Anxiety is a normal and expected reaction to stress. In small doses, anxiety and worry can help protect us from danger. However, persistent and invasive anxiety can result in feelings of panic, worry and debilitating fears. Long-term anxiety can lead to physical symptoms in your body such as feeling worn down, fatigue and other physical manifestations. I can help bring your anxiety to a more manageable level and empower you to gain some control over your anxious thoughts.

As a Somatic (SE) therapist- mental & emotional health follows the state of the nervous system. If it is flowing seamlessly between sympathetic and parasympathetic; arousal and settling, within a “manageable range” there’s a deep, internal sense of well-being, emotional stability, confidence, clear thinking, aliveness, trust in self and others, and mastery. With SE we will focus on: Your experiences... in the body Learn to track, observe, describe what is going on for you Regulate internal arousal states, shift locked patterns into action, increase body awareness. Encourage emotional engagement with attention to: mindfulness, sensations, movements and impulses. Here & Now find YOU!

This destructive cycle of fear, anxiety and panic attacks move in a circular fashion, one triggering the other. Often times, the person suffering from personality issues often identify anxiety as the major source of their distress. It seems that, for whatever reason, most people find it easier to admit to feeling anxious as opposed to being angry, controlling or being traumatized. Fear, anxiety and panic attacks have deeper psychological root that a lot of people just can't resolve. Consequently their lives are controlled by fear and anxiety.
