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 are a part of everyday life. Often, they have a reciprocal relationship with each other. Simply put, anxiety is the discrepancy between where you want to go and where you are. I approach anxiety in a unique way. I treat anxiety as if it is the body's alarm system. In addition to helping alleviate the immediate symptoms of anxiety I will work to help you harness the energy of your anxiety. You can use that energy to help accomplish your goals.

Anxiety encompasses the fears and worries that often dominate our lives. This state of mind feeds stress and can also contribute to stress becoming a vicious cycle. Counseling, hypnotherapy, meditation practices and yoga are all ways to assist with managing stress and anxiety. Counseling with me provides an outlet to process your feelings, receive validation and support, and discover new ways of thinking, feeling, and behaving. Hypnotherapy helps get to the root of your anxiety. As you learn to attend to your own needs, meditation and yoga serve as effective tools to focus your awareness into the present moment bringing peace and serenity. I look forward to the opportunity to work together!

Jennifer encourages clients suffering from anxiety and/or stress to do an evaluation of the factors in their life that is causing the stress or anxiety.

Anxiety and stress must be addressed before your health is compromised. I will help you get to the root causes of your anxiety and stress so you can be set free.

I use cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness-based approaches to anxiety.

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.
