Understanding things like anxiety trauma as they present throughout the life span takes education and experience.
I look forward to helping with issues that have been hurting you and your loved ones. For some people it’s anxiety or depression affecting them in the here and now. For others it’s about something that happened to them years ago and continues to interfere in their life today. It may also be simply a recent change at work, pressures at home, friends, or school. Whatever the reason is, I am here for you. I work with you in a client centered manner, often using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, to identify a goal that fits your needs and help you achieve that goal. I generally work with adults and teens, individually, or as a family.

This last year has been so draining and you're just trying to stay afloat. Your anxiety keeps telling you that you have a million things that are left to get accomplished, and your depression is right there to tag in, making you feel terrible for not getting anything done on your list. You are trying to balance difficult co-workers, keeping (and maintaining) friendships, juggling 4 different schedules, and trying to keep your house from looking like a bomb went off. You smile through the day being a great pretender, only to be alone with your thoughts at night and feeling like you’re failing at adulting.

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.
