We will work on helping you let go of some of what is holding you back and contributes to your stress and anxiety.
Everyone from the outside thinks you are living the perfect life; little do they know how much you are struggling on the inside. Struggling with trying to live by the “SHOULD’S” in your head, the rules, the expectations, running through your mind. No one, including those closest to you, notice the stress you are experiencing. Everyday you wake up wishing you can enjoy life free of the constant worry, without feeling a sense of anxiety and depression. By releasing some of these expectations and “should’s” you can enjoy life and cherish the small moments with the people you care about the most.

I have received additional training on Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and in practice found this a useful tool for teenage girls diagnosed with bipolar disorder, as well as anxiety and depression.
Each individual brings their own unique challenges, history, needs, and desires. In order to best serve each person, a therapist must offer a judgment and bias free atmosphere. Every client comes to therapy with a different struggle, trauma or experience and I will strive to provide a positive, meaningful experience to achieve the best possible outcome for success. I do believe a client can find an ideal therapist: a person with whom trust and rapport is built, who offers an unconditionally safe space to listen and collaborate.

I’m not sure I have an “ideal client”, however, there are populations and issues I am more comfortable in handling and have had experience in. This includes women’s issues, interpersonal relationship issues, young and older adult populations, anxiety and depressive disorders, and personality disorders. I hope we can work on challenging and reframing cognitive distortions and/or work on communication and boundary skills. I hope the goal is for them to return to a more homeostatic life and be able to develop healthier coping skills to use in everyday life.

My ideal client is a child or adolescent who is struggling with anxiety and their goal would be to learn effective coping skills and strategies to better manage this.

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.
