Anxiety… it feels like a constant at this point. There’s that pit in your stomach or tension that never seems to go away. Your heart starts racing every time you remember one more task to add to the to-do list that already seems never ending. Worry doesn’t seem to capture how anxiety really feels for you.

My practice offers the most effective forms of treatment, to get the relief from anxiety that you deserve. When it comes to treating anxiety disorders, research shows that therapy is usually the most effective option. That’s because anxiety therapy – as opposed to anxiety medication – treats more than just symptoms to the problem.
