Emotions, relationships, communication, loss, addictions, trauma, change. Regardless of our age, these human conditions, specifically those unwanted or unexpected life experiences, finds us all. Being teased or bullied as a child, being rejected by a lover, friend, or authority figure, being victimized &/or witnessing violence in the home, being abused or neglected, losing the ones we love, the high-risk lifestyle of addiction, poor health and disease; life can wound us. But life is a continuum; It is both pain and joy. It's been said, "Pain is inevitable but suffering is optional." You don't have to suffer anymore.

I take a collaborative approach in my interactions with parents to support children, teens, and young adults struggling with anxiety and depression.
I specialize in providing therapy for children, teens, and young adults who are struggling with school, relationships, and life transitions. During the crucial early years of life it is important that children and teens are given the right support to deal with difficulties impacting their school performance, mood, and communication with parents. I believe that a combination of skills-based learning for children, adolescents and teens in addition to guidance and support for parents is critical in helping young people overcome challenges and get back to feeling like themselves.

Sometimes the best form of therapy doesn’t have to look like therapy. When working with young adolescents, college students, and adults in individual therapy, I often hear about their challenges feeling stuck, not like themselves, and essentially hopeless. I have over 10 years of experience providing counseling with diverse populations from various religious beliefs, BIPOC, and LGBTQ+ communities. My work has often involved helping individuals gain the tools to overcome various mood disorders, anxiety (general, social, and performance), depression, identity exploration, and communication challenges.

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.
