Primarily, I see people with anxiety disorders, depression, fears and phobias and individuals who are interested in personal growth.
I am passionate about my work with individuals, couples and families. My ideal clients are people who are mature and interested in personal growth. I derive satisfaction from helping people connect more deeply to an inner knowledge of themselves. I believe if you discover the patterns in your life that aren't working and are able to substitute new ways of problem solving and communicating then balance and harmony are restored. This provides an opportunity to discover a deeper connection and purpose to life and relationships.

I work with people who are experiencing symptoms of depression, generalized anxiety, social anxiety, panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, substance use, ADHD, insomnia, and chronic pain.
If sadness, worry, stress, chronic pain, insomnia, and/or difficulty concentrating is holding you back from getting what you want out of life, it is time to seek help. These symptoms can sometimes slow down, or even prevent, success in school, at work, and with relationships. I can help you understand how your thought and behavior patterns may be contributing to your symptoms, and how to change them so you can feel better. Your treatment plan and your goals are up to you; you decide what you want to change and how you'd like me to help you make those changes.

I have experience with Women’s Issues, Anxiety, Depression, Grief and Relationship/Attachment Issues.
From personal & professional experience, the only way to fix something is to see it. There are many things in life we choose not to see, or we are so distracted/overwhelmed we cannot see them. However painful or ugly they are, they must be explored in order to figure out how we can make life better. I am here, as your mental health partner, to walk this path with you. I received my Master degree in Mental Health Counseling from Wayne State University. Over the years, I have had the most blessed opportunity to help my mental health partners find their magnifying glass and choose the tools, already within, to fine tune life’s issues.

Anxiety, depression, stress, life changes, relationship struggles, and work dissatisfaction are just some of the factors that might be leading you to seek help.
There is no health without mental health. I really like this slogan which was recently used to promote National Mental Health Awareness Month. It reminds us that maintaining mental health is not optional, but essential to our capacity to live fully and joyfully. I would also note that psychotherapy is not only helpful for when we are struggling, but it also can help us when things are going well! Therapy can provide a safe and consistent space for us to continue to grow in self-awareness, empathy and wisdom. I have served as a Master's level licensed psychologist since 2005.

Additionally, I have extensive experience treating anxiety and depression in individual psychotherapy, as well as working with relationship and professional issues.
I have extensive experience working with individuals and couples. Couple's work is helpful for restoring intimacy, closeness, and communication. Couples work can also be useful for one's individual psychotherapy as partners often help to bring attention to areas of life which have been neglected. Long-term relationships have ups and downs, multiple stressors, as well as developmental phases, which can rupture relationships. Couples therapy is very dynamic. A well-trained couples' therapist can bring a marriage back from the brink of disaster allowing an entire family to avoid the trauma and financial devastation of divorce.

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.
