Psychotherapy provides a robust and adaptable process for addressing both anxiety and stress, often integrating evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). Through 1 therapy, individuals gain a supportive environment to understand the triggers and patterns associated with their anxiety and stress responses. CBT offers practical techniques to identify and challenge anxious or catastrophic thoughts, develop coping skills for managing worry, and implement relaxation strategies. When underlying traumatic experiences or significant life stressors contribute to anxiety and stress, EMDR can facilitate the processing of these memories, reducing their emotional intensity and impact. This comprehensive process empowers

Are you a hard-working guy being crushed by stress? Stress, anxiety, burnout, and addiction are all predictable outcomes when stress gets too high. In my experience, men are often misunderstood and under-appreciated... even by their own wives and children. The good news is that you don’t have to slowly suffer and fade off into the sunset. You were created for more than this, and even strong men need support from time to time. You’ve shown your grit through the ups and downs of life. You’ve already been through a lot. But getting professional help shows a different kind of toughness, and if right now you’re buckling under the weight of life, it’s time to take the next step. I’m here to help.

Anxiety and stress are prevalent in American society and are taking a toll on our health when not well managed. It is correlated with numerous health issues including cardiovascular problems, digestive problems, inflammation, some cancers, and weight gain. While we may, at times, be unable to avoid stressful situations, we can learn skills to help manage it. Through cognitive behavior therapy, people can learn and develop skills to manage the body's exposure to the harmful effects of stress and the thought patterns contributing to maintenance or escalation of stressful feelings..

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.

Anxiety and stress therapy with me is indeed a unique experience. Several assessment tools are used including an accountability chart which guides healthy life balance. Other effective forms of treatment include anxiety management, cognitive therapy and exposure therapy. With anxiety management I teach patients skills that will help them cope. Skills taught include relaxation training, breathing retraining, positive thinking, assertiveness training and thought stopping. Cognitive therapy helps clients change irrational beliefs that interfere with psychological functioning and create emotional disturbances. With Exposure therapy I encourage clients to confront stress/anxiety symptom triggers.

While most treatment approaches for anxiety and stress are effective on the surface, they don’t treat the real problem. Mantras, deep breathing, and rational dialogues about your fear being irrational rarely work---for most people don’t believe it or you! Imagine if you can trick the brain into changing without you telling your conscious mind that you are changing it? Problem with anxiety and stress is that the brain in this state knows you want to change it and it resists.

Children ages 3-ll suffer from anxiety and stress. Anxiety may manifest itself in excessive worry, trouble sleeping, irritability, and restlessness. I use client-centered play therapy in a safe environment, enabling the child to express his/her emotions and thoughts through play. Play Therapy uses play, a child's natural medium of expression, to help them express their feelings more easily through toys instead of words.
