*MOBILE THERAPY SERVICE* When traditional 'mental health' services are not meeting your needs-CALL. This could be a result from a medical condition, limitations to transportation, or many other reasons that pose a barrier to meeting your emotional support needs in an office. Mobile Therapy is a way to have the service come to you and allow you the ability to mold the service in a way that would be most convenient for you. I view the therapeutic process as a journey, to achieve goals, improve your life for the better and feel that therapy should be catered to your needs.

As a licensed counseling psychologist, I provide therapy to children, adolescents and adults.

My clients have described me as warm, non-judgmental, and empowering, and have expressed appreciation for my use of metaphors and humor in our work together.

However you term it - anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, etc
When starting therapy, we will take time to build a therapeutic relationship that fosters a foundation of trust and safety, so that as we discuss what's currently going on we can also explore past experiences at a pace that feels comfortable for you. We will process emotions that have otherwise been avoided or too overwhelming, and build skills for coping.

Are you juggling multiple responsibilities? Feeling pulled in 99 different directions? Wondering if there is any escape from the stress and frustrations that can overwhelm us?

I work with teens and adults who are struggling with anxiety, depression, boundary development/implementation, self-esteem, family and relationship issues, life transitions, trauma, etc...
We live in a society where discussing mental health still comes with a stigma and I am here to make the transition into therapy as smooth as possible. Working in this field, I aim to provide all clients with an environment in which they feel they can be honest, vulnerable, and free to be themselves without judgment. My office is a space for clients to just be human; whether that be discussing the hard times of the day, the joy they’ve experienced since their last session or the traumas that have occurred overtime.

I specialize in working with adults who had an emotionally challenging childhood and who now struggle with anxiety or relationship satisfaction.
Are you having difficulty feeling secure in relationships? Do you overthink a lot? Maybe you’re someone who needs to talk right away when someone's unhappy and you won't feel better until things are solved. You get nervous when your partner asks for space. You feel responsible for making other people happy all the time, often at your own expense. You’re emotionally exhausted, stuck and ready for a change. You’re ready to feel more yourself in relationships and stop overthinking, overdoing and worrying. Most of all, you’re ready to live a more connected and fulfilling life, where your needs get met, too. I want to help you get there.

My goal in treatment is for us to work through the fear and anxiety in order for you to understand yourself on a deeper level, emotionally and behaviorally.
Are you feeling unhappy or even miserable? Are you struggling with managing or coping with the stressors that are overwhelming your life? Have you tried to feel better on your own and nothing seems to be working? If the answer is yes to any of these questions and you are willing to invest in yourself, I may be able to help. We will work together using evidence-based therapeutic interventions such as Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). More often than not, I find individuals view change or a transition as uncomfortable and scary.

I am a certified EMDR therapist. Are you holding onto distress or overwhelming emotions tied to past scary or traumatic events? Did you grow up in a chaotic environment or have caregivers who couldn't meet your needs? Maybe you are currently navigating major life transitions like reproductive trauma or grief. Perhaps you continue to engage in behaviors despite knowing they no longer serve you. Would you like help confronting something you're avoiding, establishing healthy boundaries, or deepening connection and intimacy with those you care about? If you answered yes to any of these, EMDR may be right for you.

Anxiety looks different in every child, but no matter what form it takes, it can be excruciating for both the child and the parent.
I teach kids and teens to better understand and cope with anxiety, strategies/skills for managing panic and excessive worry, how to avoid avoidance, and to regain feelings of control and competence. I help parents learn how to support their child’s efforts to master their anxiety, to feel a part of the solution, and to feel hope rather than helplessness.

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.
