Many who come to me don't describe themselves as depressed or anxious.
If you are not living life as you had hoped, I can help you identify and work through the cause. I blend cutting edge academic psycho-therapeutic theory and clinical skills with 25+ years of empathetic and effective clinical practice. I am a former tenured professor of psychiatry at Southern Illinois University School of Medicine and a resident researcher Heidelberg University (Germany) and Lviv National Medical University (Ukraine). In addition to providing counseling and psychotherapy to a broad spectrum of people, I am an experienced supervisor of a wide range of mental health professionals both nationally and internationally. I offer care that ranges from problem solving to in-depth exploration and change of feelings/behaviors that interfere with attaining relational and professional goals.

While I specialize in these areas, I also work with grief, depression, anxiety, hopelessness, and eating disorders.
If you are ready to rekindle the fire between you and your partner, or... If you are ready to whittle the last chips of wood to reveal the masterpiece of you, then you are in the right place. The relationship between client and therapist is important. I work to meet clients where they are, paying special attention to creativity and positive human potential. I seek to uncover and establish an empathic, trusting, and comprehensive relationship with each of my clients providing the context for understanding the challenges and difficulties that brings them into therapy.

I specialize in eating disorder recovery, addictions, ADHD, anxiety, prenatal/postpartum support, relationship struggles, divorce, healing shame and trauma recovery.
Cultivating joy and healthy habits requires creating a consistent space to practice and learn new ways of being. Did you know your mind is more wired to produce anxiety and depression than joy? There is nothing wrong with you! You just didn't learn the skills that generate more joy, calm and acceptance; this is what leads to long-term fulfillment and happiness. Burnout, abandoning your dreams, anxiety, overwhelm, feeling lost, an extra glass of wine-all can lead to a vicious cycle of not feeling good. I can help you break that cycle. Integrating the body, breath practices, and neuroscience into therapy helps bring lasting changes.

My clients generally function well in the world and reach out to me because they are facing a challenge that seems formidable with their current tools. Some of these challenges follow a recurring pattern, some are new; nearly all are overwhelming and my clients feel stuck. My individual clients commonly feel ungrounded, disoriented, lonely, scared, stressed and unsure of how to move forward. My couple clients are commonly experiencing a lack of connection, communication frustrations, and oftentimes one or both partners feel misunderstood or not at all understood by their partner.

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.
