Ironically, anxiety is the root of most of our problems. Partner distress, sexual dysfunction, career disappointments, parenting troubles, etc. Anxiety, and how to deal with it, is the core of my therapy practice. We will explore your loyalty to fear and what exactly it is that you fear. Ultimately, whatever goal we decide, reducing anxiety is part of it.

Anxiety and stress can feel debilitating and even lead to creating physical ailments if left untreated. Anxiety and stress can be treated in as few as one/two treatments or several depending on the need. I believe it is important to determine the root cause of what is creating anxiety/stress. Once we localize the typical cause we can teach individuals how to counter the triggers that lead to anxiety/stress. We can use several treatments CBT, EMDR, Positive Psychology, Mindfulness and even lifestyle changes to help provide relief to help you begin living the life you would like to begin living.

Anxiety often develops during our growing up years that seem to manifest itself during our adult years when the stresses of life can take its tole. We will explore the root of your anxiety, as well as teach skills to manage it before it gets out of hand. If willing, using hypnosis can help one get in touch with those often forgotten memories. Through hypnosis, one can express the pain, frustration, hurt and anger that often gets stored in our bodies.

While most treatment approaches for anxiety and stress are effective on the surface, they dont treat the real problem. Mantras, deep breathing, and rational dialogues about your fear being irrational rarely work---for most people dont 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.
