Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in Flat Rock, NC.

I work with many clients who feel anxiety and stress are getting in their way. We work together on several different levels to alleviate sypmtoms and understand their sources. the first step is to gain control by learning to breathe. Next is to identify where angst is stored in the body and to learn to release it. Finally, we go into depth to identify sources of the stress and to let go of old beliefs and feelings that contribute to a state of anxiety. We also go over the client's liefstyle to see what may need to be modified so that he or she feels more in control and at ease.

When it comes to anxiety and stress (and OCD) there's bad news and GREAT news! Since I started doing therapy in 2004 the majority of my clients have struggled with high levels of anxiety. I have worked with countless people to help support and educate them about how to gain control over overwhelming stress, worry, anxiety and OCD. Since Covid there's been a HUGE increase in anxiety-- I often say, we live in the "age of anxiety." That's the BAD news. But the GREAT news is we've learned a lot about to treat anxiety and OCD disorders. These areas are my specializations. Tele-therapy can absolutely benefit your life by providing objective, personalized support and essential mental health skills.

I work to accurately understand the details of my client's particular anxiety and stress issues. I have helped many people in these areas, and have accumulated a number of effective approaches. I confer with my client as to which may be effective for them, and of course modify my approach as needed.

Managing anxiety and stress has become one of the greatest challenges of modern life. And it doesn't require a major event of difficulty to have anxiety or stress impact your life. While we have more choice than ever before, this also means we face more daily decisions than any time in human history. We have over 4,000 attempts to get our attention every day (mostly advertising.) We are exposed to more information than we can possibly digest. Technology of the past 20 years has gradually increased our daily exposure to stress. Counseling can help you to reclaim your life and health. It's becoming essential to take charge of how you'll limit and manage stresses of modern life.

Anxiety can take away your personal power at the most important moments and start to have too much control over your behavior. Over time, chronic stress can break down a healthy view of yourself. Starting from our first session, I will support your understanding of anxiety, its biological effects, and its impact on your relationships. I will support you to build on developing insight and develop habits that support anxiety and stress reduction. At the end of therapy, you will have a clear plan for sustained control over anxiety and chronic stress. I'm reachable through phone for a free 20-minute consultation to further discuss your needs and answer any questions about my therapy approach.
