Anxiety therapy is a safe and supportive space where we work together to understand and manage your anxiety in a practical way. Here's what you can expect:
Understanding Your Anxiety: Together we'll explore the root causes of your anxiety and how it affects your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors and gain a better understanding of your triggers and patterns which is the first step towards gaining control over your anxiety.
Learning Coping Strategies: I'll teach you tools & techniques to better manage your anxiety in everyday life. These might include deep breathing exercises, mindfulness practices, or problem solving strategies to challenge your negative thought patterns.
Building Resilience: Our work together isn't just about reducing anxiety symptoms; it's also about building resilience so you can better cope with life's challenges. In our sessions, we'll work together on strengthening your support system, improving self-care habits, and developing healthy coping skills.
Progress Tracking: Over time as we go through your sessions, we'll monitor your progress and adjust our approach as needed. You'll have the opportunity to reflect on your experiences and share any concerns or successes you've had since our last session.
A Collaborative Approach: Therapy is a partnership between you and me. I'll provide you with the guidance, support, and expertise, but ultimately, you're the expert on your own life. Together, we'll create a personalized treatment plan that fits your unique needs and goals.

Each person's therapeutic journey is as individual as they are, and it's important to approach it with patience and commitment.
While the timeline for progress varies based on several factors, including the nature of your concerns and your level of engagement with therapy, here's some insight into what you can expect:
Initial Adjustment Period: It's common to experience some adjustments during the early stages of therapy as you become accustomed to the process and begin building trust with your therapist. This period typically spans the first few sessions.
Short-Term Benefits: Many clients report experiencing some relief and noticeable improvements within the first few months of therapy, particularly as they learn coping strategies and gain insight into their challenges.
Long-Term Healing: To address deeper issues such as anxiety and trauma, it's important to commit to a longer-term therapeutic journey. Research suggests that attending therapy consistently for about 12 sessions, equivalent to 3-6 months, is a good starting point for seeing significant progress.
Stabilization and Resolution: Achieving stabilization and working through trauma may take more time, often spanning 1-2 years to start stabilizing and 3-5 years to fully address and integrate past experiences.
Remember, progress in therapy is not always linear, and there may be ups and downs along the way.
I will work collaboratively with you to set realistic goals, track your progress, and adjust the treatment plan as needed to ensure you're receiving the support and guidance necessary for your healing journey.
Ultimately, your commitment to the process and your willingness to engage in therapy exercises and homework assignments will greatly influence the speed and depth of your progress.

Your therapeutic journey is unique, and the frequency of our sessions will be tailored to your specific needs and preferences.
Here's why I generally recommend starting with weekly sessions:
Familiarization: Weekly sessions allow you to become comfortable with the therapeutic process and how our sessions flow. It's an opportunity for us to build rapport and trust, which are essential for effective therapy.
Establishing Routine: Consistency is key in therapy. By scheduling weekly sessions, we help you establish a routine of self-care and prioritize your mental health. This regular commitment to your well-being can provide stability and a sense of progress over time.
Nervous System Regulation: If you're experiencing significant distress or symptoms of anxiety, attending sessions weekly can be beneficial for regulating your nervous system.
Together, we can work on techniques to reduce the intensity of your fight or flight responses and promote relaxation and calmness.
Ultimately, the frequency of our sessions will be flexible and can be adjusted based on your progress and changing needs.
Our goal is to support you in achieving your therapeutic objectives while respecting your pace and preferences.
