Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in Gastonia, NC.

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.

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.

I have never met anyone who hasn't struggled with anxiety or stress at least once in their lives, it can range from a mild inconvenience to a debilitating condition. In counseling, we can identify your triggers, and ways to reduce or eliminate them, learn relaxation techniques and coping skills, declutter your thoughts, prioritize your goals, and increase joy in your daily life.

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.

The experience of anxiety and stress can be caused by multiple factors, such as mind, body, emotions, personality tendencies, relationships, and so on. For that reason, I offer a wide variety of resources to help you change how you are responding to anxiety and stress with very practical coping skills, as well as exploration into relational or other reasons for the anxious response. We feel and store emotion in the body, and anxiety is there to alert us that something needs changed. We all have some measure of anxiety and stress at times, it is just finding out what is causing it for you, and what you need to manage and minimize it.
