When you feel anxiety coming on, move your body, let it go, think about your strengths and the amazing things you've done and the unlimited possibilities that are open to you.

Every day, think about the new opportunities you could be inviting into your life. When things are challenging, smile, you've got this....try something new, and if it doesn't work, be thankful and try something new again. Look for the good bright spots in your journey!

We can use mindfulness techniques to work with difficult emotions or a lack of emotions day to day. Exercise, diet, sleep and many daily activities can be utilized to help with difficult times.

I take an individualized approach so the process depends on how you want to approach it and what your needs are.

Anxiety is the body’s alarm system working overtime. My approach blends mindfulness and somatic regulation to help your nervous system discern real threat from old conditioning. Instead of managing symptoms, we teach your body how to stand down. As you learn to notice without bracing, your body recalibrates. Over time, anxiety becomes less of an enemy and more of a message that no longer needs to shout. The goal isn’t to eliminate anxiety, but rather to build a steadier baseline where calm feels safe again.

How much is your anxiety costing you? Individuals who suffer from anxiety and chronic stress are less productive at work and are more likely to call in sick. They are 3-5 times more likely to go to the doctor as anxiety often feels like physical illness. Their relationships with family and friends suffer or are sometimes cut off completely.

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.

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.

Anxiety and Stess: I work with my clients to help them manage, reduce, and eliminate their stress and anxiety. EFT Tapping is one of the primary techniques that I use with my clients to help them with their stress and anxiety. I help them to find out what is underneath the stress and anxiety, often it is a hidden fear or limiting belief system. Tapping is one of the absolute best mind body clearing techniques for stress, anxiety, and overwhelm. It works incredibly well to rewire the subconscious mind and calm the body's nervous system. My clients have experienced profound results with EFT Tapping. The benefits include feeling more relaxed, present, happier, calmer, and more joyful.
