The way we respond to, cope with, or face our challenges can either build us up or tear us down. We each have a unique story of obstacles and life changes that can be difficult and discouraging to navigate alone. Together, we can identify stressors, build confidence, reduce
anxiety
, and create a plan of action that works best for you, your child, and your family. Thus, each client's counseling journey should be personal to reflect their story. My clinical experience includes working with children, adolescents, and adults who struggle with various presenting issues such as depression,
anxiety
, anger, self- image, grief, and trauma.

anxiety
and improved sleep as well as mood.
My specialty is clinical health psychology and mind-body integration. I use traditional as well as newer integrative models of understanding illness and pathways to healing. My clinical experience has been that we all have powerful self-healing capacities to create the change we want in our life. I view my role in the therapy process as a facilitator to help you discover and actualize these untapped abilities.

My clients tend to be people who march to the beat of their own drum. They know what it’s like to feel misunderstood, and some might go as far as to consider themselves “black sheep” or even outcasts. My approach to counseling involves embracing your unique identity and letting go of expectations others may have put onto you. Whether you are working through depression,
anxiety
, relationship troubles, or uncertainty, I want to help you become your most authentic self.

Healing and making life changes is what therapy is all about. I work with adolescents and adults using approaches encompassing spiritual, cognitive, behavioral, insight, and EMDR to make this happen. EMDR is a physiologically based method of therapy I use with many clients who have post traumatic stress, disturbing memories,
anxiety
and/or a history of abuse. This ranges from trauma experienced by veterans of wars, crime, and natural disasters to childhood emotional and physical abuse to varying degrees. Together we will match your therapy needs with the optimum approach for your healing and facilitation of change.

Helping clients find their authentic self is my passion. Life can be hard! Trauma,
anxiety
, stress, relationship issues, depression and more can cause people to lose themself. Finding ways to cope with and free themselves from negative thoughts,
fears
, pain and trauma through useful tools, self-talk, and changing thought patterns is vital for my clients. As we walk through the pains, struggles and frustrations of life, my clients are able to see themselves for who they are and who they want to be. Freedom, peace, self-confidence and joy are found.

As we journey through life, our experiences, relationships, environment, culture, identity, and significant moments play a role in shaping who we are and who we want to become. The therapeutic process is where the intersectionality of our current reality meets our desired change. It takes courage to seek help, be vulnerable, and grow. Anjaly creates a therapeutic space where clients are received with honor and grace. No matter where clients are in their healing and growth journey, Anjaly desires that clients know they are not alone.

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.
