I thoroughly enjoy working with individuals in supporting times of transition such as identity explorations, relationships, as well as career and academic-related goals. These areas may bring individuals varying degrees of anxiety, confusion, stagnation, loss, and/or depression. I take an active and collaborative approach working with clients to move successfully through their times in their lives. We will also work to gain insight into possible patterns & roadblocks as you move toward sustainable change in your life. I work with adults of all ages.

Chronic illness, chronic pain, depression, or anxiety. Each of these have their own way of zapping our energy and enjoyment in life. These culprits tell us lies about ourselves and keep us from living our greatest potential. Maybe you've been faced with unforeseen circumstances, this is not the life you envisioned, and you're left wondering where to begin. It's hard to tell if or when you're making progress because life just doesn't look the same as it used to and you're left comparing yourself to others.

I work with people to help them explore, understand, and heal from the ways life has left its imprints upon them— be that from trauma, oppression, or simply the complexity of our messy and beautiful interconnectedness with each other. My approach is creative, humorous and relational. It is rooted in values of anti-oppression, abolitionism, and harm reduction.

Sometimes you can walk away from therapy still wondering "what do I do next?"; this is where I can be of assistance! I help those struggling with anxiety, depression, communication, realtionship issues & overall emotion regulation challenges. We often aren't taught the skills we need to identify & manage our emotions, so how can you be expected to do so without ever learning how? I take an eclectic approach to combine cognitive & behavioral interventions so you can walk away from session with specific tools to implement in your day to day.

I’m a licensed clinical psychologist and work with a wide range of presenting problems (anxiety, depression, transitions, grief, etc).
I firmly believe that you deserve to live your life to its fullest, and I am eager to help you make strides towards what you want most. A lot of my patients feel overwhelmed by unexpected life events and fear about what happens next; feel ill-equipped to cope with pressing anxiety; or long to have more depth and connection in their relationships. It is possible to feel better. Therapy allows you to explore with curiosity previously avoided parts of your thoughts, feelings and past in a nonjudgmental way. A trusting relationship with your therapist can help you understand more about yourself and what you can do to feel better.

If you are someone who desires change and a deeper understanding of the aspects of your life to help ease emotional patterns and relieve symptoms, psychotherapy can help facilitate these goals. Developing understanding during treatment can lead to changes in behaviors, relationships, and sense of self. Through a compassionate and gentle approach, and with a HAES and body neutral lens, I aim to create an environment where individuals of all identities, abilities, and body size feel heard, safe, and connected. I work with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, emotional distress, eating disorders, and body image concerns.

I also specialize in relationship issues; feelings of low self-confidence, shame, and insecurity; parenting concerns and infertility; specific conditions such as anxiety, depression, and trauma; and issues common to resident physicians.
Some seek out therapy to help with a particular problem, and others to better understand themselves and their internal world. In any case, feeling heard and understood by a therapist with whom you share a meaningful connection, and working collaboratively to make sense of your thoughts, feelings, and experiences, is almost always productive. Because therapy is an exercise in vulnerability, the fit between client and therapist is a powerful predictor of outcome. The right therapist will feel compatible in personality; challenge you in the context of warmth, safety, and respect; and meet you with responsiveness and empathy.

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.
