Anxiety
, trauma, addiction, depression...these things are universal forces that touch each of us in some way. No matter how they present themselves, two things are certain. First, that none of us is meant to face them alone and second, that none of them need be a life sentence. Each of us goes through pain and suffering relationally, emotionally, spiritually, and physically. Each of us deserves someone who will walk with us as we heal.

anxiety
, stress, or balancing a career and family? Have you ever wondered what your purpose is and how you will ever find joy in your life again? No matter what age or what stage you are in life it is okay to not feel okay. During a very difficult time in my life, I experienced many of the same thoughts and feelings you may be feeling right now. God changed the course of my life and set me on a new path.

I provide therapy to adults who are experiencing depression,
anxiety
, co-dependency, loss and who want help addressing family of origin, life transition and identity issues.
I believe we all need a space where we can reflect on life. My goal as a therapist is to create a safe space where each client can ask difficult questions, explore struggles and find hope. I utilize a psychodynamic perspective in therapy, seeking both to alleviate symptoms and to help each client understand what is impeding the growth process underneath the surface of those symptoms. This style of therapy allows us to work together to better understand areas where you feel stuck and bring insight and understanding to patterns of behavior and feelings that may be impacting relationships and emotional health.

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.
