I have worked in different settings with presentations that include but are not limited to, anxiety, depression, relationships issues, adjustments to changes in life, behavioral issues, grief and loss, trauma, and body image and self-esteem concerns.
Hi, I am so glad you are here! I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Rhode Island. Providing a safe space for you is a valuable part of the work I do with helping individuals in counseling express themselves. You may have been told many things about therapy and you will find that there is no right time to start therapy and no one-way therapy looks. It is a place created to come as you are and your mental health is a significant part of your overall well-being. My experience working with individuals across the lifespan of development has given me understanding, connection building, and a strengths-based approach to treatment.

Life is good, you're confident and relatively successful... at least it used to feel this way, but lately your level of anxiety has increased to a point that's almost unbearable. You feel like you don't belong, feeling numb when you're alone, and constantly placing your values on other's opinion of you. You find yourself zoning out, unable to focus, and procrastinating. You feel drained and want to do something about it.

I am a mental health counselor with a deep interest in helping clients live the life they envision! Do you feel tired from hearing the same critical beliefs about yourself?

Do you know you were meant to live differently but just don't know how to get there from here? If so, I can help you gain clarity about what you want and together we can pave the path that leads in the direction of your hopes and 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.
