My specialties include anxiety, trauma, adjustment issues, behavior difficulties, and social challenges.
Youth experience a variety of transitions, challenges, and pressures. Coping with such difficulties while going to school and managing relationships is hard. Kids may show symptoms of anxiety, mood changes, behavior problems, struggles with friends, or trouble in school as a result. I want to help youth and their families get back on track. My primary approach is CBT, which focuses on how thoughts, feelings, and behavior all work together and affect our mental health. Although I use treatments backed by research, I believe my relationship with my clients is the foundation of our work together.

I graduated from the University of Southern California with a Masters degree in Social Work; a concentration on Families and Children; and a sub-concentration of Military Social Work I have experience with adolescents and adults for depression, anxiety, self-harm, trauma, coping skills; self esteem and more.
I believe that there is no "perfect therapy" for everyone. I feel that using an eclectic approach drawing from different therapeutic approaches based on the needs of the individuals is the best way to help them through whatever is facing them at that moment.I believe that therapy is fluid not straight forward. I work with each individual by meeting them where they are and helping guide them in the direction they want to go based upon what they are sharing in sessions. No one knows your issues or how to fix them better than you do; I just want to help you along your journey to healing.

Let me help you break the cycle of anxiety.
Your anxiety just won’t go away! Every day you’re plagued with incessant what-ifs and worries about what others think. The constant striving for perfection is exhausting, as is that judgmental voice in your head that keeps telling you what you did wrong or how you’re not enough. You can’t remember the last time you had a full night’s sleep. You have tried everything, and nothing has helped. Your brain just won’t stop, and if someone tells you to “relax” one more time, you’ll lose it.

You feel like your anxiety is getting the best of you and feel like you no longer have control over your thoughts, feelings, and emotions. You are noticing that even when you try to take a break and focus on yourself, that your breath catches in your chest and then you feel it…the anxiety. You have a difficult time sleeping at night because you worry about the course of events that took place that day and the laundry list of things you have to do tomorrow. Worries such as: “Did I make a mistake at work?” “What did that person think of me?” “Am I being a good Partner/Parent/Friend” swirl like a tornado in your mind.

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.
