My areas of specialty are navigating life transitions, 'helping the helpers', mindful pain management, and anxiety.

I understand how fear and doubt can keep one from reaching out, connecting, recognizing their obstacles, and realizing their path and potential.

I use a variety of therapy models and techniques, tailoring my approach to a client's individual needs. One size does not fit all.

Or, you encounter physical demands including irregular hours & physical exertion, that can lead to fatigue and health concerns. Balancing a demanding career with personal and family life can be particularly challenging. You are more susceptible to mental health challenges such as anxiety, depression and stress.

Rest assured, there is hope! I've worked with many wonderful and brave clients like you who've learned to calm their anxious minds and nervous systems for good.
Things weren’t always this way. There was a time when you could experience good things without waiting for the other shoe to drop. You used to be able to easily complete tasks that these days require all your effort just to start. But somewhere along the way, things changed. Now, everything is a struggle. You spend hours endlessly overanalyzing past conversations and situations, parsing them for mistakes you may have made. You hate the idea of letting anyone down, so you’re determined to be perfect. And when you inevitably fall short of this unattainable ideal, you criticize yourself for being a failure. Things can’t go on this way.

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.
