I love helping adolescents and their families! Sounds strange I know, but it's true. I provide a listening ear and create a non-judgmental space for youth ages 11-24 to talk about life, love, friendship, and the challenges associated with transitioning into adulthood. I also work with struggling adults, couples and stressed families, and help individuals deal with things like depression and anxiety. Life puts lots of pressure on individuals, marriages, parents, and families, and I'd love to help you find ways to cope with the pressure and go from surviving to thriving!

I want to help people live effective lives. So many of us find ourselves living one day at a time just trying to survive our circumstances. I believe there is much more to life. We are designed to live life fully. My philosophy is that life is experienced and enjoyed within the context of all our relationships, not just romantic. When our relationships are struggling our enjoyment of life suffers. When we enjoy the fruit of healthy relationships we are able to truly taste the sweetness of life the way it was designed to be lived. Finding personal healing and wholeness equips us to give and receive life giving communion with others.

I work with adults who struggle with anxiety, people pleasing, depression, self esteem, body-image issues and/or perfectionistic tendencies.
There are times when we feel overwhelmed, disconnected from ourselves and others. Moments when we feel scared, alone, and uncertain. Maybe you notice tendencies and patterns in your life that are no longer working but feel stuck as to how to move forward. It's my hope that the therapeutic process supports and facilitates change, helps you feel more embodied, and increases compassion toward yourself and others.

Life can be scary and uncertain. We are all trying to figure out how to feel "normal" through life's many challenges and changes and often don't consider asking for help until we feel so heavy we don't know where to turn. My role is to help you identify your strengths and help provide tools to manage the difficult emotions. Anxiety, depression, and fear are all exacerbated during stressful times. Some of us are isolated without much social support and or are experiencing strain in our relationships with family, friends, or colleagues.

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.
