Anxiety

I find that my approach to self talk and intervention crafting is very effective for managing both day to day anxieties and major fears/worries.

Since the start of my graduate training in 2000, I have been working on helping people understand the roots of their anxiety and the underlying biological processes. I have a wealth of experience providing education about anxiety. I will work with you to determine the best approaches to learn to regulate your anxiety including body-based strategies, understanding the themes that persist in sustaining the anxiety, and challenging the things you may have avoided because of anxiety.

Anxiety is the most common mental health issue facing those in the US. The feeling of being judged, extreme worry for things that haven't happened and the inability to calm down can all seem overwhelming. I teach coping skills, mindfulness exercises, and grounding techniques to lessen anxiety and help you handle anxiety-provoking situations.

I help clients find ways to CREATE SPACE and LOOSEN THE GRIPS that anxiety may have taken hold of over their lives. By TAKING A STAND AGAINST ANXIETY and its effects, we work together to address both immediate concerns and long-term goals, helping you regain control and find a path to lasting relief.

Anxiety affects everyone. For most of my 20 year career, I've observed that anxiety can stem from a variety of places - mostly born out of traumatic experiences. It can start as one annoying thought and then that one thought goes haywire and actually begins to convince us of something that isn't true. Or that we can control something that we cannot. Over the years, I've helped people learn to see their anxiety, how it affects them, where it comes from, and finally, how to manage it.

Treating many anxiety symptoms, including general anxiety, phobias, social anxiety, fear of flying, and fear of public speaking. I see established cornerstone techniques such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and exposure and response prevention (ERP) while mixing in newer powerful methods that accelerate improvements and effectiveness.

I provide a compassionate, supportive space to help individuals manage anxiety and regain a sense of calm and control. Using evidence-based approaches like CBT, DBT, and mindfulness, I guide clients in identifying triggers, challenging anxious thoughts, and building effective coping strategies. My holistic, person-centered approach fosters resilience, self-awareness, and confidence, empowering individuals to navigate life with greater ease and balance.

Anxiety creates dread, irritability, uncertainty, and fear. It turns our thoughts negative. Most people with anxiety use escape and avoidance as the default tools in their toolbox. I’m here to support you. I’m here to both lead you out and to partner with you. I use evidence-based interventions to foster self-awareness and empowerment. I teach coping strategies and skills. We can work together to gain control over your anxiety, stop the self-recrimination and repair low self-confidence.

Our therapists specialize in treating anxiety in all its forms including PTSD, Panic Disorders, Chronic Stress, OCD and phobias.

I have treated clients with anxiety for over 5 years and enjoy working to help reduce symptoms by teaching concrete techniques as well as examining and reframing root causes of anxiety.

Anxiety is a universal experience, and one that we are wired to experience to a greater degree as an adaptation to difficult and traumatic experiences in life. While this helps is to survive and keep ourselves safe, it can also start to work against us when no longer needed. We will collaborate to find a more optimal balance of activation in the mind and body using mindful awareness, body based strategies, and collaboration and problem solving to achieve a more balanced state.

I will help you release the grip anxiety has over your life through better understanding your triggers and developing more effective coping strategies.

I see many clients suffering from mild to debilitating stress and anxiety. By employing straightforward strategies alongside a deeper investigation into formative relationships and experiences, I am able to help clients reduce the grip of anxiety and live a calmer, more productive, and more satisfying life.

I work with individuals struggling with anxiety to gain a sense of grounding, presence, and acceptance of the body's natural anxiety responses. As we develop a sense of control over our reactions to anxiety, we can introspect and learn about the culture of our mind and where our anxiety stems from.

I help high-functioning adults move beyond overthinking, self-doubt, and inner tension by working with both mind and body. You’ll learn to relate to your anxiety with compassion—not just manage it, but understand and transform it.

I use a combination of mind-based and body-based approaches to help my clients manage their anxiety so that they can feel a sense of safety in their mind, body and heart.
