I have treated many people with social anxiety, and am also a bereavement therapist.
As a clinical therapist, I help people who are struggling with feelings of anxiety, depression and loss. I teach my clients to practice what I call "the reverse golden rule": treat yourself as you would treat others! We are often so critical of ourselves, while with a friend we would be kind, supportive, compassionate. My 20+ years of experience have given me the tools to work using an eclectic approach that I tailor to each client. I offer a comfortable, safe environment where you can explore your thoughts and feelings, where you can feel heard, understood and validated.

Your surroundings began to shrink as time went on due to what unfolded. You were jolted as a direct result of this event. As a child, you were a completely different person you're today; you're paralyzed by anxiety, unable to cope with stress, fearing you are losing control and feeling isolated. There was a time when you could deal with stress better than you can now. Or maybe you thought you were doing well even after what happened to you as a child, but now things started to feel overwhelmed, and you are tired of hiding your emotions as it takes too much energy most of the time.

As an experienced anxiety & codependency therapist, I believe that you can live a calm, confident, and fulfilled life.
Are you overwhelmed with anxiety and stress no matter what you do? Do you constantly criticize yourself for small mistakes? You may be fed up with never feeling good enough & caring for everyone else before yourself. As a mixed-race woman, you want to please others but feel frustrated that you are not cared for in your relationships, you struggle with accepting help, & you feel embarrassed that you don't know how to hold it all together. You might not even remember when things didn’t feel this way. But one thing is for sure: you’re ready for relief. You're ready to feel calm, secure in yourself, & more adaptive to life's challenges.

I am a Stanford trained psychologist who works collaboratively with adults who are experiencing anxiety, relationships and attachment issues, divorce/betrayal trauma or challenging life circumstances.

I also work with women experiencing anxiety and moods issues related to menopause. My style is warm and casual and I like to bring humor to my sessions.

The clients I work with often feel different in some way, either because of neurodivergence, trauma, giftedness, or intense anxiety. Simply put, they process the world differently. The parents I see are doing their best to support their children's self-regulation even as they manage their own confusion and fatigue. They are looking for a guide rather than endless parenting blogs. My young adult clients are looking for ways to manage self-criticism, anxiety, and perfectionism. Frequently, they are processing trauma, striving to develop a balanced sense of self, and learning how to navigate relationships.

My practice is rooted in the idea that symptoms such as anxiety, disruption, or discontent can guide us in life if we step beyond formulas and certainties, toward a more curious and imaginative mode of being. By artfully seeking to understand emotional suffering, and through deepening relational connection, we can arrive at relief and healing. Uncovering and accommodating what has been previously outside of awareness releases meaning and allows for greater freedom of thought, self-expression, and wholeness.

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.
