My work with adolescents, and with adults gives me both an understanding of, and knowledge about the treatment of anxiety, depression, grief, and emotional complications of sudden life changes, and of mid or late life "crisis".
I am a Jungian Psychoanalyst who trained in Zurich Switzerland. I consider the work with the client a unique opportunity for his/her growth and development [regardlessof age] that can bring healing and a greater sense of wholeness to life. The client and I, together, explore dreams, memories of current and past experiences, imagination, thoughts, and feelings, within the context of everyday life and the particular problems presented. We follow these with care, in order to order to find new connections and understanding, healing, and to discover a new meaning and balance in a changing and sometimes disorienting world.

Having provided therapy to children, adolescents, and adults for 12 years, my treatment specialties include anxiety, codependency, depression, grief/loss, life transitions, relationships, self esteem, and trauma.
Individuals have many different reasons for coming into therapy ~ from day-to-day stressors to major life crises. Therapy can be short-term for a specific concern or longer-term to cope with more difficult issues. Therapy can also help with observations of lifelong patterns that bring an unease to our relationships with self and with others.

Do your relationships repeat the same frustrating cycles? Are you consistently feeling frustrated, angry or confused? Are you trying, to no avail, to be what you have always learned was "right" in relationships? What you believe about yourself and others influences the majority of your choices. Those feelings of hurt and frustration in relationships, often result in questions like "why?" and "what next?". I work with my clients to explore those feelings, attempting to uncover past and present patterns and beliefs influencing how you show up. Your work with me will move toward finding authenticity, truth and healing.

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.
