Supporting individuals suffering from anxiety/depression, professional/academic problems, interpersonal conflicts, and codependency problems to become successful is what I do!.
Is the stress and anxiety of life getting you down? Does it seem like you will never overcome the emotional and physical pain you are experiencing? Are you stuck in behavioral patterns that derail financial success, impede relationships, and sabotage professional and personal growth? Pessimism, sadness, anger, and frustration, are real emotions with consequences, sometimes severe. They prevent you from enjoying your best life. Feeling stuck, unloved/cared for, worthless, and a failure is no fun. If it seems you are destined to live out this unfulfilling and, at times, hopeless life; take heart. Hope is just a phone call away!

My specialization lies in alleviating emotional triggers and reducing the symptoms of anxiety and depression.
You might look like you have everything under control, and from the outside, your life seems picture-perfect. Yet, inside, you're battling overwhelming stress, anxiety, or sadness. Are past traumas still affecting your present? Perhaps setting boundaries is a struggle, leaving you feeling exhausted and unloved. Are you questioning some life choices and desperately need a space to organize your thoughts and regain control? Anxiety and depression are tough; are they keeping you awake or pulling you down?

Counseling is more than a job for me; it is a calling. I believe that everything has a purpose, even this moment. Do you find it hard to turn off that switch in your head? Are the events from yesterday keeping you up at night? Does it feel like there's an invisible weighted blanket wrapped around you? Do you find yourself being the sounding board for everyone else, with few or no people to really listen and hear what you have to say? You're not alone. Life happens. I have had those moments, and I have helped a number of people discover their triggers and indicators of depression and anxiety.

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.
