Long term exposure to stress can creep up unannounced leaving you feeling restless, exhausted and unable to relax. Did you know that anxiety is the body's attempt to defend against a perceived or a real threat? Behind the anxiety is a belief that leads to fear.

As a high-achieving man, anxiety and stress comes with the territory. And you wouldn’t be where you are today in life unless you’ve handled it pretty well until now. But most successful men find that anxiety eventually impacts them. Whether it’s slowly been eating at you for years, or you’ve just experienced your first panic attack, you’re not going crazy. There are solutions, and this can get better. I help men learn practical stress-management techniques, but I don’t stop there. I also help them identify the root causes of their stress and anxiety, and use research-proven EMDR therapy to systematically target them. The results are measurable, evidenced by deeper calm and clarity of mind.

Anxiety and stress can be a normal part of life. However, when it gets to be too much, it can be necessary to see a therapist. I work with my clients utilizing a cognitive-behavioral approach and use behavioral changes to assist clients in developing healthier coping skills when under stress.

While most treatment approaches for anxiety and stress are effective on the surface, they don’t treat the real problem. Mantras, deep breathing, and rational dialogues about your fear being irrational rarely work---for most people don’t believe it or you! Imagine if you can trick the brain into changing without you telling your conscious mind that you are changing it? Problem with anxiety and stress is that the brain in this state knows you want to change it and it resists.

According to Dr. Robert Scaer, we have three choices when we face difficult situations: we can fight, run or freeze the emotions involved. Many times, people do not have the option to change things or get away- so they stuff the feelings. These feelings can "come out" as anxiety, depression, control of others, medicating and or physical illness. I am excited to treat anxiety and stess with newer mindfulness techniques.

I provide anxiety counseling in Gilbert, AZ. While we all experience some level of anxiety and stress, there is certainly a point when the feelings of anxiety and stress becomes suffocating and overwhelming. When worries keep you up late at night and you feel as though you can’t escape your thoughts and feelings of dread throughout the day, this can lead to misery and desperation. My approach to anxiety counseling is help you figure out what is leading to these thoughts and worries, and work to process through situations that may be at the root of your anxiety, as well as provide you with the tools and resources to manage the symptoms more effectively.
