No matter what struggles one's past might hold, I believe all people have the power to improve their lives once they gain insight and skills through therapy. While I have worked successfully with clients experiencing a variety of concerns, I specialize in helping people who are interested in overcoming symptoms related to trauma and anxiety. In addition to my advanced training and individual work with this population, I have also developed and facilitated therapeutic groups for adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse and women who have experienced trauma of any kind.

Anxiety, depression, and worry are making you miserable and keeping you up at night. Nothing you have tried is helping, and you've tried everything. There's never enough time to get it all done, and the pressure never ends. You’re at your wits ends. When you play it forward you only see things getting worse. The unavoidable consequences to your relationships and family, your work, and your health are constant lurking threats. You keep your stress buried inside because you don’t know what else to do. Everyone thinks you have it all figured out. But the truth is you feel lost. You've worked too hard to feel so unhappy.

If you embrace your emotions in a way that is restorative and healing rather than anxiety-proving or depleting, then you can live life meaningfully.
Creating the space for reflection is hard, especially in the midst of our busy lives. Many people feel stuck in difficult patterns, not knowing how to be happy. In a collaborative atmosphere, I can help you develop a healthy relationship with yourself and others. With sensitivity, compassion, and attention to your strengths, together we can identify your goals and help you meet these. Using emotion-focused work is particularly helpful because our feelings offer us a roadmap to our psyche. In other words, our emotions clue us in to what motivates, reinforces, or is aversive to us. Emotions drive our reactivity, thoughts, and mood.

I see therapy as a way to develop a deeper understanding of the patterns that hold you back, get in the way of your goals, and keep you feeling depressed, anxious, and overwhelmed.
When you think about a better future for yourself, what do you envision? Are you feeling less stressed? Are you more confident? Is your relationship thriving? Are you getting more time to do the things you love? Therapy is a journey to find a path towards those goals. Therapy is an individualized process. Sometimes, we aren’t always aware of the thoughts, beliefs, and situations that prevent us from feeling better or getting our needs met. Other times, we are aware of these things but unsure on how to limit how much they impact us and how we can manage them.

Whether you or your child or adolescent is struggling with anxiety, depression, abuse/trauma, academic pressures, ADHD, social challenges, self-esteem or behavior issues; I can help develop strategies and skills to feel better.
Are you worried about your child and struggling to find ways to help him/her? Does your son or daughter seem unusually sad, angry, have trouble making and keeping friends, or following rules? Sometimes after a change or trauma children express their difficulties through negative behaviors. As parents, we all want our kids to feel good about themselves and be successful. Sometimes its easy to lose sight of a child's strengths and positive attributes. I'm passionate about helping struggling kids and families get back on a positive track in a fun and engaging way.

It's my personal hope that I can provide this space for you, so you can receive the compassion and support needed to move forward on your journey.

I specialize in helping adults who have experienced trauma, especially when traditional talk therapy hasn’t been enough. With 16 years of experience, I know that healing is not one-size-fits-all. You might still face challenges with your anxiety, ADHD, depression, or PTSD. My approach blends EMDR, somatic healing, and other integrative techniques to uncover the roots of these struggles. Together, we’ll find new ways to reconnect, build resilience, and move forward. Healing isn’t always easy, but it’s possible, and you don’t have to do it alone.

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.
