There are times in life when things seem unmanagable. For some, those moments occur constantly in our day to day lives, for others it's during times of unexpected stressors, during transitions or during tragedy. Therapy is an excellent way to seek support for any time you feel you can't cope with "this" anymore whatever that "this" may be. I can help you learn ways to cope with stress, anxiety and depression, as well as process grief, loss and trauma in your journey of healing and walk along side you on your path to improve well-being.

Do your thoughts and emotions spiral out of control? Are you often seen as "too sensitive", or "overdramatic"? Or does everyone assume you're fine until you explode, only to feel really guilty after? But it seems like nobody listens unless you yell, and then the yelling just reinforces all the critical thoughts you had about yourself to begin with? Sometimes it’s easier to focus on everyone else’s problems instead of getting your own needs met. I love helping burnt-out caregivers, and people-pleasers, learn how to control their thoughts and emotions, communicate their needs, live in the moment, and finally feel good enough.

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.
