Don't worry, you won't be doing it alone- I'm here to help.
I believe even our biggest hang ups and flaws can be used as strengths if we just know how to work with them. You don't have to keep beating yourself up in an effort to change (spoiler alert: it doesn't work). I can teach you how to offer yourself some much needed grace and compassion so you can start seeing the changes and outcomes you want in life.

Sometimes the ways we learned to cope growing up show up later as anxiety, people-pleasing, or difficulty trusting ourselves in relationships.
My approach is warm, honest, and collaborative. I draw from NARM, CBT, DBT, and attachment-based work — and I use the Enneagram as an optional tool for clients who find it useful. More than any specific method, I'm interested in what's actually true for you and what gets in the way of living from that place.

I believe that we all have a deep well of wisdom within us, and my role as a therapist is to be a guide to help you tap into yours. I choose to focus on your strengths, to help you see them, and to use a collaborative approach as we work together on a journey of growth and healing. I specialize in maternal mental health, infertility, bereavement, trauma, and relationship struggles.

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.
