Anxiety

Coping with excessive worry, nervousness, or stress; intense discomfort in social settings (social anxiety); sudden and intense feelings of panic (panic disorder).

I am a Certified Clinical Anxiety Treatment Professional and enjoy working with struggles that include components of anxiety. I use a combination of ACT, CBT, DBT, and ERP to assist within working through these struggles.

I help identify self-care that matches your life/personality/pocket. We start with the main strategies that can be adjusted to your unique situation. I use mindfulness that can be practiced at any time and feels compassionate to my clients.

You're looking for treatment that will really help - more than what a friend could offer, more than just support and a listening ear. You're suffering from symptoms like intense anxiety, life-limiting fears, unwanted thoughts or memories, or sleepless nights, and you want something that offers healing, relief, and growth. Maybe you've tried this before, and it didn't work. Maybe you're at the end of your rope. You need a care team who listens carefully, understands the issues, and helps you.

I help people slow down the mind and disentangle overwhelming thoughts and body sensations so you can find more peace and ease in your day-to-day. For clients whose anxiety is related to trauma, we also work on strategies for decreasing trauma-related symptoms and finding grounding in the here and now.

Anxiety goes beyond normal worrying. It can lead to physical symptoms like panic attacks and inflammatory diseases. Rather than battling the part of you that's anxious, we can work to understand it and learn why it's showing up. This curious approach can shift energy away from internal strife and towards internal peace.

I have worked with numerous clients with anxiety symptoms in my career in college counseling and community mental health. As a generalist, this is among the most frequent presenting concerns.

Anxiety can be normal in many situations but when you are experiencing intense, excessive, and persistent worry and fear about every day situations, it can feel debilitating. Sometimes it can feel as though you are experiencing serious physical symptoms such as fast heart, rapid breathing, sweating, excessively tired and more. Together we will find the root cause of what you are experiencing to reduce your symptoms. Acceptance Committment therapy and mindfulness techniques will be explored.

I have experience working with individuals experiencing symptoms of anxiety that are impacting their daily functioning, attention to basic needs, employment, school and interpersonal relationships. I understand that anxiety presents itself in different ways for each person and work with clients to identify how they experience anxiety, discuss how these symptoms present physically and emotionally, identify potential triggers for symptoms and explore how they are currently managing the symptoms.

I have been working with the full spectrum of anxiety disorders throughout my career, including general anxiety, OCD, panic, and phobias. I have knowledge and training in the modalities that have been shown to be the most effective in reducing anxiety and improving your quality of life so you can focus on the things that matter most. These include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Exposure with Response Prevention (ERP), and mindfulness-based skills to calm the body.

Anxiety, increasingly common today, can wreak havoc when unmanaged, like a 2 year old with scissors, anxiety creates chaos in our minds. If left untreated, it can manifest as depression, stress, fear, conflict avoidance, chronic illness, even addiction. The positive news is that anxiety, in all its forms, is highly treatable. Effective therapy can transform this overwhelming force into a manageable aspect of life, leading to greatly improved well-being.

Anxiety can take many forms—it might feel like a heavy weight on your chest, relentless racing thoughts, digestive issues, constant restlessness, or overwhelming emotions. However it shows up, anxiety is your body’s way of signaling that something in your life needs attention and care.
