I work with folks on a multitude of concerns including (but not limited to) depression, anxiety, relationship issues, codependency, stress management, communication, life transitions, and grief.
Tired of waking up and dragging through the day, feeling "meh" all the time? Feel disconnected from friends and family, or like you just don't "have it in you" to do a single more adulty thing? You are not alone. We can work together to help you feel reconnected to family and friends, feel more present, and enjoy these relationships again. We'll figure out together ways to manage feelings and regain energy to invest time back into yourself AND the things you enjoy doing. All are welcome! I am a LGBTQ+, ENM, kink, and geek affirming therapist.

(Yes, people actually look forward to coming) I have a niche in anxiety, depression, personality disorders, trauma and crisis.
Accepting New Clients! You're not sure when it started or why, but something feels off. You feel the pressure building as you try to balance the things that take your time and energy in life. You want to feel happy, but it doesn't feel available to you. Maybe you've learned to approach life with grit and determination, appearing confident and self-sufficient on the outside, but feeling unfulfilled, unsupported, and disconnected in the inside.

My specialty is Grief, Depression, Anxiety, Trauma, First Responders and Sports/School/Job Performance.
I have a passion to assist you in overcoming adversity and facing your mental health concerns. Empathy, open-mindedness, and communication are my core values. My path to counseling began very young through my own personal experience with loss of life, which lead me to the path to helping others. I understand that missing our loved ones and being depressed is normal, and the key to grieving is to find a way to form a new relationship with the one we lost. In addition, through my collegiate student-athlete experience I understand the delicate balance of being a student-athlete, including the pressures that come along with it.

My hope is that the men and women I talk to would be able to experience intimacy in their relationships, fullness of life, and find success in their daily lives.

Sexual problems I work with may include desire discrepancy, erectile dysfunction, pain during intercourse, premature ejaculation, sexless marriages, and sexual anxiety/depression.
I love working with best friends who are trying to get their sexual spark back. Many of my clients have been together for years and actually get along pretty well. They have good communication, they are partnered well and they treat each other with respect. However, they struggle to want to have sex with one another. They love each other and enjoy each other's time, but they struggle to take sexual chances, try new things and have fun in the bedroom. They essentially have "friend zoned" each other. My work is to help give these couples that special nudge to make sex a priority and enjoy sex again as a team.

My passion for therapy originated from personal experiences with trauma, anxiety, depression, and relationship problems.
Mental health issues can manifest in unexpected ways. Do you experience unexplained irritability? Hyper-criticism of yourself and others? Mood swings without any clear cause? Feeling overwhelmed to the point of being unable to organize your day? If so, it's worth considering whether you may be struggling with trauma, anxiety, or depression. Perhaps you may be experiencing Relationship Trauma. Do you ever find yourself constantly questioning or doubting what you once believed to be true? Did everything seem perfect in the beginning, but now you can barely recognize the person in front of you?

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.
