Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in Fallbrook, CA.

Anxiety can act as a major roadblock in one's life. It can hinder our progress towards goals, keep us from new experiences, and put up walls in our relationships. We often don't realize, however,, that a certain level of stress is necessary and keeps us productive and motivated. Learning what healthy, optimum stress levels are for you and how to successfully move stress levels up and down to this level is crucial. Discard unsafe environments and unsafe people. Bring anxiety to a tolerable level and utilize it's energy towards positive action. Positive action builds confidence. Confidence and safe environment/people in one's life lowers unhealthy high levels of anxiety and stress.

While most treatment approaches for anxiety and stress are effective on the surface, they dont treat the real problem. Mantras, deep breathing, and rational dialogues about your fear being irrational rarely work---for most people dont 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.

In many cases, the root of "anxiety and stress" are fears. Many fears are irrational and cognitive distortions ( catastrophizing, all or nothing thinking, mind reading, personalizing and negative labeling and predicting the negative outcomes), These distortion causes one to predict outcomes not necessarily based on reality. In most cases these negative predictions cause unnecessary and uncomfortable stress and anxiety.

You don't have to be anxious anymore! The biggest secret to being anxiety free, lies in understanding what anxiety really is. It is a generalized "fear" with no object. This means that the anxious person honestly answers the question, "What are you afraid of?" with "I don't know." When you come to therapy with me, I will teach how to answer the most important question that you can ask yourself, "What is behind the anxiety?" When you pay attention to the bodily sensations that exist "behind" your anxiety, the change process begins. In time, with successful treatment, you will experience a sense of peace. Calm confidence can become your usual or normal experience as the anxiety fades.

I work with clients using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness, Narrative Therapy, Expressive Arts, and psychoeducation to address anxiety and stress.

I'm able to work with clients experiencing burnout, increased anxiety, and higher stress relying on neuroscience as the guide.

Experiencing occasional anxiety is a normal part of life. However, anxiety disorders and ongoing chronic stress can appear as repeated episodes of worry & fear, or develop into sudden feelings of intense anxiety with physical sensations, known as panic attacks. Your anxiety may feel related to an event or thought, and other times appear to occur randomly and without cause. Anxiety can develop at any age, when left untreated it may develop into depression. In therapy we will explore how anxiety is affecting your life. You will learn how your physical, emotional and mental health are connected and together create an effective treatment plan specific to your goals to improve your well-being.

The modern world we live in is full of amazing technological advancements and organizational wonders, but it is also more complex and demanding than ever before. The myriad competing demands of our lives, how busy we are, the continual pressure to do and be more creates enormous stress for all of us.
