My client's range in age from 5 years of age to our young at heart senior citizens who face a wide range of challenges to include: anxiety, depression, child conduct behaviors, ADD/ADHD and grief.
Have you lost someone close to you and finding it difficult to cope? Grief can immobilize us and make daily life hard. There is no time line to this personal journey and I would like to help you navigate your path through this trying time. There is no judgement, only empathy and understanding that it is possible to feel whole again in a new and different way.

I am accepting clients at this time. My practice is rooting in the philosophy that our experiences create our beliefs and narratives, which in turn create our adaptive or maladaptive behaviors and patterns. By identifying and understanding those beliefs, we learn how to adjust behaviors, thoughts, and patterns while accepting ourselves and what life gives us. My role as a counselor is to provide nonjudgmental guidance in the journey of understanding while allowing room for growth and collaborative conversation.

My calling in life is to walk beside you during some of the most vulnerable and anxiety-inducing times of your life, so if anything I've said resonates with you personally, don't hesitate to reach out.
My clients are those seeking to understand themselves more fully (emotionally, cognitively, and socially) while also working toward intentional change based on their personal values and motivations. Whether the person before me is struggling with grief, with transitioning through different phases of life, or with loneliness, low-self worth, or anger, the unifying theme is that they all desire change, understanding, and a more hopeful tomorrow.

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.
