This means that while we will hold space for your anxiety and challenges, our primary goal is to identify the unique resilience and light you already possess.
Finding your way through a major life change can feel like navigating through a fog. Whether you are a young adult trying to find your footing in a fast-paced world, a new mother struggling with the overwhelming shift into parenthood, or a family facing a difficult transition, the path forward isn't always clear. At Golden Hour Therapy, I provide a warm, grounded space where we can slow down and focus on what is working, rather than just what feels broken. I believe that even in our darkest or most chaotic moments, there is a golden hour, a window of clarity and strength that we can tap into together.

As humans, we often find ourselves stuck in the same cycles—whether it’s distorted thinking, avoidance, or emotional outbursts. Therapy is the process of understanding why we do what we do. Together, we will explore how your upbringing, past trauma, and even evolution shape your current reality. Using a blend of CBT, DBT, and ACT, we will develop practical skills to reframe your thoughts, navigate uncomfortable emotions, and communicate more effectively with those in your life. I practice under the clinical supervision of Elizabeth DeGrocco, LCSW. Let’s help you thrive.

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.
