Anxiety and stress are common parts of modern life. Jobs, school, families, and partners can all combine to leave us feeling overwhelmed and as if we can't get everything done. And if you have a perfectionist tendency, then you may feel extra anxiety that no matter what you do or how hard you work, you will never be good enough.

You might not be able to "do it all", but you can learn to stop worrying so much, do what you can, and enjoy life!

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.

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

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.
