My main areas of experience include depression, anxiety, adjustment disorders, grief work and addictions using the disease model.
As a therapist I believe in the strength and resilience of the human spirit. We are all doing the best we can with what we have at any point in time. My part is to provide a safe environment where you can explore your thoughts and feelings and what changes you might want to make. Even change for the better can be difficult, and I am both humbled and inspired by the strength of the people I have worked with as I support them through those changes.

Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, trauma, burnout, depression or a sense of disconnection, we’ll work together to help you feel more at home in your body and more present in your life.
Do you feel disconnected from yourself—like you're living in your head, always “on,” but rarely grounded? Therapy can help you come home to your body and reclaim a sense of presence, safety, and wholeness. I work with individuals who are ready to move beyond talk therapy alone and deepen their awareness of what’s happening beneath the surface. Many of us carry stress, trauma, and emotional overwhelm in our bodies—often without realizing it. In our work together, we’ll slow down, tune into your nervous system, and help you build a more compassionate and connected relationship with yourself.

Michael Scott from The Office once said "Society teaches us that having feelings and crying is bad and wrong. Well, that's baloney, because grief isn't wrong. There's such a thing as good grief. Just ask Charlie Brown." As a therapist, I would agree with Michael and add that all feelings are right and good and meaningful but sometimes we can get stuck in negative thought patterns, relationship conflicts, painful feelings or avoidance strategies. We sometimes need help to create and develop new tools for handling those difficult thoughts or situations.

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.
