You may be feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, weighed down by depression, or unsure how to navigate a major life transition.
My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and non-judgmental. I’m trained in EMDR therapy, which helps process trauma and experiences that feel “stuck.” I believe therapy works best when it feels like a partnership, and we’ll move at your pace to create meaningful, lasting change.

Learning to break free from old life scripts, anxiety, fear, grief, trauma and depression is possible.
Welcome to my practice. My goal is to meet you where you are and help you navigate your way to a more peaceful, meaningful and purpose driven life. Facing the pain of current and/or past hurts and challenges can feel overwhelming. I, too, have personally walked this road and know that healing and peace are possible. Being in toxic relationships and stuck in old patterns can take an immeasurable toll on a person’s mental, emotional, physical and spiritual well-being, oftentimes leaving a person feeling stuck and ruminating - not knowing who they are in their own skin.

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.
