Are you struggling with your emotions and feeling stuck? Do you tend to get overwhelmed by your thoughts and are unsure about how to move forward? We all go through life experiences that can impact our present day. These challenges tend to shape the way that we view the world and ourselves. When you choose to begin this journey, we can take a deeper look at unhealthy relationships, negative self-judgments, and unresolved experiences. I often see those experiencing anxiety, challenging family dynamics, depression, perfectionism, and complex trauma.

My background has reinforced my drive to work with individuals who experience a variety of matters, including stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, depression, and cultural identity struggles.
Seeking someone to speak to can be the first step to improving your mental health. It can be difficult, but it can be an illuminating experience to look deeper within yourself. Speaking with someone can eliminate the feeling of being alone, and provide you with the support you need to work toward developing coping skills and explore how to make yourself live the life you want to live. As a first-generation Indo-Caribbean woman, I have learned to acknowledge and welcome the delights and difficulties of a multicultural identity. One of these very difficulties is the avoidance of addressing mental health.

Our capacity to connect, both with ourselves (i.e. our passions, feelings, and body) and with others, is crucial to our feelings of well-being. When we connect, we generally feel a sense of aliveness in ourselves and the world. When we can't connect, we feel anxious, isolated, empty, or depressed. I feel my job is to help clients to more fully connect to the range of their experiences. I help adults, adolescents, and couples explore why they lose connection. I help them identify, understand, and overcome the deep root of their disconnection. I help them find well-being, which gives me great joy.

When you're suffering from anxiety or trauma, it often feels like there's no hope.
Do you feel a deep pain or ache but can't tell exactly where it comes from? Or maybe you carry the weight of the world and feel like you can't set down the burden? As we go through life, we all experience manifestations of suffering and sometimes even trauma. Trauma makes us feel off-balance. It can affect us at work, in our relationships and even take away our sense of self, leaving us with an ever present sense of heaviness. Anxiety, depression, insomnia, sexual problems and a host of other issues, can all result from unhealed trauma. The good news is that we really can heal, learning to move away from trauma and toward love.

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.
