Life is challenging and it's not surprising that many of us struggle with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, difficulty making decisions and building healthy relationships. Many of us have received the message that we aren’t “good enough”. These messages can come from many different sources and it can be difficult not to internalize these unhealthy belief systems. We will work together to get a better understanding of how your thoughts, feelings and behaviors have been impacted by past and present experiences and what you can do to not allow these negative experiences define who you are today.

I grew up in an environment, in which mental health issues were rarely discussed, let alone addressed with professional help. "Why is hard for me to do things that for others appear simple? Is there something wrong with me?". These are the types of thoughts someone with anxiety, depression, and trauma can experience. How different things would have been in my life, had I understood the thoughts, feelings, and experiences I went through.

Skills and focus include relationship struggles within couples, families, or work; sexual abuse, LGBT, bereavement, anxiety/depression.
Therapy enables you to live more fully, with increased awareness and self-acceptance. However, it requires that you trust someone to travel with you to difficult places you might otherwise avoid. Whether you are experiencing a difficult life transition, wrestling with a problematic pattern, or wish to have a better relationship with yourself or others, it is important to feel that you are working with someone attuned to your needs and knowledgeable about how to handle them.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) I am well-trained in CBT and use it to help clients identify and challenge core beliefs and thought patterns that cause anxiety/depression.
I work primarily with young adults (college, 20-30 somethings) and adolescents through various life changes and transitions, that include relationships and social issues, academic stress, and significant life changes like new jobs or location changes. Significant change is a normal part of adolescence and young adulthood, but it can be a stressful and confusing time. I've also worked extensively with psychiatric issues such as phobias and OCD and have significant experience working with young people who were recently diagnosed with chronic illness or are experiencing health 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.
