As a result of my work as a psychologist specializing in anxiety, my clients/patients no longer suffer from intrusive thoughts, have meaningful lives, and have the joy and peace they deserve.
From the outside, you seem to have it all. You are highly accomplished, driven, and reliable. You have what others call a “successful life,” but the truth is you don’t feel the same on the inside. You always worry about the worst things that can happen. Your thoughts deplete & deprive you of joy. You try to keep it all together, but despite your best efforts, thoughts leave you feeling exhausted, unable to focus, and unmotivated and snap at the people you love. You have given so much to everyone, and your needs always come last. Not anymore. You are finally ready to go from merely existing to flourishing.

I am aware that choosing to seek support from a mental health practitioner for our emotional/ mental health and life problems can be a scary process. However, therapy does not have to be a scary process if your are paired with a therapist who understands the value of starting where the client is and working to develop a strong therapeutic alliance. My primary goal is to offer a safe therapeutic environment where my clients are free to share their stories without judgement or fear, and be empowered to remove obstacles that interfere with personal freedom, growth, and personal satisfaction.

As a dating therapist, I help people create a new road map for finding healthy love by learning to lead with their truest self. That all-consuming worry from thinking something is wrong with you that makes relationships SO hard keeps you up at night. While you’ve often thought maybe you're just meant to be single, you know that’s not what you really want. You’ve started seeing some patterns surface from past relationships and you’re either giving more love than you’re getting…or if they’re into you, you’re just not into them.

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.
