Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in Livonia, MI.

Anxiety and stress are two of the most common plagues of our society. They are also two of the most fixable. I've seen clients overcome amazing obstacles about specific anxiety (i.e., flying or dealing with certain family members) as well as the everyday stress that seems inescapable these days. We can't always change the circumstances, but I can give you lots of tools to change how you respond to them and to take back control.

I specialize in Anxiety and Stress treatment. My approach is to not just help you manage your anxiety but to overcome the anxiety. By integrating cognitive behavioral and psychodynamic approaches you will resolve feelings and experiences that contribute to the anxiety and correct negative and distorted thinking. If you are someone who tends to overdo for others or if you are a people pleaser I will help you learn to set boundaries and implement assertiveness techniques. These can be very helpful in reducing anxiety. You can worry less and feel more confident.

Clients move from “patterns of limited thinking” to developing alternative balanced thoughts and learn how to stop their anxiety by identifying and altering the thoughts accompanying the anxiety. We teach thought stopping, worry control, and coping with panic. Clients address their symptoms in four areas of physical reactions, thoughts, behaviors and moods. assign exercises from various workbooks with a focus on clients ability to identify and challenge “automatic thoughts” and “hot thoughts.” Utilizing the premise that emotions, thoughts, and behaviors are interconnected clients practice the skills of mindfulness and distress tolerance for managing their emotions.

Everyone has feelings of anxiety and stress at some point in their life...

According to the National Institute of Mental Health, anxiety disorders affect 40 million Americans a year. Don't be a victim, be a survivor of anxiety!

Whether you're experiencing high-functioning anxiety, persistent worry, or difficulty managing stress, we'll work together to improve emotional regulation and build confidence.
