Certain life experiences and relationships can leave us feeling stuck and unable to be our true selves. I am here to support individuals process and heal from past and present trauma that often surfaces as anxiety and depression. My work involves guiding clients to empower themselves by being the source of their own healing. I am inspired and humbled to be part of the journey of a person who has released emotional burdens and no longer views themselves or the world through the lens of fear, guilt, shame and hurt. Rather, these feelings are replaced with self-compassion, understanding and personal growth.

Issues that I specialize in treating are depression, anxiety , eating disorders, grief/loss, divorce, parenting issues, and adolescent issues.
Sad, exhausted, tired, worried, unhappy, fearful. I often hear these words in and out of the counseling room from both the young and old. Our world around us can challenge our ways of thinking, feeling, and living, in ways we often do not like. Sprout Counseling works allow you the space to process your feelings, and provide you with the tools to manage the emotions you experience.

My primary focus has been on treatment for anxiety , depression, trauma, grief and loss, OCD, and substance abuse, typically utilizing either CBT or DBT based interventions, but I have worked with clients with a wide range of needs and am always seeking training in evidence-based practices that can help the people I work with.
At its best, therapy should be a partnership. I am dedicated to creating a therapeutic environment focused on your needs and goals. I believe anyone can benefit from therapy at some point in their lives and have worked with clients from a large range of life stages, from teenagers looking to find their path to elders seeking meaning and fulfillment in retirement.

I specialize in depression, anxiety , trauma, diversity issues, relationship issues, grief issues, stress management/anger management, codependency, and self-esteem.
Are you STRESSED OUT, DEPRESSED, ANXIOUS, or ANGRY? Sometimes you just need someone to listen, but it can be hard to get others to understand what you are going through. My role is to reflect to you how you feel and get you to the other side of life's messes. Do you ask yourself why you no longer enjoy things, why you doubt yourself, why you can't sleep, or why you have mood swings? Getting your peace of mind, your self confidence and your voice back is important. Life is HARD and you may feel that you are probably dealing with things that NO ONE could possibly understand. I provide a safe space to talk about ANYTHING.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 8 years of experience working with clients offering ways to better manage depression, anxiety , trauma, grief, parenting, and relationship issues.
At times we are faced with obstacles, stressors, and challenges that create barriers to living a desired successful life. My therapeutic approach is to work with clients in a holistic manner, to explore the psychological, spiritual, and emotional aspects of one’s life. In my approach we work together as a team to better understand how our thinking and feelings are linked to behaviors; we further work as a team to address automatic negative thoughts and implement a plan to redirect thoughts to a more positive exploration of self. Finally, we will work together to implement daily coping skills to explore options and possibilities.

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.
