How do you work with clients with anxiety?

I approach anxiety with empathy, careful assessment, and individualized treatment. I work collaboratively with clients to understand what may be contributing to their anxiety and identify treatment options that align with their needs and goals. When appropriate, evidence-based medication management can help reduce overwhelming symptoms and create a stronger foundation for overall well-being. Progress can mean fewer anxious thoughts, improved sleep and concentration, greater emotional control, and feeling more confident and able to navigate daily life without anxiety taking the lead.

Anxiety can impact every aspect of life, but effective treatment can help restore balance and confidence. Having personally experienced anxiety throughout my life, I understand how overwhelming it can feel and the importance of feeling truly heard. My approach is compassionate and individualized, combining medication management, education, and therapeutic techniques such as motivational interviewing. Together, we identify your goals, develop coping strategies, and create a treatment plan that supports lasting improvement and a better quality of life.

I approach anxiety by helping clients understand both what they are experiencing and the patterns that may be contributing to it. For clients who have spent years questioning themselves, over-explaining, people-pleasing, or feeling responsible for others’ emotions, anxiety can sometimes be connected to difficult relational experiences. We work collaboratively to build greater self-awareness, self-trust, and confidence while developing healthier ways of responding to stress and uncertainty. Progress may look like feeling more grounded, trusting your own perceptions, setting healthier boundaries, and feeling more confident navigating relationships and everyday challenges.

I’m an LCSW with nearly 20 years of experience working across outpatient therapy, school-based settings, home-based services, crisis intervention, and telehealth. Over the course of my career, I’ve worked with people across a wide range of ages, backgrounds, and life circumstances, which has taught me to quickly understand what each person needs and adapt accordingly. My particular area of focus is relational trauma, especially the lasting impact of manipulation, control, emotional invalidation, and difficult family dynamics. I work with adults who may have spent years questioning themselves, over-explaining, people-pleasing, feeling responsible for other people’s emotions, or struggling to trust their own perceptions. I have a particular interest in helping adults of manipulative or narcissistic parents, partners, or caregivers understand these patterns and begin to reclaim a stronger sense of self. Clients often describe feeling supported and understood rather than judged. My goal is not simply to help someone cope with what is happening, but to help them develop greater clarity about their experiences and relationships, recognize patterns that may no longer serve them, develop greater compassion for themselves, and build the confidence and courage to make meaningful changes. I believe therapy should be collaborative and individualized. I respect each client’s values, beliefs, spirituality, culture, and perspective on what healing and wellness mean to them, and I work with clients to identify approaches that feel both supportive and genuinely useful within the systems they are part of.

My approach to anxiety focuses on helping clients understand the connection between their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Using Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness-based techniques, I help clients identify unhelpful thought patterns, develop healthy coping strategies, and build greater self-awareness. I provide a supportive, empathetic space where clients can explore their experiences, recognize their triggers, and learn practical ways to manage stress and anxiety in their daily lives. Progress looks different for everyone, but my goal is to help clients feel more confident in managing their emotions, responding to challenges, and navigating everyday situations. Together, we work toward building resilience, strengthening relationships, and developing skills that support long-term emotional well-being.

Derryl spent the majority of his undergraduate career in a clinical research lab where he investigated psychological and social predictors of emotion regulation difficulties in adolescents and how parenting styles influenced transmission of trauma. This motivated him to seek further education in mental health and determine how he can play a role in serving the community. A few of Derryl's therapeutic modalities include: Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Helping clients identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviors, Mindfulness-Based Therapy: Incorporating mindfulness techniques to promote self-awareness and stress reduction, and Client-Centered Therapy: Providing a supportive and empathetic environment for clients to explore their thoughts and emotions. One of my strongest passions is being a resource to others, while gaining insight from their unique stories. "I believe that counseling is a great tool for individuals, couples, and families to build the skills to have more meaningful relationships and manage their mental health throughout their daily lives. I understand that seeking help can be a challenging step, so my goal is to walk alongside you in your personal journey and promote growth as we explore your past experiences and future goals. Together, we will work towards your goals and empower you to make positive changes in your life."

I take a collaborative and compassionate approach to anxiety, helping clients better understand the thoughts, emotions, and patterns that may be keeping them stuck. Together, we work on practical tools to manage anxious thoughts, build confidence, tolerate uncertainty, and respond to stress in healthier ways. Progress doesn’t necessarily mean never feeling anxious—it means feeling more capable of navigating anxiety without letting it control your choices, relationships, or daily life. Over time, clients may notice they are feeling more grounded, avoiding less, and trusting themselves more.

I am accepting new clients, specializing in women and young adults. As young adults, you have it harder than ever: you’re dealing with a high cost of living, having to live with your parents longer than you’d prefer, poor job prospects, uncertainty about your career, struggling to make and maintain friendships, increasing student debt, as well as the exposure to social media and the high expectations you develop of yourself as a result. Then you have the pandemic that affected so many of you during high school and/or college, causing you to miss the big events that many were looking forward to. I have worked with many young adults over the years and have seen first hand the stress and anxiety that all of this causes your generation. Allow me to help you navigate through these uncertain times and provide you with the tools to help you forge a path forward. Change isn’t easy, and it can be scary, but it is necessary in order to move forward. Together we can work to identify and overcome the obstacles in your life that are preventing you from reaching your potential and realizing your goals. I can help you gain insight and develop healthy coping skills so that you may experience personal growth. Contact me today for a free 15 minute consultation to see if we would be a good fit to work together.

My approach to anxiety begins with understanding the individual rather than focusing only on symptoms. I work with clients to identify contributing factors, recognize patterns that may be maintaining anxiety, and develop practical strategies to improve emotional regulation and day-to-day functioning. Care is personalized and may include a combination of clinical support, education, coping strategies, and other appropriate treatment options. Progress can mean feeling less overwhelmed by anxious thoughts, responding to stress with greater confidence, sleeping and functioning better, and becoming more engaged in relationships, work, and daily activities. The goal is not necessarily to eliminate every anxious feeling, but to help clients feel more in control and better equipped to manage life's challenges.

I strive to provide compassionate, thoughtful, and individualized care while supporting each person through their unique journey toward greater stability and well-being.

I take supportive, nonjudgmental, and a collaborative approach that prioritizes both understanding and practical relief. I begin by creating a space space where clients feel heard and validated, while assessing the nature, severity, and triggers of their anxiety.

My approach to anxiety is holistic, compassionate, and individualized. Rather than focusing only on managing symptoms, I work with you to understand the deeper roots of anxiety, including past experiences, attachment patterns, relationships, and internal conflicts that may be contributing to your distress. Depending on your needs, we may incorporate approaches such as Depth Psychology, Jungian Psychology, EMDR, talk therapy, and creative exploration. Progress may look like feeling more grounded and confident, understanding your emotional patterns, responding to stress with greater flexibility, and developing healthier relationships with yourself and others. My goal is to help you move beyond simply coping with anxiety toward a deeper sense of self-understanding, freedom, and fulfillment.
