I believe we were each designed with love and intention, and God desires each of us to live joyful, meaningful lives. However, I know so many experiences can get in the way of how we truly want to live. I want to help you identify and overcome the obstacles and struggles that hold you back the most - stress, depression, anxiety, overwhelm, doubt, unhelpful habits, etc. - and help you discover what it looks like to live with freedom, joy, and purpose instead.

I have worked with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, eating disorders, grief/loss, marital issues, and general relationship issues.
I enjoy working with people to meet them right where they are and walk alongside them in navigating the difficult places life can bring us to. Most often these difficult places are not of our choice yet even if they are, there can be a beauty in using our pain as a stepping stone to change paths towards growth and healing.

People can also feel anxious and depressed and alone while trying to understand what is going on.
Are you having trouble trying to be the person you want to be in a relationship? Do you have some ideas about why things got the way they are, but can't seem to figure out how to change them? And it seems like such a shame, because you want to be closer if only you could figure out how. If you have the energy and desire, then we can almost always find a way. Give me a call or send me an e-mail and we can talk about what might be possible.

I have experience treating individuals with anxiety and depression as well, which are common for people to suffer without knowing quite how to make it better, or if that's even possible.
*Both teletherapy and in-person visits offered* I focus mainly on Eating Disorder treatment, and I always have a heart for healing the relationship with food and your body. I also enjoy working with couples and families to repair difficult or hurtful relationships with those you love. I view my clients not as hopeless or crazy, but simply as genuine people going through a rough time in their life, who need a little help finding their path.

I have worked with adolescents, adults, couples, and groups on challenges such as anxiety, depression, negative self-esteem and self-image, assertiveness, interpersonal boundaries, grief and loss, chronic illness, and relational and life adjustment issues.
Surviving instead of thriving? Are feelings of anxiety, depression, sadness, or a general lack of meaning and purpose stealing your joy? Are past hurts, future uncertainties, or difficult relationships distracting you from enjoying life? You are not alone, and help is available. It is easy to let weeks and months go by as long as we are functioning adequately. Yet gaining a better understanding of why you think, feel, and act the way you do can replace guilt with curiosity and empower you to live with more confidence, intentionality, and freedom.

I specialize in helping people work through PTSD, Complex Trauma, Addictions Issues, Sexual abuse and perpetration, Anxiety, Depression, ADHD and relational difficulties, among others.
I have over 25 years of experience working with at-risk youth (10 years old and up), adults, families and couples. I partner with them to help them overcome significant difficulties and trauma from the past, including sexual, physical and emotional abuse and neglect. I firmly believe that identity (who you are) and behavior (what you do) are two distinct things. Your behavior does not determine your identity. I help my clients to examine core beliefs that are contributing to their current difficulties, to help them to decide which ones are true and helpful, and which ones are not, to bring about true and lasting change.

Depressed? Anxious? PTSD? Marital conflict? Unwanted emotions and the painful past seem to continually create difficulty? These are a few of the reasons individuals and couples come to see me.

Areas of specialty for me include overcoming personal insecurities, relational issues, effects of an adverse childhood, depression, anxiety/fear, and stress management.
I'm a warm, accepting, and empathetic therapist, but I will also give honest and direct feedback when it’s helpful. I became a therapist because I’ve always enjoyed listening to understand, which often leads to clarity and ideas for resolution. I've been a full time therapist since 2015 (I spent three years as a therapeutic case manager after graduating in 2012). I offer couples a safe place to communicate feelings and concerns with support so that each partner can be heard and better understood. I offer individuals a place to process thoughts and emotions with helpful questions and brief insights to find healing and resolve.

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.
