Clients presenting for relief from anxiety and stress may achieve their goals via cognitive-behavioral therapy, or CBT. Lowering anxiety often entails replacing irrational thinking and feeling with better thoughts and beneficial feelings- and consequently, different behaviors become possible that are beneficial for change. Clients can achieve mental discipline and more control over their feelings than they typically believe is possible when they first come in for counseling. Emotional intelligence is a goal that can be achieved by understanding what self differentiation means and how it is a valuable part of the family systems theory approach that I use with clients.

I provide practical tools to regain control over overwhelming thoughts and emotions.

Anxiety is supposed to be an ally. It is a primal emotional experience that is supposed to help you avoid danger. It forecasts a potential future, but in the modern world, that future may not exist. The dirty trick of anxiety is often the worrying about worrying about worrying about worrying about worry. Stopping the cycle through increased understanding of the biological systems involved in anxiety and learning how to change the bodies reactions begins the process of turning anxiety back into an ally instead of an enemy you have to fight.

As a pastor, I've seen firsthand the impact that anxiety and stress can have on individuals and families. Thankfully, the Bible provides wisdom and guidance on how to manage these difficult emotions. One of my favorite verses on this topic is Philippians 4:6, which reminds us not to be anxious about anything but to present our requests to God with thanksgiving. As your pastor and counselor, I can help you apply this biblical wisdom to your life and work with you to develop practical ways to manage stress and anxiety. Don't let these emotions control you any longer – let's work together to find peace and calm in the midst of life's challenges.
