While life contains many moments of happiness and laughter, it also unfortunately delivers many stressful and overwhelming experiences. When these situations arise, we often feel isolated, distracted, and flooded with anxiety and depression. We may talk to our friends and family for help and ideas; however, sometimes having a caring and supportive therapist can be tremendously beneficial. Sometimes, we need to vent in privacy. Sometimes, we need to process emotional events that have happened and very personal memories from our past.

I specialize in treating depression and anxiety from adolescence to adulthood, but I also offer ethical Christian counseling for anyone trying to balance those values in everyday 21st century living.
Sometimes the world we are seemingly familiar with begins to slowly slip from within our grip. We find ourselves thrown into the unknown, unable to see a clear path forward. The fear, isolation, and sense of meaninglessness that may result from these kinds of experiences can be crippling, but don't give up. Within suffering, strength can be found.

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.
