Anxiety is a physiological response to a real or perceived threat. Counseling can help with anxiety by seeking to understand and eliminate that threat and by providing useful coping strategies when anxiety strikes. Benefits include a less frequent and intense experience of anxiety symptoms and the development of skills for handling them when they do occur. One important benefit of working with a counselor on your anxiety is being able to talk about it without feeling judged. I help clients with anxiety find answers to their own questions without judgment.

Anxiety and stress can be crippling. Many times the cause of the anxiety and stress can be rooted in the fast paced lives that we live. Other times there can be multiple issues causing the anxiety.

Problems with anxiety can manifest in many ways. Panic attacks, obsessive compulsive disorders, avoiding certain situations or places, and how we interact with others. Getting to the core of the anxiety with EMDR can help clients process the event that has created the anxiety desensitizing its triggers to help the client move past the traumatic event. Children can also experience worry and anxiety. These may include things such as problems with friends, problems in school, worry about the future or their parent’s relationship. Getting help is the first step to making change.

Anxiety and Stress usually have both physical and mental symptoms. Physical symptoms like sweating, nausea, difficulty breathing, tense muscles, and rapid heart rate. And mental symptoms like racing thoughts, easily getting distracted, or not being able to turn your mind off. I can help you become aware of your reaction to anxiety and stress, both physically and mentally, and develop coping strategies to manage these symptoms so you can feel relief. I can teach you relaxation strategies and mindful exercises.

Anxiety and stress can be overwhelming and exhausting. It can limit your ability to function and enjoy life.

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.

Anxiety is fear taken to the extreme. It shuts people down or causes them to try to control. It may make us fret and rob us of joy (we get stressed out). Our answer to it is often self-sufficiency (defensive strategies) which does not work. I use biblio therapy (reading materials), cognitive therapy, and physiological relaxation strategies, along with Truth to know who we are and to increase one's resilience to be vulnerable in a healthy way. Better boundary setting may be essential, etc.

Stress and anxiety are like a snowball that gets bigger and more daunting with each revolution and addition of new snow. Stress and anxiety are rooted in our core beliefs and manifest in irrational thinking patterns. I can help by teaching symptom coping skills, challenging and changing core beliefs and identifying and resolving irrational thinking patterns.

There are many ways to treat anxiety/stress. There are the typical coping skills and I specialize in these. I will walk you through deep breathing, visualizations and PMR. There are things that you can do to calm your nervous system. Sometimes anger is also at the root of the cause of anxiety. So addressing past issues and working through anger would be beneficial. If someone just wants coping skills, then coping skills it is.
