Stress, anxiety, and panic attacks are all too common in our sometimes overwhelming day to day lives: partners, work, children, family and other stressors are constantly pushing us to the breaking point. We also can experience anxiety that seemingly comes out of nowhere, anxiety that seems irrational such as a fear of getting out of the house, shopping, being around people or strange places. I work with my clients to overcome these fears; not only do I help relieve the symptoms with tried and true CBT methods, but I also like to go a bit deeper and look for the causes of anxiety. When these causes are addressed, the anxiety is more likely to go away for good.

Anxiety is our body's natural alarm system that tells us when something is wrong. Though sometimes, our alarm system needs to be re-wired a bit. This is what we do in therapy. We first start with looking at the cause of the stress and anxiety, and then together look for ways to manage the feelings that work for you. A psychodynamic approach to anxiety management looks like managing symptoms and then diving a bit deeper to see where our unconscious beliefs and expectations of ourselves merge with how we relate to people and the world. Anxiety is a physical reaction, so being able to tune into what is happening in our body will help us be able to calm it.

Life is a lot, especially for Millennials and Gen Z trying to navigate careers, relationships, and constant pressure to keep it all together. Your mind’s racing, your body’s tense, and no matter what you do, it never really feels like enough. Anxiety and stress can take a serious toll, emotionally, mentally, and physically. In therapy, we’ll slow things down, explore what’s fueling the overwhelm, and give you tools to feel more calm, grounded, and in control again. You don’t have to keep holding it all together alone.

Often when we encounter the pain from trauma we run from the danger, we freeze and get stuck or we go into fight mode to defend ourselves. We do this for good reason. This is how we were wired for protection from threat. At some point along the way we begin to realize that these responses may have helped us in the past when we were in survival mode but they are no longer serving us. We can learn to reflect on our past experiences with compassion and curiosity. Therapy approaches such as Internal Family Systems Therapy and EMDR can help to calm our nervous systems, heal our inner child and integrate our pain and distress in order to move forward as our true selves with more peace and joy.
