Thank you for visiting my profile. I love helping clients who are struggling with relationship issues and are eager to do the work it takes to form a loving and fulfilling relationship.

There’s a lot of suffering that comes as a result of emotional neglect/trauma, not just relationship issues. There’s typically anxiety, depression, anger, low self-esteem, poor boundaries, feeling overwhelmed, a deep longing for, as well as, fear of connection, interpersonal conflict, etc.

While operating a trauma-informed program I was able to provide a safe space for victims of trauma to learn how to heal and help reset their nervous system to alleviate symptoms of anxiety, nightmares, depression, substance misuse, depression, and other symptoms of trauma.
I like to adapt my approach to meet the needs of my clients individually. Sometimes it is helpful to use multiple approaches to tackle more complex issues, especially if they overlap into different areas of your life. Even though every person is completely unique many of us suffer from similar issues. I help my clients overcome issues with toxic relationships, role strain, stress management, anxiety, and self-esteem. I also do assessments for ESAs and Substance Abuse Evaluations.

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.
