Life is complicated. Do worry or a sense of powerlessness make it harder for you? Do you think about work/school when you are at home? Do you feel tense, even about small events or pleasant experiences? When your mind is racing do you become sleep deprived, or have a
panic
attack? Is there a feeling of imminent danger or a pervasive dread? These are symptoms of those experiencing
anxiety
. While
anxiety
can affect many aspects of your life, there is hope for a calm future and a good night’s sleep. Are you facing changes that seem to overwhelm you? Even when executing our own choices or deadlines, do you get frozen? Demands stack up?

Being a new mom is hard. You’re sleep deprived, learning your new little one, and everyone has advice for you. “Sleep when the baby sleeps; you’ll feel better, and happier, when you get a few more hours of sleep; It’s just the baby blues, you’ll be ok in a few weeks; the house work can get done later, make sure the baby is eating enough…” What if you’re still sad after “a few weeks”, you feel scared, anxious, or can't turn your thoughts off? It can start to feel like you are getting through each day in "survival mode". With the help of our knowledgeable counselors, you can stop "surviving" life and start enjoying it.

You’ve been to multiple therapists with little to no success. You’re an ambitious, professional woman struggling with
anxiety
and/or sadness. You have past trauma from childhood or adulthood that is haunting you. Your relationships are being affected. You feel stuck. Relationships and parenting can reopen old wounds where we discover we need healing. We can feel triggered. It feels like something is missing, and you don't feel whole. I offer exclusive 3-day intensives where we get to the root of your issue and actually heal it for good. Life is busy, and intensives give you the opportunity to resolve things once and for all.

If you are ready for a change, know I will be right by your side as you reclaim joy, face your
fears
, and begin to feel at peace with yourself again (or maybe even for the first time).
Some people experience fear that holds them back. Others are so weighed down by the complexities of life that it feels like there is not enough energy to do anything. Over time, they shift further and further away from the person that they know they can be, but they feel like they’ve already tried everything and feel stuck. If you can resonate, the bravest thing you can do is reach out. We all have core beliefs that define how we see ourselves and the world. These beliefs have huge implications for our emotional, behavioral, and relational patterns. Some are positive and helpful, and others are fear-based and limiting.

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.
