Life can take us through twists and turns. On the outside things may seem fine, but on the inside, you are feeling incredibly overwhelmed. You may feel confused, misunderstood, and unsure of who you are becoming. You may have difficulty controlling negative thoughts or quieting your mind. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and loss, or interpersonal challenges, counseling can be an incredible outlet. I provide individual counseling for adolescents and adults to enhance insight on personal struggle, develop effective coping skills, and empower my clients to face each day with confidence.

The most important indicator for success in therapy is the rapport between therapist and client. If you don't feel connected to the therapist you're working with, you likely won't benefit. I'm confident that my style as a therapist will allow you to feel at ease. I am very much “me” in and out of therapy. My main goal is to align myself with my clients to build a therapeutic relationship worth investing in. You may be feeling fearful to take this first step, or possibly overwhelmed by the many therapist pages you're coming across; however, with each step you take, your confidence to take another will build.

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.
