Everyone feels anxiety at some point in their lives but when it starts to interfere with your life, counseling can help. Although anxiety can feel debilitating, it is treatable. People with anxiety don’t always share the same symptoms, they vary from person to person. Therapy will help you to reclaim your life and function in a chronically stressful world.

Psychotherapy provides a robust and adaptable process for addressing both anxiety and stress, often integrating evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). Through 1 therapy, individuals gain a supportive environment to understand the triggers and patterns associated with their anxiety and stress responses. CBT offers practical techniques to identify and challenge anxious or catastrophic thoughts, develop coping skills for managing worry, and implement relaxation strategies.

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!

Most of us experience anxiety and/or stress at some point. However, when it persists and reaches a heightened level of intensity, therapy may be needed and can have a powerful impact on reducing these symptoms. Talk therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy are two approaches shown to have success in treating anxiety. Talk therapy allows for my clients to open up and unburden themselves from the weight of what they may be carrying and validating their experience and emotions. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps address and shift any unhealthy thinking or behaviors associated with the anxiety. This can significantly improve ones ability to manage their anxiety.

Through Cognitive Behavioral interventions individuals practice and learn holistic interventions to help reduce their level of stress and anxiety. In sessions patients will engage in exercises that include deep breathing, guided imagery, meditation, yoga and journalling. Also, Dialectical Behavioral interventions are taught to enhance mindfulness skills and regulate emotions in a positive way. I have a very creative outlook and energy in treating anxiety and stress.
