering environment. I value the relationship I build with clients and pride myself on using a strengths-based perspective to help you navigate challenges.

Available via Telehealth. Sometimes, we don't realize we are dealing with something hard until we have difficulty coping. We might experience anxiety , panic attacks, unsatisfying sleep, low energy, or really strong feelings that come out of nowhere! Maybe you want more fulfillment in your relationships or work. You might have had a life transition that has turned out to be more difficult to adjust to than you expected.

When life is weighing you down, you start to question everything. Perhaps you feel empty, lost, or as if you're not on the right track. You worry about your relationships with loved ones. You struggle to let go of old wounds. Your anxiety may seem out of control, and where is your tolerance for stress? You feel tired, overwhelmed, and maybe, even a little broken. You wonder what happened to that person you once knew, and to your passion for life.

I help women overcome anxiety , shame, and perfectionism to break cycles that leave them feeling stuck and unfulfilled. My clients often struggle with unrealistic expectations that lead to frustration, burn-out, and indecision. They never quite feel “good enough” and are exhausted trying to do it all. If this sounds familiar, you aren’t alone. Many of my clients find themselves stuck in patterns of self-judgement and disconnection that impact their confidence and self-esteem. I enjoy helping clients build new patterns and insights that restore balance and connection to their lives.

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.
