As we journey through life, we will inevitably face many challenges and periods of growth or set-back. Whether navigating challenging emotions, life transitions, career or relationship difficulties, or confronting unresolved trauma, these experiences may result in mental health symptoms. Challenges with mental health can manifest as a sense of being trapped in an unfulfilling life, difficulty releasing painful aspects of the past, or feeling weighed down by life's demands. A common outcome of experiences of trauma, depression, and anxiety is the emergence of negative thoughts and a distorted perception of self.

Life is not like a box of chocolates. Life is like a roller coaster with ups and downs, highs and lows, successes and failures. Therapy is about navigating through it. Depression, Anxiety, Substance Abuse and Early Childhood Traumas interfere with everyday functioning and cause us to make decisions that do not serve us well. At one point, most of our unhealthy coping tools were survival skills. They were beneficial and warranted at the time but now interfere with creating a life worth living. It's time to challenge those outdated coping tools with more useful, practical and efficient ones.

My focus is working with individuals who are experiencing anxiety, depression, or post traumatic stress and have not found success with conventional counseling practices. I focus on holistic care providing neuromodulation to identify and treat imbalances in the brain that are caused from long term stress. When the body is able to move from a fight, flight, or freeze state is it easier to apply skills you have been trying so hard to achieve. I believe you do not have to learn coping strategies to manage symptoms but that symptoms of depression, anxiety, and trauma can be healed.

I'm interested in helping you figure out what you want, and helping you get there. Being a teen and young adult is so stressful and weird, with or without other factors like mental health issues. I can help with all the identity exploration that you might need like sexuality, gender, career goals, education plans, self-esteem, etc., as well as issues like depression, anxiety, trauma, suicide, and self harm. If your parent/guardian is "making" you come, we can work with that too. Just remember, you're the one who consents for therapy, so you choose what we work on.

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.
