I view therapy as transformation through relationship - a safe haven where exploration, development and change can take place. Therapy can be utilized whether or not you are experiencing severe distress, have a curiosity about you and your world, or are finding yourself unsatisfied with your current relationships, or circumstances. I have extensive clinical experience in treating the following mental health issues in children and adults: depression, anxiety, trauma, grief and loss. It is important to take care of yourself and if we are a good fit, we can make sure you get what you need.

My goal is to help you achieve your goals. Having done this work for 30 years the issues that have sadly remained consistent are the high levels of child sexual abuse and adult sexual assault, depression, anxiety, and substance abuse. A significant number of people will have an assault in their lifetime, so you are not alone. My doc dissertation was on sexual trauma, resilience (surviving), & posttraumatic growth (thriving). I am dedicated to all types of trauma and see that people can not only get better but they can choose the life they wish to live, often with help of a therapist and a desire to change.

My specialty is working with people who have anxiety or have gone through traumatic experiences.
Have you "always been a worrier?" Are your thoughts racing, spiraling you into despair? Do people keep telling you to stop worrying but you can't? Are you thinking the worst case scenario right now?" You may be having difficulty sleeping, be short on patience, or snapping at people you love. If you are nervous right now because too many things on this list remind you, you may be struggling with anxiety. If your worrying is causing you to enjoy life less or is keeping you from getting things done, I would love to help.

My clinical experience includes working with clients that have suffered from trauma and abuse (generational, sexual, physical, and emotional), as well as Depression, Anxiety, Bipolar Disorder, Schizophrenia, and Personality Disorders.
I like to take a comprehensive, collaborative approach to treatment and focus on building a professional and positive relationship versus treating a diagnosis. To me, it is important to build a genuine relationship based on trust, openness and honesty, that emphasizes meeting the client where they’re at. I believe the client is an expert in their own lives and my role is to help them become a healthier, happier version of themselves.

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.
