Your anxiety is sucking the life out of you. Maybe you find yourself constantly doubting everything you say and do. You have this awful voice inside that tells you something is fundamentally wrong with you... that you’re not good enough, or smart enough, or worthy enough, despite how hard you try to shut it up. Your relationships feels superficial. You overthink and stay small, because feeling lonely at least feels less scary than being rejected. But you hate that feeling too...so the cycle continues. There's a nagging feeling like how you grew up has something to do with this.

As your therapist I have the privilege of stepping into the story you find yourself in, curiously exploring it, help paint the picture of where you want to go, and together walk into that new reality. Life provides us with a mess of colors to paint a beautiful mosaic that we may never have envisioned. Whether you’re a teenager struggling to handle emotions, a young adult working through fears about your future and relationships, a couple facing a failed marriage, or a dad feeling like you can’t seem to get the fathering thing down, we can create that mosaic and find hope, freedom, and healing, if you’re up for it.

While my purpose is to serve adults navigating through all walks of life, I specialize in working with women who desire inner healing from the root causes of anxiety, depression, wounded self esteem and self worth, relationship conflict as well as trauma.
At the heart of my practice is the belief that “healed” is not necessarily a destination, but rather an ongoing process of recovery. Choosing everyday to move forward while still living a worthy and meaningful life is possible. Everything you need to thrive in this life is already in you. Through life’s circumstances we can lose sight of this reality and, can benefit from the use of a guide towards a season of renewal. You may feel as though you are losing everything BUT, remember that a tree loses its leaves every year and yet it still stands tall and waits for better days to come.

Right now at this moment, you have the ability to trust and accept who you are and to not second guess your decisions. Living with symptoms of anxiety and/or ADHD may prevent you from enjoying the life you deserve and following your own intuition. These symptoms can leave you tired of watching others complete tasks that seem to take you forever to accomplish. There is not a definitive answer or end to how you approach these concerns, there’s only a journey. Part of your journey involves connecting with the best therapist for you to help move you from a place of overwhelm to a place of balance, confidence and sustainability!

As we mature through life some of us face more challenges than others. It is not the challenges we face that defines us but the steps we take to deal with the challenges that define us. Do you sometime wake up and you just can’t muster the energy to get out of bed today even with a million things that needs to get done? Do you sometimes wake up and before your day can even start you start to feel like your heart is about to fall out of your chest, racing too fast? With so much going on in life, it is hard sometimes not to feel anxious or depressed. You matter and I am here to listen!

We can make all sorts of excuses and justifications for keeping ourselves depressed and anxious.
I'll bet that past therapy you've had has felt like a bunch of crap and a total waste of time, right? So many clients tell me about their negative experiences with past therapists, who "just listened" and "didn't really show me how to make anything better." Well, I don't play that game (you are paying for services, after all, right?). I want you to feel you've actually gotten useful skills to improve your situation. I often work with clients with a range of problems and concerns, although I specialize in work with the LGBTQ+ community. I have extensive experience in individual therapy, couples therapy and group therapy.

As a Board Certified Art Therapist and licensed professional counselor I have extensive work with at-risk youth, children and adults living with PTSD, anxiety, depression, life transitions, LGBTQ+, domestic violence, mass terrorism, sexual assault, and family conflict.
Finding the right therapist is not always an easy task. It is important that my clients feel comfortable and connected to the healing process as well as the therapeutic relationship. Art therapy goes beyond traditional talk therapy. It is a non-invasive form of healing that facilitates communication from our unconscious.

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.
