I have worked with clients experiencing depression,
anxiety
, low self-esteem, significant life changes, adoption, infertility, feeling “stuck,” sexual abuse, identity, grief, trauma and PTSD.
I work to offer a genuine and safe space for individuals to explore areas of their life they would like support in. I enjoy working with all types of clients and especially those who are goal-oriented, open-minded and motivated to work toward change they want to see in their lives. I begin the therapeutic process with attachment-based interventions by exploring childhood and how it has shaped the personality and views of the individual. While attachment-based methods are a favorite of mine, I do also tailor the methods used based on what we agree is best for you to reach your goals.

Psychologist, PhD

I treat a broad range of psychological issues, including mood and
anxiety
disorders, unresolved grief and loss, trauma and abuse, eating disorders and body image issues, relationship concerns, chronic illness and adjustment to new roles or challenges.
I am a licensed clinical psychologist offering depth psychotherapy for adults and older adolescents. I am dedicated to working collaboratively with my clients, with the goal of generating personal growth and lasting change. We begin with an exploration of symptoms and initial problems, then widening therapy to include the history of major life attachments, sense of self, personality and current life events that impact quality of life. With over twenty-five years of experience, I've found the most potent approach is to work from an attitude of curiosity, warmth, determination, and compassion.

Your best self is around the corner with relief from overwhelming stress and
anxiety
.
Shutting the world out for a while sounds like a relief. It also sounds lonely and stressful to do it for as long as it would take to fill your bucket. If you gave into that feeling you wouldn’t get anything done which then would make it all worse. So you hold it together, press on, and tell yourself it isn’t that bad and you are ok. Deep down you know you need some kind of help with all of the negative thoughts, imposter syndrome, and up and down emotions. What’s missing is the enthusiasm, connection, and true joy. Today something has shifted and it feels like now is time to stop going through the motions and start living fully.

Since 1996, I have specialized in helping women, children and families decrease
anxiety
, depression, and mood instability.
We all have times in our lives when we are not able to work through difficulties without help. I am devoted to helping people work through these challenges. Sometimes life changes bring up
anxiety
or lead to depression. But sometimes the cause of inner turmoil is not so clear. My therapy style has been effective at helping people overcome their obstacles, enhance their sense of self-worth, and improve the quality of their relationships.

I believe that when individuals are ready to receive help, they will benefit greatly. Those I serve have sought assistance because they seek to move beyond their struggle, not because they had been asked to do so. This is not to say that those who have been encouraged haven't benefited as well. The approaches used allow me to serve those who are experiencing stress,
anxiety
or trauma. I also assist those who are ready to find their life's purpose but feel that they need the extra support in meeting this goal.

Hi! I’m Kalene. I work with people who feel like they’re exhausting their resources for trauma recovery and
anxiety
. Fight, flight, and freeze modes stubbornly take over despite having a solid toolbox of coping skills. Things like mindfulness, exercise, affirmations, and evidence-based therapeutic skills may help some but still only scratch the surface. My clients tend to easily recognize that trauma and
anxiety
are more than just about thoughts. They need to somehow ‘reset’ their overactive nervous system and calm their brain. They want a more comprehensive and holistic treatment than relying solely on talk therapy or medication.

**ONLINE THERAPY AVAILABLE** Do you come from a family where one or both of your parents/caregivers were not emotionally there for you as a child, maybe they had an addiction (alcohol, drugs, work, anything else but you)? From these experiences as a child you received and downloaded messages that impact your life now as an adult. Maybe now as an adult you too suffer from an addiction, experience depression and/or
anxiety
or perhaps you keep finding yourself in co-dependent relationships. You want to break free from feeling lost and/or out of control, you want to be happy and feel secure in yourself and relationships.

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.
