Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in Edgewater, CO.

Lao Tzu said, "If you're anxious, it's because you're living in the future. If you're at peace, it's because you're living in the present." Often anxiety looks like leaving the present moment and projecting into the future, trying to think 10 steps ahead about things that haven't happened yet. This future thinking leads to stress in the present. I teach clients how to tune into their emotions (including anxiety), their bodies (as an anchor to the present moment) and move through anxiety as it arises using their breath. Anxiety and stress don't have to run your life. I'm here to support you in regulating your anxiety and stress by staying with yourself in the present moment.

Free yourself from stress and anxiety. Your life does not have to be ruled by stress and anxiety. Stress and anxiety have become the norm in our daily life. We are stressed about work, family, relationships, health, money, and life. Together we get to the root of your stress and anxiety. You will learn tools, tricks and rituals to ease and silence your anxiety.

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.

I will help you address anxiety and stress by taking small, manageable steps that will eventually lead to big changes. I take a gentle cognitive-behavioral approach to helping clients gradually overcome anxiety. I will help you identify beliefs that keep you stuck, and challenge thoughts that perpetuate these unhelpful ideas. I will share with you how avoidance keeps us stuck by tricking our brain and validating that this is how we are kept safe. With support, we will change this cycle by developing corrective experiences that promote new beliefs and ways of being.

True Happiness and Stability Stems from the Quality of our Significant Relationships! I provide therapy for children, adolescents, individuals, elders, couples, and families. I focus on people's strengths and possibilities while addressing their real life difficulties. I provide a wide variety of evidence-based treatment approaches. Which means that all the therapy that I implement is highly researched and therefore, proven to work, if followed correctly. I believe in a holistic approach to the therapeutic process that incorporates biological, psychological, social, and spiritual dimensions empowering a person or family towards mastering life to its fullest.

I use talk therapy, CBT, and EMDR to approach the treatment process for clients suffering from anxiety and stress. With anxiety, EMDR can prove to be key because it allows the brain to search the root causes of a person's anxiety and find healing at a base level. This is much more affective than simply treating symptoms of anxiety. Once the root cause is discovered, relief will naturally occur. However, it is also important to address the present symptoms and help clients make changes in their lives to alleviate anxiety and develop healthy coping skills.

I believe that there are certain levels of Anxiety and Stress that can be a positive influence for each of us. It is when Anxiety and Stress start to negatively impact our lives that we need to begin the work to discover how we can implement change. My goal as a therapist is to help you explore where the Anxiety and Stress are coming from and to help you make educated choices about how you want to transform.
