I take an integrative approach to working with conditions such as depression, anxiety, and relationship struggles, and borrow from approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), attachment theory, and mindfulness.
In addition, I am an Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) trained clinician, specializing in work with adult individuals with histories of trauma. I believe many mental health issues stem from traumatic memories, and those memories, once processed, can lead to life changing positive results.

I specialize in helping women struggling with overwhelm, anxiety, burnout, life transitions, and healing from trauma.
You’ve always been the go-to person—the one who handles it all and makes it look easy. Whether it’s at work, at home, or in relationships, that’s just who you are. But now, after becoming a parent and/or going through trauma, being that person leaves you exhausted and overwhelmed. You feel frustrated with yourself for not being able to get it together or wonder if something is wrong with you. You’re used to pushing through, no matter how hard things get. But now, it feels like no matter how much you do, it’s never enough. The truth is, you’ve been doing too much for too long, and it’s no longer serving you.

I have practiced as a licensed psychologist for more than 25 years, primarily utilizing cognitive behavioral therapy as an effective tool for treating anxiety and depression.
As depression and anxiety can be emotionally debilitating conditions, addressing these issues can improve one’s overall sense of well-being, and thus their lives, dramatically. Furthermore, I think that exploration of one's spirituality can be extremely beneficial regarding its contribution to one's emotional well-being.

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.
