I have worked with people recovering from Religious Trauma Syndrome, and coming out of toxic, abusive, and hyper religious backgrounds. People that are making transitional adjustments after being involved in religious and political cults have special challenges that can be effectively addressed in therapy.

Any “symptom" (depression, anxiety, compulsions, etc.
My strengths work well with clients who were the truth-tellers in their families. Like the boy in “The Emperor Has No Clothes,” you probably experienced a lot of blowback for pointing out the obvious and uncomfortable. Maybe you came to doubt your own experience and wisdom. Over time you may have lost touch with those gifts, resulting in understandable confusion and coping skills that just aren't working anymore (symptoms). You came in this world authentically yourself, let's go find them! I offer a free 15 minute consultation so you can feel comfortable before making your first appointment.

I enjoy using person centered techniques to work with people in life transitions like people with relationship issues, anxiety, and depression.
Do you feel stuck out on your own private island? Everyone feels lonely occasionally and some people enjoy solitude, but loneliness is the feeling of one’s social needs not being met. To understand what those social needs are we can dive into your personal needs. Are your emotional struggles limiting your life choices or stopping you from expressing yourself authentically? It is different for everyone, but noticing personal challenges and how you deal with them is part of therapy. We can work together to identify your core challenges and and untangle your emotional struggles that keep you from living the life you want.

Each day you find yourself struggling to connect with others or tolerate your own intense emotions leading to acting out the same unhealthy or unfulfilling behaviors that ultimately add to a cycle of sadness or anger. You struggle to feel like you can be truly honest in your relationships with others and find yourself continuing to push others away. It feels as though you spend all of your energy on surviving with no time left to truly take care of yourself. You may watch yourself make decisions you know are damaging, react to others in ways that make you feel worse about yourself leading to unsatisfying relationships.

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.
