Anyone, at any given time, across any geographical or demographical divide, can experience emotional distress and compensatory adaptive behaviors to recalibrate and/or regulate. This is the human condition. Yet, when this distress is prolonged, and behaviors once adaptive become maladaptive, the emotions are harder to regulate, and evidence of this is seen in key domains of functioning: intellectual, interpersonal, intrapersonal, occupational, and educational.

No matter what brings one to therapy - seeking relief from symptoms, difficult relationships, or a quest for inner balance and calm - certain components could prove essential for a successful outcome. One of these components is the client's active participation in the process; another - treatment tailored to individual needs; and, most importantly, a safe and welcoming environment and the therapist's open-minded attitude. These principles serve as my ethical framework, while my approach to treatment is primarily guided by training in Psycho-dynamic Psychotherapy and my experience working with clients of diverse backgrounds.

We all experience difficult moments in our lives, and usually we have the tools to handle them. But when we consistently feel overwhelmed, stuck, trapped, fearful, helpless or empty, psychotherapy can help us become more conscious of what's behind our troubles and move to resolve them. As a result, relationships, self-esteem and life circumstances improve. I work to develop a caring, supportive and trusting relationship with my clients, so they can feel safe to explore their past, honestly look at their feelings, thoughts and behaviors, and move towards positive change.

My ideal client is one who is curious about and interested in making the changes necessary to achieve their stated goals. I work with people who have reached the limits of their ways for navigating the relationships in life that are no longer satisfying, desireous or life enhancing..

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.
