I’m a relational therapist and I enjoy working with clients who are navigating life transitions, grief, stress, anxiety, and depression.
Do you need help to build confidence, pursue your passions, or create meaning in your life? Do you want to look at ways you can move past the stuck places and repetitive patterns that prevent you from experiencing more intimate and fulfilling relationships with yourself and others? Does anxiety/depression prevent you from trying? I specialize in helping people move through the parts of their lives that are not working and build new ways of thinking. I am rooted in mindfulness that helps guide my clients to be more self empowered and self actualized.

Are you feeling stuck in the same old patterns in your life and ready for a change? Maybe you're feeling the weight of anxiety, depression, grief, or trauma and could use a hand in healing the past to experience freedom from it in the future. Have you noticed you keep getting into the same types of relationship challenges? It is normal for people to feel conflicted and get in our own way - it's part of being human! And we often need someone outside ourselves, friends, and family to help sort through the nitty-gritty thoughts, feelings, and fears. You don't have to face these issues alone.

I help teens and adults find freedom from debilitating intrusive thoughts, anxiety, fear, and compulsive behaviors.
Do you often find yourself lost in thought, feeling like you're spiraling or trapped in your head? Are you mentally and emotionally exhausted from constantly trying to 'figure out' the meaning behind your distressing thoughts? Perhaps checking things, counting, or ruminating temporarily relieves your distress until you find yourself NEEDING to do them over and over again. You're tired, overwhelmed, hopeless, and afraid. You want relief but find security in the chaos. You're not alone.

Hello! I’m so glad you’re here. A wise person once said we all experience pain, but experiencing pain alone is actual suffering. That’s the basis of my practice–to ensure you are not alone as you work through life’s challenges. You may be experiencing the effects of trauma, feeling overwhelmed with life and/or relationships, or dealing with anxiety about the future. Counseling can be a way to regulate your system, sort through thoughts and emotions, discover patterns, and build on the strengths and resources you already possess. This kind of work can be difficult and exhausting, but it is so rewarding.

We all do the best we can to cope, but sometimes our efforts throw us out of balance. I work with individuals who are feeling the impacts of these imbalances viscerally, either people who are analytically minded who feel emotions are a hinderance or people who are highly sensitive whose feelings can act like an overwhelming tidal wave. Our imbalances can manifest in depression, anxiety, overwhelming stress, or a dissatisfaction with relationships. In our work together you can expect for us to create treatment goals guided by your core values that move you towards clarity and growth.

Being heard and feeling deeply understood matters. Some of us have waited our whole lives to be received with intelligent compassion. When it happens, we know it – we can sense it viscerally.

I specialize in anxiety, self-esteem, group therapy, parenting, and helping clients understand their life purpose, meaning, and inner sustenance.
People are naturally resilient with the right support. Therapy facilitates the healing process by helping you deeply understand yourself, with compassion, so your presenting concerns can be effectively addressed. My approach varies to fit the style and presenting issues of each client. Typically, I take a holistic approach combining in-depth traditional talk therapy with more recent, empirically-validated and present-focused approaches. I sometimes act as a life coach, helping clients change behaviors and discern choices that lead toward the lives they envision. My predominant focus is guiding deeper exploration that results in real inner transformation, personal fulfillment, and learning to love yourself.

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.
