Anxiety and stress are, unfortunately, a normal part of life. How you manage it is the goal of my work. I help you develop strategies to make normal stress manageable. Neither anxiety or stress should control you.

We will work together to remove stressors from ones life when possible, and examine and edit the assumptions that contribute to our anxiety.

We can also utilize techniques such as writing, use of music and drama to support anxiety reduction.

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.

Each person's stress tolerance is very different. One person can withstand high demands and multiple changes that may have another person feeling overwhelmed and in tears. Counseling can provide not only an outlet for these feelings, it can help you to make necessary lifestyle modifications or even raise your stress tolerance. It is important to address feelings of anxiety and stress as prolonged stress can lead to poor sleep, health issues, and decline in work performance. It can also adversely effect significant relationships as stress sometimes comes out as anger and irritability at home. Getting professional help may be necessary to avoid long-term problems and adjust priorities.

Therapy involves working together as partners to identify and alleviate troubling aspects in your life. No conclusions will be drawn independent of you. We will discuss and interpret your experiences as a team. Your first appointment will be an exploration of your goals and expectation in order to determine an effective plan of therapy. We will establish clear "units of work" by which to chart progress and encourage completion. As we progress, the frequency of visits can be adapted to your changing needs.
