I’m a licensed therapist in Colorado and Oregon, and I know how overwhelming anxiety can feel.
My approach is grounded in evidence-based practices, including CBT, ERP, and ACT. These approaches not only help reduce the grip of anxiety and intrusive thoughts but also support building lasting resilience. Along the way, I also emphasize self-compassion—because learning to meet yourself with kindness is just as important as learning new skills.

Hello, nice to meet you. My name is Julie and I am here to meet you where you are at, work with you on things that brought you to this point and what we can do to help it all feel better. I believe that there is not a specific theory or method of therapy that works for everybody or even the same person all the time, and; therefore, tend to be very eclectic in modalities that I use. That being said, I work a lot with trauma-informed modalities, supportive, and person informed modalities, as well as CBT, DBT, and ACT.

Anxiety Therapists
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.
What are the most common types of treatment 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.
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.
