Stress and anxiety have always existed. Our brains encode fear easily as a way to protect us from danger. A small amount of angst can help us feel motivated, but when it grows, it can stop us in our tracks. With the rise of technology, many people feel submersed in stress. Constant emails make us feel like work never ends. We text at meals times instead of having real conversations. Consider the stressful impact of 24/7 access to negative news reports, traffic filled commutes, over-schedulled lives, and its easy to see a recipe for anxiety. Learning to be mindful, taking breaks and truly connecting emotionally can create confidence to face fears and even dissolve them.

We all experience immense anxiety and stress at some point in our lives, most often, we experience it frequently. Anxiety and stress becomes a problem when it starts interfering with our day-to-day functioning, or when we begin avoid people, places, or things. I truly believe 1) getting to the root of what's going on - is crucial, but also 2) exposing oneself to the anxiety provoking stimuli (with a toolbox of techniques to use when anxious) is ultimately going to be the key to succeed.

In today's world, we are stressed as never before.

Are you overwhelmed? Do you feel anxious, on edge, or do you find yourself worrying a lot? If it feels like your mind is spinning with worries, counseling can help. Some people experience anxiety physically with a racing heart, headaches or sweating. Others feel anxiety in their minds with racing thoughts, repetitive worrying, and intrusive thoughts. Some experience anxiety in their relationships with difficulty feeling connected to loved ones. Counseling can help ease the physical experience of stress, calm the racing thoughts, and help you to improve your relationships. A variety of cognitive, mind-body, and relational strategies can help you to make some of these lasting changes.

One of my main areas of focus is treating anxiety. I use a physiological approach rather than a cognitive approach since anxiety manifests physically and thus must be treated accordingly. Combining several techniques such as yoga, breathing exercises, sensory focusing, and visualization can be very powerful in helping the central nervous system relax and stop being in "alert" mode. As a result, clients report being less stressed in general if they practice these techniques regularly and not just during therapy sessions. Additionally, in some cases, medication and/or natural supplements may be necessary in order for the person to have the best outcome.

I want to help you get relief from your anxiety. Living with a lot of anxiety can feel like you don’t quite get to be yourself. It can leave you not enjoying life as much as you’d like. Sometimes it can impact your relationships. We’ll look at the situations that trigger your anxiety. We’ll track what your perceptions are, what behaviors you do, what other feelings are there along with the anxiety. Once we have a better understanding of the anxiety, we can explore more effective ways of managing it. I will also help you learn the practice of self-compassion, as well as tools that can help reduce anxiety.

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 and stress go hand in hand. Anxiety is a customary reaction to a stressful situation. But, in some cases it becomes excessive and can cause sufferers to dread everyday situations. Stress is a reality for all of us. But, it does not have to overwhelm us. Some people may have a genetic predisposition to anxiety. Early traumatic experiences can also reset the body's normal fear-processing system so that it is hyper-reactive to stress. The goal would be to; rid the exaggerated worries and negative outcomes in unknown situations. I will counsel you on the many ways to reduce the amount of stress in your life, along with techniques to adjust your reaction to those factors.

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.
