Treatment for Anxiety & Depression in Davidson, North Carolina

Offering virtual appointments across NC, CT, VT, NH, & MA.

If you had to sum up how it feels to live in your mind, words like “overwhelming,” “self-critical,” and “worried” would be at the top of the list.

It’s like you’re carrying an invisible weight that no one else seems to notice.

The days blur together with an endless list of things you’re supposed to do, but finding the energy—or even the starting point—to actually do them feels impossible. It’s especially hard when you struggle to get a decent night’s sleep on a regular basis, and feel the need to go over every worst-case scenario to mentally prepare yourself for what could happen.

Meanwhile, there’s a constant nagging thought that maybe you’re the problem because everyone else seems to manage life just fine. You’ve tried so many things—meditation, vitamins, even therapy or medication—but nothing seems to move the needle, and it’s exhausting to keep hoping for change when you feel like you’re running out of options.

I want to know what’s worked for you in the past and what hasn’t, and to restore your hope that things can get better.

You’re not just a block on my calendar—I’m here to hear you.

It can feel vulnerable to open up about your mental health and ask for help, which is why it’s so frustrating and discouraging when it seems like no one is really listening. Maybe, in the past, you’ve been told to “just wait things out” or keep trying the same things, even when they haven’t been helping. You won’t find that here. In our first conversation, we’ll spend time exploring what’s brought you here—your symptoms, your experiences, and what you’ve already worked hard to try.

We’ll look at what’s been helpful, what hasn’t, and any other factors that could be contributing to how you’re feeling today. I’ll listen and ask clarifying questions to make sure I’m getting the full picture, so we can make decisions together that feel thoughtful, not rushed.

You’ll always be part of the conversation, and we’ll make decisions based on what feels right for you every step of the way.

My approach

A thorough, personalized process to help you heal.

When we work together, everything starts with a conversation about where you are right now and what feels most important to address. Treatment plans aren’t one-size-fits-all because your story and your needs are unique—we’ll start by choosing a first step that feels manageable to take and build on it as we go, adjusting based on how you’re feeling and what’s working for you. 

From there, we’ll talk about all the ways we can approach your care—which could include therapy, medication, lifestyle changes, and techniques that support both your body and mind. Medication can be a helpful tool to steady the brain’s chemistry, making it a little easier to manage daily life and get more out of therapy. Beyond medication, we might explore things like lab testing or supplements to support your overall health and help your brain and body work together more cohesively.

Sometimes,

Deeper work with the nervous system can help untangle how past experiences are showing up in the present.

Therapies like Internal Family Systems (IFS) or Polyvagal-Informed approaches can help you feel more adaptable and grounded, so you’re better able to rise to challenges and truly relax when it’s time to rest. I’ll give you all the information about the available options to help you decide what feels like a good fit, whether it’s working with me or connecting with someone else. Whatever path we take, the focus will always be on helping you feel more present and at ease in your life.

Questions? I’ve got answers.

Frequently asked questions —

  • Anxiety and depression often stem from a mix of life experiences, your environment, and your biology. Sometimes it’s past events or current stress that’s weighing on you, and other times, it might seem like these feelings come out of nowhere. Holistic mental health support—medication, supplements, therapy, and lifestyle changes—can help you untangle what’s behind your feelings and create space to heal.

  • Yes, they’re often connected, and it’s not unusual to experience both at the same time or alternate between the two. You may feel so much anxiety that you become exhausted, shut down, and feel depressed. While feeling depressed and shut down, things may pile up, you get overwhelmed and feel anxious again. Understanding this link can bring clarity, and therapy offers tools to help you navigate both with more ease.

  • I take a personalized approach that might include medication management, integrative testing, or natural supplements if that’s a good fit for you.
