As a trauma informed therapist, I understand the impact of past experiences, the toll of depression/ anxiety, and trying to tackle everyday challenges.
Life in itself is challenging; let me help you learn how to face these moments with strength and love. As humans, we tend to struggle with how to handle adversity and often forget our own resiliency and ability to adapt. "We delight in the beauty of the butterfly, but rarely admit the changes it has gone through to achieve that beauty"- Maya Angelou.

I work with adults struggling with trauma, chronic shame, attachment wounds, anxiety, dissociation, and emotionally unsafe relationships.
Ideal clients are adults who feel emotionally exhausted from years of surviving, over functioning, caregiving, or feeling disconnected from themselves. Many come to therapy carrying trauma, chronic shame, attachment wounds, religious trauma, emotionally unsafe relationships, or family systems that taught them to suppress their needs to stay safe. Using EMDR, attachment-focused, and trauma-informed approaches, I help clients move beyond intellectual understanding and toward deeper emotional healing, nervous system safety, and lasting change.

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.
