I specialize in working with youth struggling with Anxiety, Depression, Mood Disorders, and Trauma as well as behavioral and conduct problems.
Do you have a child or adolescent who is dealing with big emotions? Does your child struggle with anxiety, depression, or other aspects of their mental health? Is your child showing some behavioral problems in school or at home? It can be incredibly difficult watching your child struggle. It’s often just as difficult for children and adolescents to communicate those struggles to others. That’s where I would like to help.

In addition to evidence-based practices such as Solution-Focused Brief Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, I utilize biofeedback with breath work and mindfulness for anxiety.
Sometimes difficult life circumstances are too much to bear without help. Past trauma can come flooding back and keep you stuck in painful memories that include fear, anxiety, depression and grief. Chronic illness such as dementia or cancer can turn the lives of family members upside down, in an attempt to meet care needs. As you attempt to focus on career and family, you can sometimes find yourself blocked from achieving long-held goals and dreams. My 7 decades of life experience, along with specialized psychological training, give me a practical perspective to help you navigate your difficult life circumstances.

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.
