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.

When a person is feeling anxious or stressed, a natural, internal, drive to seek out safety, emotionally and/or physically, is triggered. This is often referred to as the "fight or flight" response. In this state of distress, people tend to react emotionally versus respond thoughtfully; sometimes with good outcomes, but many times with bad. In the horse world, we call this "run first, ask questions later". My goal in working with anxiety and stress is to help people become "first responders", not "first reactors". In slowing down the instinctive drive of "fight or flight" using a variety of self-regulation tools, along with trigger recognition, mindful outcomes can be achieved.

I use a multifaceted approach that addresses the root causes of distress while equipping clients with practical coping skills. Through evidence-based techniques, clients gain insight into their triggers, explore the root causes of their anxiety and stress, and learn effective strategies to manage their symptoms. I encourage curiosity and foster a supportive and non-judgmental therapeutic environment. Clients feel empowered to explore and challenge negative thought patterns and behaviors. Ultimately, this collaborative process enables clients to cultivate resilience, regain a sense of control, and experience greater overall well-being.

Everyone experiences anxiety at some point, but for some the anxiety is so frequent or intense that it interferes with their lives or even triggers panic attacks. I use Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help my clients get a sense of control over their own anxiety. We collaborate to learn skills to reduce the frequency or intensity of the anxious feelings, to tolerate the anxiety when it does occur so they can still function through it, and to practice habits that reduce stress and improve general mental health.

Do people ever say to you, “Just calm down”, “Get a grip on yourself”, “You’re stressing me out!” Well, it probably means you really are stressing out too much! Stress is a normal part of life.

If you are overwhelmed with stress, it’s important to know stress CAN be managed.
