How do you work with clients with anxiety?
I have over a decade of experience working with individuals struggling with anxiety symptoms/disorders in both in and outpatient settings. I have direct experience and training with clients who have generalized anxiety, social anxiety, phobias, panic, and obsessive-compulsive symptoms. I use a research-backed manualized approach when it works best for the client and provide a safe space to work through your reservations, stress, fears, and worries.
Is managing stress, anxiety, or trauma overwhelming and impacting your quality of life? Do you feel physically and emotionally drained and unable to manage daily tasks? You deserve to feel happy, capable, and whole again! I can help you identify your inner strengths to overcome any emotional and mental health challenges you are experiencing. I have over 12 years of experience providing services to clients with various mental health challenges. I have found that my style and approach are a good fit for a range of individuals. This includes those in late adolescence and adulthood who may be dealing with anxiety, mood, and trauma-related disorders/symptoms as well as individuals facing life stressors and transitions. I work to help my clients navigate these difficulties, identify unique needs, and build skills to unlock their inner and inherent capacity for healing and growth. My approach to therapy varies based on the individual needs of each client I work with. I believe in utilizing a client-centered approach and research-backed treatments that are most effective for your struggles. This approach helps me and the client build a shared understanding of their reality and allows us to work together to chart a path forward.

How do you work with clients with anxiety?
When working with clients experiencing anxiety, I take a compassionate and evidence-based approach tailored to their unique needs. I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and mindfulness techniques to help clients identify triggers, challenge negative thought patterns, and develop effective coping strategies. Together, we work on building resilience, increasing self-awareness, and fostering a sense of control over anxious thoughts and feelings. My goal is to create a supportive space where clients feel empowered to navigate their anxiety with confidence and develop lasting tools for managing stress and uncertainty.
With extensive experience and a compassionate approach, I am committed to supporting adults through their mental health journeys. Holding a Psy.D. from Immaculata University since 2016, my dedication to mental wellness spans back to 2007. I specialize in assisting individuals facing challenges such as ADHD, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and depression, utilizing evidence-based treatments with a strong emphasis on a person-centered perspective. My goal is to foster a collaborative and supportive environment where clients feel truly understood and empowered. *Specialties •Psychologist *Conditions treated •Anxiety •Depression •ADHD •PTSD •Bipolar disorders •Personality disorders •Anger Management •Behavioural Therapy •Mood disorders •Trauma and PTSD •Behavioral Issues •Chronic Illness •Chronic Pain •Codependency •Coping Skills •Dual Diagnosis •Emotional Disturbance •Grief •Life Transitions •Pregnancy, Prenatal, Postpartum •Relationship Issues •Self Esteem •Sexual Abuse •Stress •Women's Issues •Family Issues •Maternal Mental Health •Men's Issues *Treatment philosophy I use a wide range of approaches to therapy including humanistic, psychodynamic, CBT, and DBT.

What's your experience with clients with anxiety?
I specialize in therapy for individuals with anxiety. It is the most common diagnosis that I treat and I have worked with a diverse group of clients with a variety of anxiety issues: panic, social phobia, intrusive thoughts, performance anxiety, general anxiety, adjustment issues, etc. I help my clients understand their anxiety better, learn to more effectively process their anxiety and teach strategies for coping with anxiety that really work.
I'm a clinical social worker with 10 years of experience. I have a upbeat, creative, warm and non-judgmental personality which clients report make it easy and natural to open up to me. I believe that therapy is an avenue to self improvement, healing and transformation. I see myself as a guide who supports clients in their journey of personal and emotional growth. I help clients become more self-aware, improve self regulation and coping skills, heal from previous stressful/traumatic experiences, enhance their communication skills, and understand their emotions at a deeper level. I see clients across the lifespan and provide counseling to children, adolescents and adults. I use traditional counseling techniques such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing and solution-focused therapy, as well as complementary therapy approaches such as mindfulness and meditation to help clients work towards greater happiness. Please reach out to me via email, phone call or text if you are interested in becoming a new client. I respond to texts and e-mails within 24 hours. Once we connect, I will set up the 15 minute phone consultation to discuss my availability, answer questions, and help you determine if working with me is a good fit for you and your goals.
