“You don’t have to control your thoughts. You just have to stop letting them control you.” This is a wonderful quote and exactly describes our work together.

Together we will identify your anxiety, begin to understand it, & learn tools or skills to take control of it.

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.

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 believe in the DARE technique, which has proven to be quite successful in significantly decreasing and for some eliminating, anxiety, and will help with stress as well. We will work together to learn new strategies to work through the anxiety and stress and give you back more control in your life. While it can be hard work, it is absolutely possible to get to the other side and get your life back

Anxiety and Stress are two of my top areas for helping clients. Over the years working in this field, I have picked up many tools and tips to help my clients move from anxious to "Normal" in a fairly short period of time.

One of my tools called EMDR is able to knock out most anxiety producing issues very quickly. Some call it a miracle. Come see for yourself!!!

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.
