Sometimes it feels like the world is ripping apart at the seams, and it feels like your heart can't take any more hurt. All too often, these fears are crippling, keeping us from the life God has called you to live. But no matter what the world throws at you each day-- anxiety, depression, fear, confusion, temptation -- you have a choice on how to respond. Through the practical application of God's Word, you can gain a fresh focus and purpose, become a person of character, and shine a light into your darkness.

Areas of treatment include depression, anxiety, PTSD and childhood trauma; addictions/recovery and LGBTQ issues.
There are many reasons and circumstances that move us toward seeking out therapy, but taking that first step toward healing, for most clients, can be uncertain and often anxiety provoking. From the first meeting, I strive to create a genuinely warm and collaborative space to begin building a therapeutic relationship based on feelings of safety and a sense of trust. I feel it is a unique privilege, as a therapist, to assist those struggling with emotional, physical and/or spiritual difficulties and am committed to providing individualized treatment to each client.

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.
