I am a relationally-focused clinician dedicated to helping others reach their full potential. I offer a safe space for anyone to share whatever they need and be whatever they need to be. I am relationally-focused because I believe we can experience greater awareness and understanding of ourselves, others and our struggles from exploring how we experience the past and present relationships in our lives. These struggles can manifest in many different forms which can include
anxiety

Having had meaningful therapy experiences myself, I know what a difference it can make. I work primarily with Millennials and Gen Z's and find myself connecting strongly to those who experience
anxiety

Counseling with me is authentic and whole hearted (with a dash of humor!). I am going to do my absolute best to ensure you feel seen, heard, accepted for who you are.

Common concerns I address with clients include
anxiety
, depression, life transitions, women’s issues, and relationship issues to name a few.
Therapy can seem intimidating! Everyone is talking about it, but what can you expect? You can expect a warm safe atmosphere to lay down that baggage you've been carrying. You can expect to feel seen and heard without judgment. You can feel empowered to achieve your goals. Allow me to walk alongside you on this incredible journey! I am available to work with individuals, couples, and families. As a Black therapist, I'm passionate about offering representation to clients who don't often get to see themselves reflected in their healthcare providers. For this reason, I especially enjoy the opportunity to work with people of color.

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.
