Everyone feels anxiety at some point in their lives but when it starts to interfere with your life, counseling can help. Although anxiety can feel debilitating, it is treatable. People with anxiety don’t always share the same symptoms, they vary from person to person. Therapy will help you to reclaim your life and function in a chronically stressful world.

Cold sweats. Butterflies in the stomach. Avoidance. Sense of doom. Pounding heart. Racing and repetitive thoughts. Symptoms of anxiety are often overwhelming and leave us feeling powerless in their wake. Anxiety can feel like a thief of joy. In therapy, working both on the root causes and the symptoms themselves leads us toward a more fulfilling and peace-filled life.

We often go through our lives in a chronic state of anxiety. Often feeling overwhelmed by not knowing what it is we're even anxious about. I help clients identify the "why" behind their anxiety. Once we identify the why and other emotions present, we can identify what we need. Once we are able to work towards meeting that need, often our anxiety subsides. Learning to relate to our anxiety with compassion, is also a critical step in lowering and regulating symptoms of anxiety.

We are not born with anxiety. Anxiety and stress are a learned way to cope with difficult situations, and they actually do not help the situation, they just make it worse. Medication treats the symptoms, and can be helpful, but it does not heal anything. I want to work with you to help discover what is the reason you react this way and others don't. We can explore how you learned this, and discover if there is indeed a better coping mechanism available to you.

Is your anxiety keeping you from living your life fully, or keeping you from attaining your goals? Daily responsibilities or personal trauma can create anxiety and stress that is difficult to overcome alone. I create an environment with client's that is safe and encouraging, teaching them the skills they need to overcome their anxiety and deal more effectively with stress. I utilize CBT and hypnotherapy to get to the source of the anxiety and depression and teach new skills that alleviate anxiety and depression.
