I've worked with many populations, but I'd say my specialties are mood disorders, anxiety, eating disorders, substance use disorders, psychotic disorders, personality disorders, bereavement, and life transitions. Throughout my career, I realized how difficult the road to recovery was for patients with those diagnoses. They often expressed to me how previous providers had given up on them, and I wanted to be the one who would be in it with them for the long haul.

I’ve always had a passion for problem solving, helping others sort through their challenges and helping create a balance they struggled to find on their own. As a child I’ve witnessed substance abuse and domestic violence within my family and community.

My goal is to meet you where you are and together mend those shattered pieces one step at a time through gaining insight, healing, happiness, and peace.

Understanding our feelings and emotions is not always an easy task. Our daily endeavors and experiences can very easily generate feelings of anxiety, sadness, stress, loss. Our minds are not always equipped with the fuel they need to proceed through a challenging time. People in our lives make choices that impact us in a negative way, causing us to feel emotions that seem completely out of our control. At times, we can get overwhelmed with life’s unpredictabilities and struggles, and we may need to reach out to a trusted friend for help.

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.
