This comprehensive process empowers

Many times anxiety comes out of nowhere and can make you feel paralyzed. No matter how much you try to stop it or apply logic it just doesn't help.

Problem with anxiety and stress is that the brain in this state knows you want to change it and it resists.

At KML, we have several anxiety specialists. We believe that anxiety is highly neurological and we are 'wired' to move through the world in particular ways. Sometimes this can be due to traumas or other things that make us hypervigalent to the world around us. It is also highly genetic in nature. Anxiety can be located in the mind and also sometimes the body, just depending on the person. We are here to help you rewire your mind/body and cope with anxiety in more healthy ways. We also have unique evidence-based ways to help you, including test anxiety methods, EMDR, SSP, and others.

I work with clients to externalize anxiety and stress; then to deconstruct their preferred view of themselves. As therapy progressed clients develop understanding regarding causes, signs and symptoms and explore techniques in managing anxiety and stress. When possible family members may be recommended to join the session to assist the client in assessing his/her stories in arriving at desired changes.

Stress is a normal part of everyone's lives, however, when left unmanaged it can become overwhelming.

Processing traumatic experiences and gaining perspective into what is contributing to your symptoms can shed light on how to lessen the severity and have more good days than bad. We will utilize therapy techniques tailored to your specific needs to assist you in making progress.

Working with clients who are experiencing anxiety and stress is a passion and specialty of mine. I am unique in my approach because I come from both a psychological background, but also from a background of many years studying and teaching yoga and meditation, which is the science of developing personal peace. I help clients to develop ways to decrease stress and anxiety without the use of medication by utilizing breathing techniques and mindfulness practices. I also use a cognitive behavioral approach that helps to recognize negative irrational thoughts while replacing these thoughts with more positive and realistic thoughts. I offer individual therapy and regular group therapy.
