I work with clients that have a variety of issues, but I specialize in anxiety and trauma.
Do you live with a secret belief that you are unlikeable or unlovable? Are you normally able to keep it out of your mind so you feel OK, but then something happens in a friendship or relationship that brings the painful feelings back into focus? Part of you thinks that maybe if you talked with someone you could feel differently, but part of you just hopes it will pass so you don't have to think about it again. I want you to know that you are not the only one who has these beliefs and that they can change. "The only way out is through" - Robert Frost

The problems of mid-life are not easy- the children are growing up and leaving, parents are aging and you are their caregivers, to name a few. Meanwhile, your career is changing, or is in need of a change, and you might have a few new medial issues of your own. All of these, especially if you are experiencing more than one, can lead to feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, and stressed-out. Who is taking care of you while you are taking care of everyone and everything else? And when there's still so much to do, how do get the energy to carry on?

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.
