I have worked with individuals ages three to adults with a variety of presenting issues, including mood disorders, anger management, parental and family conflicts, anxiety , post-traumatic stress, as well as adjustment issues and phases of life issues.
I believe counseling offers healing, growth and clarification for individuals as they courageously decide to work with me in a safe, trusting warm and confidential environment. My therapeutic approach is mainly cognitive and behavioral (CBT) and Client/Centered Therapy but use other therapeutic approaches as needed. I strive to meet you where you are at, then we decide the style that fits your needs, as we are going to be working together to help you meet your goals. I believe in people’s inner strengths and capacity to succeed and grow even during difficult times.

For over 18 years I've worked with people experiencing mental illness ( anxiety , depression & PTSD), marital conflict, teen problems, families dealing with a love one's mental illness, domestic violence, crisis management, and Child Protective Services (DCFS).
Major and sudden life events can be disruptive to your life depending on what they are. They can also create worry, stress, confusion, sadness, anger, emotional pain, and frustration. Do you ever feel that way? Is it because of Child Protective Services, problems with your spouse or partner, or feeling pessimistic about life itself? With 18 years of experience in mental health, crisis management, adolescent behaviors, marital conflict, domestic violence and child welfare my primary focus is to help you heal and find solutions. If you need professional help, I look forward to working with you in a safe and judgment free manner.

I am always educating myself with new kinds of therapeutic "tools" that will help clients with reduction of issues such as stress, anger, anxiety , irrational thoughts, etc.
There is no better feeling than knowing someone is or has worked through there issues and feeling that life is making them smile and laugh again. I strive to assist my clients to find their way through the "drama and darkness" no matter how old they are or what problems they present. Together we work through the issues that bind them and help them to walk a path to find happiness and a healthy life thus my company name "Life Steps." Please know this is not easy work but I take these steps with you at a pace that fits for you. My treatment is not for those who want to be in therapy "long term." I want clients to be on their way!

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.
