Therapy for anxiety for adults in GA & FL
Anxiety can feel like a tornado that sweeps you up and carries you away. You may feel like you're spiraling out of control, unable to stop the whirlwind of worry and fear that's swirling around inside you. Anxiety can be unpredictable and can come on suddenly, leaving you feeling disoriented and overwhelmed.
Anxiety is a natural response to stress and can be helpful in certain situations. It's the feeling of unease, apprehension, or worry that we experience when we're facing a challenging situation. However, when anxiety becomes excessive or prolonged, it can interfere with our daily lives and overall well-being.

Therapy for anxiety can help you
discover your strengths and build on them.
You're ready to let go of fear and doubt.
Anxiety therapy is a type of therapy that focuses on helping you manage their anxiety symptoms. Anxiety is a normal human response to stress, but for some individuals, anxiety can become overwhelming and interfere with their daily life. Anxiety therapy can help individuals develop coping skills to manage their anxiety and reduce the impact it has on their daily life.
My approach to addressing anxiety is rooted in the belief that everyone has the capacity to grow and change, no matter how overwhelming your anxiety may feel. We will work together to identify the underlying causes of your anxiety, whether they be past traumas, thought patterns, or other factors, and to help you develop strategies for managing and coping with your anxiety in a healthy way.
Therapy for anxiety is not just about gaining control of your thoughts, but also expanding feelings of empowerment into other aspects of your life. I will work collaboratively with you to identify your goals and develop a personalized plan that empowers you to take an active role in managing your anxiety. As you progress in therapy, you will begin to see the world in a new light, with greater self-awareness and a deeper understanding of your own values and priorities.
If you’re ready to break free from the spiral of fear and uncertainty and find the calm center at the heart of the storm, I’m here to help. I believe in the power of the therapeutic relationship and will work to build a trusting and collaborative partnership with you as we discover your own strengths and learn to build on them. We will work together to help you emerge from therapy stronger, more resilient, and more empowered to live the life you want.

Frequently Asked Questions About Therapy for Anxiety
-

-
Where are you located?My office is located at 99 Weatherstone Drive, Suite 950 in Woodstock, Georgia, just outside of Atlanta, but I am licensed to practice virtually across both Georgia and Florida.
-
With what populations do you work?I work with individuals aged 18+ and specialize in the treatment of trauma and personality disorders. If I feel your presenting problems are outside of my scope of practice, I will suggest that you see a different clinician who can better meet your needs.
-
How do I know if I need therapy?You may benefit from therapy if you feel your quality of life has been affected by trauma, depression, anxiety, grief, self-esteem issues, or stress. You may come to this conclusion on your own or someone close to you may have brought it to your attention. In some cases, you may have only realized there was an issue after having an adverse experience or being referred to therapy by a physician. Sometimes you may not even know what is affecting you, but just know that you don't feel like yourself anymore. If this is the case, we can work together to find out what might be causing the symptoms you've been experiencing and how to manage them. I believe therapy can be of use to anyone, regardless of what issues they're dealing with, as long as they are willing to put in the hard work necessary to make progress.
-
How does online therapy work?Online therapy is very similar to in-person therapy, however instead of meeting in the office we meet in a virtual setting, via a link sent to you prior to your first appointment session. Online therapy is a great option if you like convenience, flexibility, and the comfort of being in your own space during sessions.
-
What can I expect from therapy?The first session mainly consists of getting to know one another and building trust. I'll have some paperwork for you to complete prior to your first session and then we'll complete an intake assessment in session. This is comprised of discussing your goals for therapy and areas of your history that you're comfortable sharing. You will also be able to ask me any questions you may have and we will discuss a preliminary treatment plan for how to meet your therapy goals. Not every therapist is right for every person, so this first session provides us with an opportunity to determine if we're a good fit to work together moving forward. We may be able to determine a therapy modality to utilize moving forward in the first session or it may take a few sessions to determine which modality is the best fit for your needs. As we move forward in therapy, we will check in on your goals and treatment plan to make sure we're making the progress you want to see. If not, we can adjust our approach as many times as needed to find what works. I will ask you for feedback on whether you feel there is anything I could do differently to help you achieve your goals and will incorporate your feedback to the best of my ability. We will work at your pace to meet your goals, but I will provide you with encouragement to push yourself in the therapeutic process. True progress in therapy occurs when you are able to remain in the zone in which you are both uncomfortable and still emotionally/psychologically safe. Although I will encourage you to venture into this zone, you always retain the right to decline discussing certain issues or processing certain memories. As it starts to feel that therapy is less necessary for you due to your symptoms decreasing or being more well-managed and that you have processed what you needed to process, we will begin to discuss terminating therapy. This period will focus more on reflecting on your progress and preparing you for the future. Please know that if therapy is terminated but you find that you need to resume therapy in the future, you are always welcome to return as a client.
-
How long will I need to be in therapy?This is dependent on each individual person and is influenced by factors such as history, goals, and life circumstances. I trust and empower you to recognize your needs in therapy and provide me with feedback. We will regularly check in to see how you’re feeling about your progress and the work we’re doing together and to determine if changes need to be made to your treatment plan.
-
Do you accept insurance?I accept private pay as well as Aetna, Optum, United Healthcare, and most of their partner insurances in both Georgia and Florida. I am considered an out-of-network provider with many insurances, meaning I don’t accept payments from those insurance companies directly. However, you may contact your insurance provider to see if you have out-of-network coverage, as some insurance plans may reimburse your out-of-pocket costs.
-
What if I have out-of-network benefits?If you have out-of-network coverage, I can provide you with a superbill for you to submit to your insurance provider so you can possibly receive reimbursement. Please note that reimbursement by your insurance company is not guaranteed and you may need to cover some or all of the charges out-of-pocket.
