Art focuses on clients to re-encounter the positive skills they have already known and used, but that life problems made them temporarily forget. This way, clients rely on their own strengths and initiatives for their lives. Treatment will also provide opportunities to learn and apply new skills that in time will become part of the clients' lives.Tool Box for Life and Relational Skills When clients graduate from treatment, they take with them a box full of "tools", such as effective anger management techniques, avoiding confrontations that lead to negative expressions of anger, resolving conflict peacefully and quietly, making the right decisions in every aspect of life, and perseverance to alw....

Stress is not only an internal problem but is evoked by environmental impingement such as family, business, and political currents. All individuals have varying levels of stress in their lives. One of the focuses of psychotherapy is to help with increasing a capacity to move through it. An enhanced capacity for imagination and creativity can be a result.

I teach clients tools that they can use to help calm them when they are feeling stressed. I also teach clients specific strategies to keep their stress and anxiety-related thoughts from interfering with their lives. I give clients positive and adaptive responses to stress. I explore with clients the root of their their fears and the importance of not letting those fears keep them from doing the things they want to do.

Many people have anxiety. Anxiety is the most common problem that clients bring into psychotherapy. Anxiety can create feelings of fear, worry, uneasiness, and dread. Sometimes you can say what it is bothering you. Your job or relationship may be causing you stress and you want to solve the problems. You don’t know how to deal with the mounting pressures. Friends will often say “don’t worry about it” but that doesn’t help. Sometimes you don’t really know what is bothering you it just is. I can show you how spot these feelings before they overwhelm you and what you can do about it. We’ll get clear on what has been difficult for you and how have you been feeling.

Many people struggle with anxiety and stress, and I work frequently with these issues in my practice. These issues take different forms for each person, and therapy is individualized for the person with whom I am working. There are thoughts and thought patterns that contribute to a person's anxiety and sometimes panicky symptoms. Through integrating cognitive-behavioral therapy techniques with also exploring the underlying emotions that are contributing to the anxiety, we can work together to reduce your anxiety and stress.

Stress is a very general term encompassing many factors in one's life circumstance. Defining stress for the individual is the one issue that needs to be undertaken first and foremost. Clients can expect to identify and evaluate various stressors in their lives, gauging each one on it's influence. Stress can directly impact your feelings and needs to be mitigated in order to avoid the common pitfalls of inappropriate levels of anxiety.

Everyone feels anxiety and stress from time to time. But when self-critical thoughts and self-defeating patterns of behavior dominate, getting through the day can be overwhelming.

Together we can explore the triggers that lead to your anxious and stressed feelings and develop new coping mechanisms for relief.

Anxiety can hold you back from feeling your best and feeling capable of engaging in the world around you.

Anxiety and stress are almost ubiquitous in modern life and so they are issues that the vast majority of people need to deal with, at least at some level. I have a novel approach to stress and anxiety in that, based on a great deal of evidence, I believe that stress can become a literal biochemical addiction in the brain. Until this core addiction is overcome, it sets up the potential for a wide variety of destructive repercussions, such as substance abuse, negative health consequences, and disruptions in eating patterns. I also use a powerful body-centered therapeutic method to help deal with and overcome the deep sources of stress that clients are holding onto.

When working with people who struggle with anxiety I teach skills that enable people to manage the daily stresses of life. This includes those struggling with generalized anxiety disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder, phobias, post traumatic stress disorder, and panic disorder. By learning how to cope more effectively with these symptoms people learn how to live more functional and satisfying lives.

Many people live each day with anxiety and stress. But you can learn to cope and manage your anxiety to make each day more enjoyable. With the use of cognitive-behavioral techniques, you can take control of your negative thoughts. With my research and specialization focus on trauma and chronic traumatic exposure in parents and children, I am trained in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy which allows the child (along with their parent) to process, understand, and cope with trauma and improve symptoms.

Everyone experiences anxiety at some point, but for some the anxiety is so frequent or intense that it interferes with their lives or even triggers panic attacks. I use Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help my clients get a sense of control over their own anxiety. We collaborate to learn skills to reduce the frequency or intensity of the anxious feelings, to tolerate the anxiety when it does occur so they can still function through it, and to practice habits that reduce stress and improve general mental health.

Every person out there can relate to feeling anxiety or stress at some point in their life. However, it is a different story when that stress or anxiety impedes your ability to function on a day to day basis. For those who struggle in this manner, it is difficult to convey how horrific the experience is. After working in the field and helping people successfully overcome debilitating anxiety, I truly believe that psychotherapy and the right treatment approach can help anyone become the best version of themselves. It has always been a pleasure of mine seeing the transition take place and knowing that treatment has made such a difference for so many who never thought they could do it!
