Frequently asked questions

How does your personal experience with anxiety and depression make you a better therapist?

My journey through anxiety and panic disorder gives me genuine empathy that goes beyond textbook knowledge. I understand the fear and frustration firsthand, which helps me provide more relatable, practical strategies. This lived experience allows me to meet you where you are and offer hope that's grounded in real recovery.

What makes virtual therapy as effective as in-person sessions for anxiety treatment?

Virtual therapy can be particularly effective for anxiety because you're in your own comfortable environment while learning to manage symptoms. We use the same evidence-based techniques as in-person therapy, and many clients find it easier to practice new skills immediately in their daily context. The convenience also removes barriers like travel anxiety.

How do you blend different therapy approaches for better results?

I customize treatment by drawing from multiple methods - using CBT for thought patterns, DBT for emotional regulation, and solution-focused therapy for immediate relief. This flexible approach means we don't force you into one method, but rather select the tools that work best for your specific situation and personality.

What can I expect to achieve in the first month of therapy with you?

Most clients notice reduced anxiety symptoms and develop practical coping strategies within the first month. You'll gain a clearer understanding of your patterns and have concrete tools to manage difficult moments. While deeper work continues, many experience meaningful relief and increased hope relatively quickly.
