Does your child complain of stomach aches? Say they don't want to go to school? Do they struggle to sleep? Are they having issues with their siblings or other people? Is there a history of trauma? Do you feel at an impasse? Hope is not lost! I work with children and their parents on communicating and solving their struggles together. All children are welcome. I specialize in children, preteens, and teenagers. Anxiety, depression, and trauma can all show up as anger, fear, lethargy, and lack of sleep. The sooner it is addressed the sooner your child can feel better and more themselves.

I'm here to support your journey through trauma, anxiety, depression, or life transitions.
Are you struggling with the aftermath of trauma, feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, or navigating a challenging life transition? Whether you’re dealing with the lingering effects of sexual abuse, childhood trauma, or adult-onset abuse, it can be difficult to find a path forward. You may also be a college student facing unique pressures, or someone experiencing grief and loss, unsure of how to move through the pain. Whatever you’re going through, it’s okay to seek help—you don’t have to do this alone.

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.
