Though I have worked with most populations I find I am most effective helping those that experience neurodivergence, anxiety, young women, those experiencing life transitions, women, family conflict, stress management and children.
My first clinical role was working with individuals with neurodivergence. During the pandemic I re-discovered my passion for working with those who identify as part of the non-divergent community. My experience in private practice empowered me to conduct individual and group counseling sessions as well as crisis intervention. I approach psychotherapy work with a holistic focus and applies evidence-based practices. I will also help you build your treatment plan through a collaborative process that aligns with your individual healthcare goals.

I work with individuals to help manage life’s big transitions and decisions. You may be wrestling with anxiety or low self-esteem, and feeling frustrated that things which once came easily are now more of a struggle. You do not have to manage these difficulties alone.

I understand that anxiety and pain can sometimes feel overwhelming, and coping with anxiety is hard work.
Everyone feels anxiety. It is a normal human emotion, but sometimes anxiety becomes too big and no longer helpful. When anxiety feels burdensome, help and hope are available. I enjoy helping clients handle concerns with anxiety, such as generalized anxiety, panic disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and a range of fears/ phobias (needle, blood, heights, animals, etc.). I also have expertise working with clients who are experiencing depression, grief/loss, the unique challenges faced by the queer community, as well as distinct issues encountered by men in general.

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.
