Clients describe me as warm, engaging and invested in joining them in their wish to feel better and to live in ways that more closely resemble who they want to be. I work with individuals and families dealing with a variety of challenges:
anxiety
and depression, difficulties in relationships with partners, sexual orientation and parenting dilemmas as well as general struggles with life. My orientation is psychodynamic and relational and I incorporate cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness-based techniques into my work.

I am passionate about helping clients who experience depression,
anxiety
and trauma. Many of my clients feel overwhelmed with feelings of sadness, loneliness, disconnection from loved ones, frustration, or a lack of motivation. I help these clients by providing them with a warm, nonjudgmental space to talk about their feelings. My approach to therapy is psychodynamic, meaning that I help clients make connections between what happens in their lives and their innermost beliefs, desires, and wants. I place strong emphasis on having a quality therapeutic relationship based on trust and mutual regard.

I work to provide a safe space for individuals facing relationship difficulties, eating disorders,
anxiety
, depression, and trauma by engaging in an authentic therapeutic relationship that fosters self-discovery and growth.
Through life’s journeys, we often find ourselves recreating patterns to cope with the overwhelming curve balls thrown our way. These patterns can keep us stuck by preventing us from achieving our goals as well as fostering meaningful relationships. By using a relational and client-centered approach, we will work together to unravel through the stuck points, make the hard stuff easier to sit with, and develop the essential tools you need in order to gain a sense of control and balance in your life.

Do you have a desire to increase joy or abundance? Is your intellectual understanding opposite to emotional reactions? Do you feel
anxiety
, depression, or lack relationships? Is OCD blocking? Is your relationship with alcohol problematic? I offer a gentle approach for discovering an authentic more powerful self. Life is managed, explored and understood, not cured. We can discover how to listen, be heard and fulfill needs. Transformation and leadership are about intention and attention. Perhaps it's time to discover that within your own emotional prosperity, where you can truly be in charge of yourself.

I work with adults struggling with
anxiety
, depression, relationship issues, work-related problems, and many other issues.
Psychotherapy is a gift you can give yourself. If you're feeling down or you can never fully relax; it might be hard to imagine you could feel better. Maybe you keep repeating unsatisfying relationship patterns even though you want something else. These challenges, as well as many others, can interfere with the joyful, satisfying life you want. Psychotherapy can help you understand parts of yourself you don't fully know. Ultimately, this enables you to experience greater freedom and to explore new possibilities. Psychotherapy involves emotional, intellectual, and bodily experience and can therefore be deeply transformational.

I have completed specialized coursework in CBT for
Anxiety
and CBT for Chronic Pain at the Beck Institute for Cognitive Therapy and attended the IOCDF Annual OCD Conference for multiple years.
We can never prepare for everything that life will throw at us. However, we can learn strategies to better help us change what is within our control and cope with what isn’t. Being vulnerable is scary – whether this is your first time seeking therapy or you’ve been before. I want to ensure that you feel comfortable, and I strive to provide an empathic, collaborative, and non-judgmental space where we can comfortably explore what you are wrestling with and your goals. I believe that a positive client-therapist relationship built on mutual respect and honesty is essential for effective intervention and meaningful growth.

My specialties include
anxiety
, depression, relationship issues, dating and loneliness stages, family conflicts, complex trauma and PTSD.
For over 20 years, I have worked with individuals and couples who are experiencing emotional challenges within themselves, their circumstances, or in their relationships past or present, personal or professional and those with past trauma. When we don't know what the next step is to move us past these challenges, we can get stuck and from this experience, symptoms of
anxiety
, depression or both can arise. These symptoms can take us on a downward spiral in our mental-emotional health. It's time then for an experienced professional and attuned listener to assist you back towards the upward spiral of health and well being.

anxiety
, I want you to feel seen and validated during our time together so you can fully show up as yourself.

anxiety

Anxiety Therapists
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.
