I believe that everyone will experience at least a little bit of anxiety in their lifetime. Common worries between individuals may include financial situations, family situations, and health. Stress is also common and can be triggered from the common worries mentioned with anxiety. People with anxiety disorders however experience anxiety repeatedly and it doesn’t completely go away. Anxiety can be triggered by a number of different things, some rational and some not. Anxiety and stress can take a major toll on your mental and physical health. Anxiety can cause an individual to have trouble sleeping, digestive issues, chronic pain, and other physical symptoms.

If you are up at 3am thinking about the “what if’s”, you are in the right place. I believe in providing a safe, nonjudgmental space and exploring to address and manage stress and anxiety. Some of these strategies are for crisis moments: grounding techniques like breathing, tapping, mental exercises; and some of these strategies are preventative: daily expression making, challenging negative thought patterns, wellness planning, self-care. Session can be used to talk through stressors and anxiety triggers; it can be used to practice the above strategies (and more); it can be used to build your understanding of stress and anxiety; creatively release stress and anxiety with art.
