I aim to build out space where you can express your feelings and experience relating to topics such as anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and areas of need in a way that allows you to explore open and expressive communication.
Finding space to center your presence in what matters most to you is important but sometimes it feels difficult to protect our time and energy. We seek out therapy for many different reasons, but you find that you want to mindfully reflect on your personal history and make helpful changes that increase your abilities to cope with challenges you face, set healthy boundaries, and develop a deeper knowledge of your personal beliefs.

Not being true to yourself takes a LOT of effort; it can be both depressing and anxiety provoking.
Top Ten Reasons For Therapy: 10) It's good to talk to someone who accepts you unconditionally. 9) It's cheaper than hitting bottom. 8) It can prevent bad situations from getting worse. 7) It helps correct self-defeating behaviors. 6) It teaches assertiveness, which raises self-esteem. 5)It teaches new ways of thinking. 4) It provides relief. 3)It's not as sappy as it looks on TV. 2) Knowledge is power; knowing the reasons for what bothers you gives you power to change. AND THE NUMBER ONE REASON TO GO TO THERAPY: You deserve to like yourself and your life!

In my practice, I help clients develop self-compassionate presence, which allows us to shift our relationships to our fears and doubts.
Are you here because you feel overwhelmed, stuck, and often at odds with yourself? Because – despite feeling desperate to feel something different – you find yourself in the same old patterns? Replaying painful memories, worries & harsh self-talk? Maybe people, even therapists, have commented on your self-awareness. But that doesn't seem to translate to feeling better. Maybe you've tried breathwork or yoga and they helped. But you can't shake the feeling that there's more to explore on your healing path. I'm here for folks looking to heed that wild call to look inward.

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.
