Is your teen struggling with anxiety, low self-esteem, or big transitions that feel hard to manage?
Before becoming a therapist, I spent a decade as a professional school counselor. I’ve supported young people through academic pressure, friendship issues, identity development, grief, family change, and the everyday emotional struggles that come with adolescence. This background gives me a unique insight into how teens think, and how to support parents.

I utilize a trauma-informed approach integrating EMDR and CBT to help clients heal from anxiety and past trauma.
You think fast, feel deeply, and hold a lot for everyone else. To the world, you're the steady one. But internally? You're running 10 open tabs at once: tracking every family dynamic, scanning for outcomes, and managing unspoken needs. You're the go-to problem solver, but you can't think your way out of this level of exhaustion. I work with deep thinkers who are stuck in overdrive. Together, we look at the systems you're navigating and start shifting the patterns that leave you feeling stuck and overwhelmed.

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.
