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.

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.
