Anxiety can feel overwhelming and there is often a tendency to avoid situations that a person feels will cause further or increased anxiety. Interestingly, when a person is able to address or move toward what causes them anxiety, they move toward the answer to the feelings or sensations they are experiencing. The answers lie in approaching what cause us anxiety rather than avoiding. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy gently assists a person in learning to approach what causes anxiety and find the answers to overcome the feelings of being overwhelmed.

Anxiety and stress happen when you are faced with a problem in which your tried and true coping mechanisms don't work. Remember, even positive things can lead to stress because it requires you to change and adapt to the situation. I offer counseling tailored to your needs that will help you identify your stressors and learn how to overcome them. You can not avoid stress but you can ensure that you deal with it effectively and quickly.
