Whether your healing is from anxiety and depression, trauma, or grief and loss, the therapeutic journey will allow for hope to be found, even in the darkest places.
Searching for a therapist can be a very overwhelming process. Maybe you’ve tried therapy in the past and it didn’t work out, or perhaps this is your first time looking into therapy. One of the first things I like to do as a therapist is to get to know each other. It’s my opinion that having a therapist you’re able to trust and feel comfortable with is essential in building the therapeutic alliance. From there, we will assess your goals as well as your strengths to increase self-esteem and improve relationships.

Therapy like life is a journey. It helps us clarify the narrative of our lives. When we understand the past, we can improve the present and change the future. It helps us learn the tools to change our thoughts and behaviors, and cope with feelings. It gives us the skills to interact more successfully with others and feel more comfortable with ourselves. A therapist can guide us along this journey, pointing out landmarks that give us clues about why we repeatedly create outcomes we want to change. A therapist helps us map a new course toward the destinations we desire.

Life happens and challenges arise. Have you experienced a significant loss? Are you feeling anxious or depressed? Maybe you're experiencing uncomfortable levels of stress in certain personal or work relationships. Maybe it's old stuff; issues of childhood that have an impact now, or a traumatic event that hasn't healed. Perhaps you feel stuck in a pattern of being or feeling, and need to find a new way. Partnering with a trained psychotherapist who understands the nature of these issues can help. When you learn more about yourself by sorting through your thoughts & emotions, it can often lead to a more satisfying & meaningful life.

I have experience with trauma, anxiety, depression, and eating disorders.
Making the choice to begin therapy can be challenging. The task of working through your inner thoughts can seem daunting, but I would like to be on that journey with you. My approach to therapy is to allow my clients to guide their own sessions while I serve as a support. My therapeutic approach is psychodynamic and I enjoy helping people do “inner work”, which is to explore past experiences and to dig deep into their thoughts. I feel treatment should be individualized, because each person is unique in their needs.

I specialize in goal-oriented motivational enhancement therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to assist those struggling with stress, anxiety, depression and other conflicting emotions.
"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us....And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others." - Marianne Williamson. Fear of failure, fear of the past and fear of the unknown can hold us back from becoming our best selves. Change is hard and loss is even harder. Our thoughts and feelings can sometimes be so overwhelming that it seems hard to move forward in life.

I specialize in helping clients struggling with depression, anxiety, obsessive thought patterns, addiction recovery, relationship conflicts, and trauma.
Often we find ourselves waiting. Waiting to be well, to be cared for, and to care for ourselves. The challenges we face, however big or small, are often opportunities to form a deeper connection to the things we want. Psychotherapy offers an experience to create an open space so that you can begin to explore and practice the thoughts, behaviors, and feelings that we seek to experience when working on our goals.

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.
