Are you carrying more than your share, feeling unseen, or simply running on empty? Whether you're dealing with stress, grief, burnout, relationship strain, or just trying to find your footing in a world that demands so much, you're not alone, and you don't have to figure it out by yourself. I work with adults who want a calm, confidential space to be honest, explore what’s weighing on them, and begin to heal or make meaningful change. Many of my clients are women in caregiving roles, men who’ve been taught to tough it out silently, or people navigating family transitions, loss, and identity shifts.

Throw in some anxiety, depression, life events, and a few relationship issues, and NOW it feels like the hard days outweigh the easy ones.

I provide therapy to people from all walks of life and tailor counseling to each individual. I meet people right where they are to help them take steps towards the life they want. I believe that people who struggle with their thoughts and feelings are often just looking for a way to be the person they want to be and sometimes get lost along the way. They want to hold true to their personal values when making choices but have trouble finding a way forward. I believe that, through therapy, people can learn new and creative ways to respond to those thoughts and feelings so they can get back to living a life guided by their values.

Grief does not always look like sadness - it can show up as anxiety, numbness, irritability, or feeling stuck.
I have sat with enough grief—my own and others’—to know that the hardest part is rarely the moment of loss. It’s the long, quiet after. It’s the empty seat at the table. My practice grew from late-night conversations with people who felt alone in their grief. From love for people and for the sacred, the human truth that our stories matter.

This trauma may include abandonment, betrayal, shame, and verbal/emotional or physical abuse - and may show up as anxiety, depression, difficulty in relationships or moving forward, and more.

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.
