I provide a safe space where you and I can explore the emotions and experiences that characterize your successes and struggles. We will work collaboratively to explore yourself, identify your needs and work to create the life you want or work through what isn't working for you. Much of my work is with individuals who are experiencing issues related to anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and trauma. Every person is unique, and I believe every person demands an approach specifically tailored for them.

Mental health is how we think, feel and act as we cope with life. It helps determine how we handle stress, relate to others and make choices. Like physical health, mental health is important at every stage of life, from childhood and adolescence through adulthood. Everyone feels worried, anxious, sad or stressed sometimes. But with a mental illness, these feelings do not go away and are severe enough to interfere with your daily life. It can make it hard meeting and keeping friends, hold a job or enjoy life. "Get plugged In". You cannot wish your problems away. Therapy can help.

I work with trauma and anxiety related to experiences of race-based stress, childhood, narcissistic abuse, and sexual trauma.
You’re not where you were and that’s something to be proud of. Yet there’s still so much you’re holding on to. You’ve tried moving on, only to have the smallest thing serve as a reminder that nothing is safe and no one can be fully trusted. There are days when you feel okay. Then a slight interaction derails your whole day. Your mind races and your body feels like it’s not your own. Disconnecting from your thoughts and feelings has only gotten you so far, and you know it’s time to finally take the next step. I can help you feel less overwhelmed, recover from past trauma, and feel more present in your daily life.

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.
