I would love to come alongside you and help you with your hardest feelings.

My approach to managing anxiety is twofold. I first evaluate your situation & understand the external factors that impact you. Next we design and implement a plan to address those factors. Skills like assertiveness, and limit setting may be used to deal with the external stressors. The second thing we do is increase your coping skills. We can use specific behavioral plans, changing self-talk, letting go, and using social supports to increase your resiliency. Stress reduction methods such as meditation, exercise, spiritual resources, and breathing exercises may be used. With time and some effort, you will find that your self-doubt and anxiety will be replaced will confidence & self-esteem.

Anxiety/Stress and Depression many times go hand in hand. We will work together to identify and understand the behaviors, emotions, ides, life problems and events that may be contributing to your anxiety/stress about life. We will determine goals and strategies to help restructure ways of thinking and mistaken beliefs that may perpetuate anxiety/stress and/or depression. You will learn coping techniques and problem solving skills to regain a sense of pleasure and control over your life. Together we can move forward toward the life you desire.
