Life can be hard. At different times, people seek out therapy when the ways they have used to navigate challenges no longer work. I can help. Sometimes unrealistic and/or unhealthy thoughts and beliefs can get us stuck. I help unwind those thoughts, connect to your inner strength, and find your way back to living life on your own terms. I know that it is not easy to be burdened with depression, anxiety, OCD or trauma. Your performance at work, your relationships, your sleep and even your health can all be affected. You deserve a life that you love. I am dedicated to helping you discover your inner strength in a safe space.

Hello! If you take care of others and often feel anxious and burned out, you're in the right place. I help healers and caregivers who feel overwhelmed and burned out to feel valued and grounded by supporting deep self-reflection and boundary-setting. You may have an overloaded to-do list and feel unappreciated by your loved ones. Growing up, you may not have had great emotional-repair role models, so you learned how to wear a smile and "move on." Sometimes, these old pains resurface, but you don't know how to process and heal so you can react with irritability.

My role, as a counselor, is to walk alongside my clients to help draw out and direct all that inherent strength and resourcefulness.

It’s a new day and you’re disappointed the sun even came up…overwhelmed is the best word to describe you. Sadness waves through you. Sleep is elusive or sometimes you sleep too much. Worry engulfs you. You know exercise is supposed to help. But you don’t have an ounce of energy. The self-criticism that floats through your head can feel like it’s drowning you. You feel helpless and drained. No one knows you’re feeling this way. Sometimes you think that you should be able to pull yourself up by the bootstraps. But you just can’t. And you’ve tried so many different times. Everything you’ve tried has failed. Now what?

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.
