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.

Stress and anxiety are the biggest preventable causes of unhappiness and illness. They poison your relationships, self-esteem, health, and happiness. The goals in helping you manage your stress/anxiety are to understand what your personal reaction to anxiety-provoking situations are, identify what your related concerns are, and learn to "let go" of anxiety. I will help you become more aware of the internal self-talk and how your thoughts affect your feelings. Thoughts affect feelings - feelings affect actions.
