Are you tired of feeling anxious? Is stress ruining your life? I utilize various techniques to help you achieve your goal. Among them are cognitive therapy, hypnotherapy, creative visualization and role play. I have been able to assist clients in successfully manage their anxiety and stress, so they can have a more productive life and find happiness.

In our daily lives, stress, worries and anxieties are silent killers. They contribute to major morbidity and mortality in common medical diseases worsening the outcomes. Our approach not only gives you the tools to conquer stress, but provides the “how” of applying these tools to each new challenge. Benefits include a happier and more optimistic life, a peaceful and tranquil approach to problems and a way of breaking the recurring disastrous cycle of stress.

I help clients understand how anxiety develops and how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are connected. Together, we explore unhelpful thinking patterns and practice practical strategies to manage worry, such as challenging negative thoughts, using calming techniques, and gradually approach feared situations. I support clients as they build confidence and learn skills that make anxiety more manageable, empowering them to navigate daily life with greater calm, clarity, and control.

Anxiety can rob you of the ability to be at peace and experience joy. It interferes with relationships and your ability to focus. I will help you interrupt those racing thoughts or worries and to deal with them in a calm and structured way so that you are no longer at their mercy. We can also work to uncover the roots of stress or anxiety so that you have insight into what started those feelings and what may be triggering them. When you can understand yourself, you can begin to take care of yourself and control those feelings in new ways. Call me to discuss what kind of anxiety you struggle with and we will talk about what kind of help you would like.

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.

Are there issues from your past which seem to intrude into your present life? Are you constantly on alert for the next disaster? Does it seem like you hold your breath or have trouble breathing? We can find ways to explore the anxiety and stress, to unpack the meaning of these challenges and build tools to care for yourself and reduce symptoms. You can learn to let go of anticipatory worry, safely connect to others and be present in your daily life.

Do you worry all the time? Is it hard for you to turn off your thoughts? Do anxious thoughts keep you up at night? Do you experience panic attacks in which you have trouble breathing or feel like you're having a heart attack? Alisa can help you learn how to manage symptoms of anxiety with relaxation tools, other stress management tools, and ways to decrease anxious thoughts and feelings.

We experience anxiety in many ways: excessive worry about future events, catastrophic thoughts, insomnia, restlessness, pounding heart, sweating, avoidance of specific things. While we cannot avoid stress, our ways of coping with stressful situations affect our mental, physical and spiritual health. In a safe, empathetic environment, I help clients understand how thoughts, behaviors, environmental changes/life situations, moods and physical reactions affect anxiety level. Together, we develop effective coping strategies to reduce anxiety, regain a sense of empowerment and a return to the calm and balanced life we deserve.

I see this as the "common cold" of mental health issues that every client struggles with on some level. I help clients look at possible past and current factors that may be creating or maintaining the stress and anxiety. If the anxiety/stress is coming from past or current traumatic experiences, EMDR therapy helps clients re-process them to come to a more adaptive view that aids healing. I teach relaxation, deep breathing, and meditation practices to be used at home to decrease the impact of stress and anxiety on a client's life. Finally, I help clients identify and rid themselves of unhealthy relationships that may be creating or maintaining the anxiety.

Successfully treating anxiety and stress is often illusive. Don't forget - stress and anxiety are not the same thing - kind of like thunder and lightening not being the same thing. It is possible to feel stress without feeling anxious. But, when anxiety flares up, stress is always waiting in the wings. We know that anxiety is a fear-based emotion. Genetics gone awry is to blame. Getting relief from stress is often easier than getting relief from anxiety. Stress can be managed to some extent, but anxiety is innate. We are born with it. Not great news I'm afraid, but there are therapies that can help overly-anxious people find relief. Medication is often the treatment of choice.

Anxiety and stress therapy provides a calm, supportive space to understand your triggers and how your mind and body respond. Clients learn practical tools to manage racing thoughts, reduce physical tension, and regain a sense of control. Therapy helps build resilience, improve boundaries, and shift unhelpful patterns that keep anxiety going. Over time, it supports greater confidence, emotional balance, and the ability to navigate daily life with more ease and clarity.
