Over time creating joy and connection will replace worry and fear.
The struggle is real! Grief is one of the hardest things we go through. Does your world feel frozen and stuck since they left. A storm of emotions fear, sadness, anger, crashes over you daily. And missing them is a constant ache. Life without them feels terrifying and all you want to you do is hit the reset button. Maybe you're going through the motions, afraid to face the reality of this loss. And you even yearn to feel accomplished, to move forward, but every day feels like you are falling behind.

I know you are SO tired of being unheard, invalidated, and judged by the people closest to you. Therapy gives us an emotionally safe, nonjudgmental, and objective place to be seen and heard authentically. Much of the emotional pain we feel in life stems from being pigeonholed into other people's ideas about who we SHOULD be versus being allowed the personal ground to be who we really are. I provide therapy that is humanizing, supportive, and acknowledges your individuality.

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.
