Let’s be honest: Life doesn’t come with a blueprint—it just unfolds. We all face moments when we need guidance to navigate our feelings, stress, triggers, and anxiety. Sometimes, we just need a safe space to express ourselves and be true to who we are, especially in a world that often pushes us to conform. That’s where I come in. My goal is to create a supportive environment where you can explore your feelings, work through challenges, and grow into the best version of yourself.

I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, and stress related to sudden life transitions.
I believe that most people want to embrace life more purposefully. My goal is to help you tap into and honor your innate strengths. Past hurts and daily challenges can sometimes cloud one’s perception of self. In a supportive environment, I proceed with the understanding that psychological safety fosters growth and healing. Together, we may investigate unhelpful beliefs about self that could be driving specific behaviors. Additionally, how these beliefs are made manifest in your primary relationships.

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.
