Learn grounding techniques to help calm and regulate your nervous system when you are feeling anxious and gain tools to better understand the varied emotions you feel on a daily basis.
I specialize in working with individuals who are experiencing challenges in all areas of their lives. Anxiety and depression can affect our lives in so many ways such as: relationship struggles, intimacy, those seeking a feeling of security, wanting to feel trust, over/under achieving, parenting skills, and other emotional difficulties. We all store memories, experiences and emotions in our bodies. Which means, that it’s not just “all in your head”; rather, our bodies hold information we can use as well. Using my skills in EMDR and IFS we can work through these thoughts, feelings and emotions to heal those parts of you.

As a certified trauma and anxiety therapist I use talk therapy as well as mind-body techniques such as EMDR and tapping to help people gain control over their circumstances.
I specialize in anxiety, trauma, faith transition, and immigration evaluations. Many people in any of these circumstances feel like they are the only one, or like they are going crazy. If you’re feeling overwhelmed and without stress management or coping skills, I can help you in a way that works best for you. If you're going through a difficult faith transition or have experienced religious trauma, this has likely led to a change in your identity, shifting beliefs, changes in your important relationships, and a lot of anxiety, or to feeling like everything you once believed is now in question.

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.
