I have had the most experience treating anxiety and depressive symptoms, but have worked with people with a wide range of challenges.
It has been my privilege to partner with many people over the last 30 years to help them make positive changes in their lives.

I am a licensed independent clinical social worker with experience working with children, teens, adults and their families in a wide range of settings. I have been working with clients via telehealth for the last 4 years and have found it to be a great way to connect.

While I work with a variety of individuals who identify as having a mood disorder, like anxiety or depression, my focus is on finding the root of these symptoms and supporting you in feeling empowered to cope with life's stressors.
My approach to therapy is relational, attachment focused, systems based, and trauma informed as I believe how we experience the world is through an eclectic lens of our relational and developmental histories, genetic and biological make-up, experiences with others, and the communities in which we live. I believe that sometimes healing is best ignited through connection, support, and exploration. I practice primarily with adult individuals, families, and couples navigating the effects of stress, PTSD/trauma, identity exploration and self-esteem, life transitions, oppression, and dual-diagnosis.

Adults face various stressors, including those related to career, education, personal, spiritual, emotional, behavioral, relational, familial, marital, parental, and judicial. The challenges of transitioning into adulthood, along with the multiple stages of maturity, can be taxing. Personal traumatic experiences or exposure to trauma impact everyone differently; however, society expects you to cope and proceed onward due to your responsibilities or obligations. In some cases, this is easier said than done.

Therapy only works when there is strong trust, and I work to foster a space that honors clients' experiences, pacing, and personal needs. I strive to help clients make forward movement through deep work because therapy is more than just a place to vent. My style is warm, candid, and when appropriate, fairly humorous; therapy is work, but can also be playful! I work hard to create a space where clients feel free of judgment, while still gently challenging people to do (or feel or think about) ) things that may be uncomfortable.

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.
