Does it feel like you and your partner are more like roommates than a couple? Maybe the spark is gone, conversations feel surface-level, or you're stuck in the same arguments on repeat. Maybe you barely talk anymore, or it’s all about schedules, kids, & chores. You miss the connection you used to have but aren’t sure how to get back there. You’re not alone. Many couples face challenges like miscommunication, frequent arguments, or feeling disconnected. Pressures of daily life can leave you feeling stuck, frustrated, & unsure how to move forward. I help couples rebuild emotional closeness, improve communication, & find their way back

I have a number of speciality areas (including Depression, Anxiety, Addictions, & Creativity) and have worked in a variety of settings including Vanderbilt University's Psychological and Counseling Center.
Together we will find the right path, and right set of practical tools, to help you overcome obstacles and become your best self. After nearly 25 years working in mental health, I am skilled in the latest, evidence-based therapies available (e.g., Relational Mindfulness and Acceptance & Commitment Therapy). But no single approach works for all people at all times and, remaining flexible, we will create a safe therapeutic environment with the best combination of techniques that works for you. So many different psychotherapies exist today because there is no one approach that works at all times.

We live in a day in age where the thoughts of therapy can seem taboo or as if something is wrong with us. The truth is, we all can use a little help with everyday positive and negative stressors, decision making, and an open nonjudgmental person to talk to. Therapy can help with putting goals into perspective. Therapy can help with assisting us in navigating self-care, positive reflection, cognitive distortion and more. As your therapist my job is not to mold an individual's life or interest into what I feel it should be. I want to encourage independence, self-confidence, and empower individuals to grow into their best selves.

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.
