Stress and anxiety can go undetected and can cause major health problems. Conversely, some health problems can cause stress and anxiety. After ruling out a medical problem through a physical examination from your MD, a person experiencing anxiety and stress should seek help from a Psychologist. A licensed counselor can help a person to learn about the signs of stress within the body, discover ways to manage stress and anxiety, and effectively use stress to motivate a person and promote healthy change.

Some stress and anxiety are normal. It helps us get things done, like starting a new job or school, moving or getting married.. It becomes a problem when we feel overwhelmed and exhibit physical and emotional symptoms. Physical symptons could include a racing heart, rapid breathing, sweating, trembling and dizzyness. Traumatic events can trigger these responses as well. This is accompanied by negative thoughts such as catastrophizing, overgeneralizing and "shoulds".

How does anxiety and stress play out in your life? It is a vital aspect of our lives, important at very specific times. Yet when anxiety is the ruler and someone is helpless it becomes a life limiting function. Anxiety might also be an avenue to avoid more intense emotional feelings and thoughts. A valuable goal might be to respect and manage one's anxiety and stress in order to live a more free and productive life.

Most days, everyone experiences anxiety and stress on some level. The problem arises when the anxiety begins to interfere with normal functioning and you become paralyzed to be more productive. Anxiety can be a specific fear (worries about safety/security) or more generalized where you just constantly feel “anxious” and do not know why. When you are in that state, it is hard to recognize the triggers, or what thoughts/behaviors may be exacerbating your symptoms. Therapy helps to uncover those patterns while also offering techniques to stop them from being debilitating, so you can move forward with a more satisfying, productive everyday life.

I offer anxiety and stress therapy in a practical, supportive, and down-to-earth way. Many clients feel overwhelmed by constant worry, tension, or racing thoughts, and therapy provides a space to slow things down and gain clarity. Using evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I help you understand your anxiety and develop tools to manage it effectively. Together, we work to reduce stress, improve emotional balance, and help you feel more grounded, confident, and in control of your daily life.

Anxiety can be debilitating, especially if you have panic attacks. It can feel like and assault on your senses and makes you want to flee to safety. I liken it to feeling as if a lion had walked into the room. Your brain tells you there is danger and you must fight or flee. For those who suffer from anxiety medication can help but there are also ways that you can learn to manage and control it. I try to help my patients to understand the universalized thoughts and feelings that feed the anxious beats and to learn techniques that will improve the quality of their lives.
