Living with excessive worry and uncontrollable negative thoughts may impede your functioning during the day and keep you up at night.

You and I will collaborate on a treatment plan that maps out how we’re going to get there.

Anxiety is a feeling that we experience at some point in our life. It’s that feeling of intense nervousness and fear that translate into physical symptoms. For some, the experience occurs more frequently with more severity and can go from occurring periodically to an everyday feeling.

You will learn where your feelings of anxiety are stemming from and why they are so persistent.

I will show you how you make yourself anxious about the things you find threatening and challenging.

I will show you how to philosophically accept what cannot be avoided and thereby minimize the stress you feel about what cannot be changed or avoided. Using the power of your own ability to think in a self-helping way I will help you to change your feelings of anxiety.

Anxiety and stress are interrelated. Generally people with anxiety disorders, including obsessive-compulsive disorder, tend to internalize conflicts that cause them to always be stressed out, which affects their thinking and behavior.

In time they learn to moderate their feelings, cope better with stressful situations and live a calmer life.
