Life can be filled with so much beauty but depression,
anxiety
and just negative life experiences can blind us from it all. I get it, but don't forfeit hope. I know some days feel empty and fogged. Maybe you're uncontrollably worried or fearful? Maybe you feel like you can't escape your past or truly love yourself. Whatever it may be, I am here to help you pierce through the darkness. There is peace, purpose, joy and wonder on the other side of this.

I specialize in
anxiety
, perfectionism, and people-pleasing.
You know how to make it happen – you work hard, you show up for the people you care about, and you do your best to never let anyone down. On the surface, it seems like your life is going great. On the inside, your insides squirm with
fears
that you're not doing enough, not good enough, and that it's only a matter of time before everyone else sees it too. You feel disconnected, exhausted, overwhelmed, and anxious. You want to be authentic and present with those in your life but you struggle to share about how you really feel and express your wants and needs.

Have you realized how important self- care is ? "You can't pour from an empty cup." My ideal client is someone who is ready for change. Someone who is ready to improve their response to stress,
anxiety
(or fear of the unknown), doubt and rejection. My ideal client may consider themselves a multi-tasker, having little time for their own needs; a parent/ guardian, mom, wife, "boss." You may be considering the next steps of your life and how to achieve your ultimate goals; mentally, spiritually, in relationships and career. My ideal client has a vision for their life and wants to see it come to fruition.

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.
