Sometimes this looks like cultivating self-compassion, or soothing the inner critic, or drawing on mindfulness and other practical tools to help manage anxiety, stress, or other challenging inner states.
Growth seekers, counselors (especially counselors in training), and those with loud inner critics are all good fits for my style. Some of my focus areas include adult ADHD, anxiety, stress, transitions, boundaries, body image, family relationships, attachment, codependency, and relationship issues. I am LGBTQIA+ allied and also love to work with folks from those communities. If you’re ready to grow, I’m ready to support you along the way.

It takes courage to ask for help; you have already taken the first step. Life throws us situations we don't anticipate or have encountered before and we need help getting through. You are here because you or someone you care about is in pain. You have come to the right place. We have all had those times when we need someone besides family and friends to talk to. People come to me for a variety of reasons: anxiety and depression, relationship problems, family issues, emotional and social struggles, rebuilding self-esteem, teen difficulties, general life transitions, and personal growth.

Feelings of anxiety, depression, and relationship struggles are incredibly common.
Do you feel overwhelmed by emotions? Many of us do. We try to push them away until one day that no longer works, and then we panic. Maybe you struggle with worry, a fierce inner critic, trauma, or feeling sad or numb. Perhaps a difficult break-up or loss feels unbearable. Maybe you'd like more clarity about your feelings and how to express your emotions. If this sounds like you, I'd like to help. As painful as these times can be, there is potential for deep personal growth. I can help you find some relief from these struggles, and in the process come away with greater self-awareness, confidence and self-compassion.

I work with individuals, couples, and families across the lifespan with various presentations, including anxiety, depression, trauma/PTSD, ADHD, autism, identity exploration, and relationship issues.
Psychotherapy is a window for self-discovery. For me, this process centers around the therapeutic relationship. In collaboration, I can help you better understand historical patterns, with yourself and others, while creating a contained, consistent, and reparative relational experience. Through this exploration, we look beyond what exists on the surface to understand and address the root causes of challenging thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. This is how we can live our most authentic lives.

My therapeutic style is collaborative, empathetic, and person-centered. Clients I typically work with have presenting concerns such as anxiety, depression, and trauma. Depending on a client’s individual needs, I utilize a variety of modalities such as Psychodynamic and EMDR. I find it helpful if clients explore their past traumas and/or attachments. In many cases our adoption of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors acquired during our early years, which may have served us, hinder our ability to function optimally as adults. I only work in-person as this is relational work.

Mindfulness-based individual therapy and couples counseling: I support my clients through life transitions, grief, depression, anxiety, addiction, and other emotional challenges.

I love working in the areas of optimal performance, like in sports and performance enhancement or overcoming fears, of performance, of driving, etc.
In my psychotherapy sessions, I like to include Biofeedback monitoring of heart rate and breathing chemistry to give me useful information in treatment planning and to help empower clients in greater self-regulation/self-control. I provide many skills for clients to practice. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral techniques along with psychophysiological (biofeedback), transpersonal, and Somatic Experiencing stress and trauma release approaches. I also work with optimizing performance in any area whether sports, music, speaking, acting, or reducing anxiety. My motto is OPT for the BEST which is my acronym for Optimal Performance Training for the Body, Emotions, Spirit, and Thoughts.

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.
