You may be feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or uncertain — whether it’s depression, anxiety, addiction, trauma, or navigating a major life transition.
Whether it's unhelpful thought patterns, relational stress, or deeper emotional blocks, we can work together to build healthier coping skills. Using a strengths-based, motivational interviewing approach as well as EMDR, I support clients in understanding their motivations, make shifts, sustain recovery, improve emotional regulation and process trauma.

The challenges of life can leave us feeling anxious, overwhelmed, depressed, or frustrated.
As a grief and trauma therapist, I have found that combining techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing) Therapy can be effective at overcoming distressing beliefs and help to process trauma-related symptoms. Faith-based counseling is also available for those who seek a more spiritual approach to therapy.

I believe therapy is about understanding what we’ve been through—how our early experiences might still shape how we relate to ourselves, others, and the world around us. Often, we find ourselves caught in emotional patterns that once helped us survive, but now leave us feeling stuck, disconnected, or dissatisfied. In therapy, I help clients explore these patterns with curiosity and compassion, so they can better understand themselves and what they need to move forward. I offer a warm, nurturing, and non-judgmental space where your emotional experiences are not only welcome—they’re essential to the work.

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.
