Anxiety is the most common symptom that people report when I begin my work with them. We live in a high-stress world with an overwhelming number of demands and expectations, and it is often difficult to keep up. Anxiety is like a nagging voice that won't leave us alone, always telling us that what we are doing is never enough. It robs us of our peace and creates a world of fear inside of us. I understand how paralyzing this can be. DBT provides us with a number of coping skills to help manage the anxiety and learn a healthier way to live. Mindfulness is the skill that I have found to be most effective in creating distance between us and our thoughts, and ultimately internal peace.

I work with my clients to develop a treatment plan that is specific to his/her level of anxiety and stress. Working with the client and using an eclectic approach we identify the triggers of the anxiety or stress. We are then able to create a treatment plan focused on extinguishing or minimizing the anxiety or stress. Mindfulness activities, breathing exercises, art therapy, guided meditation, Buddha boards, kinetic sand trays, crystals are some of the tools I teach my clients how to use, and they are able to use these tools at home, work, or school with relative ease.

Anxiety in and of itself is not always a negative thing. What is important to consider is the severity of the anxiety and its source. For example, a little anxiety may be necessary to help a person feel better prepared for an upcoming test or exam. In that case, anxiety can serve as a reminder or a motivating factor. Anxiety can at times be severe to the point of debilitating someone and interferes with activities of daily living.

Anxiety and stress frequently signal underlying issues that require attention.

At our center, we offer diverse approaches to navigate and alleviate anxiety, facilitating inner peace and balance.

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.
