We live in a society that can put a lot of pressure on us to perform (say, at work, or with friends and family). Sometimes it's difficult for us to be who we "really are" and still perform to the standards we feel are expected of us. Understandably, this can lead to stress and anxiety (perhaps also depression, which often goes hand-in-hand with anxiety). There are a lot of ways that we can be triggered, and psychotherapy allows us to become aware of what they are, where they come from, and how we might be able to find who we "really are" with that.

If you suffer from anxiety you are very aware of your physical symptoms of jitters, tension, increased heart rate, and light-headed-ness. In your mind you tend to overestimate danger, underestimate your ability to cope and have catastrophic thoughts. Usually an event that triggered panic brings you for help. While I can provide tools that can help you learn to reduce your anxiety, reflecting on your relationship with yourself and others will help you make personal transformation. For example the fear of being alone after a long term relationship ends, can lead to panic about your future. Addressing what happened in that relationship & past relationship patterns will help you learn your needs

Stress and anxiety are natural, healthy responses to distressing conditions. I work to understand your anxiety and stress and together figure out how to alleviate it so that you can better get through what you're going through, lead the life you want and are meant to live, and have some pleasure doing so.

At its core, anxiety is rooted in the belief that things are not safe. And beliefs about safety, being connected to survival, are not stored in our cognitive mind. As anyone who's struggled with anxiety well knows, our logical mind is usually not the part running the show in those moments. Neurologically, this makes sense - if you aren't safe, you don't want to have to think about what to do next. You want it to happen reflexively. This mental bipass is very adaptive; Unfortunately, it's also why cognitive and analytical treatments often fall short. Combining psychodynamics with somatic techniques, I help clients to not only manage symptoms but to heal the underlying cause.
