Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in Bryn Mawr Skyway, WA.

Some people describe themselves as 'born worriers', 'always anxious or afraid', 'hypersensitive since I can remember.' Others may have gone through something that is creating anxiety and stress at levels they've never experienced before. Either way, with a therapist at Bluestone, you will find ways to interrupt your patterns of thinking and behaving that contribute to your anxiety, worry or stress. Once you can interrupt these patterns, you will have the opportunity to calm your body, shift your thinking and choose courses of action that benefit you, your relationships and your life.

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.

Stress is such a part of the fabric of life and I will help you learn how to manage your stress effectively, learn how to relax and learn to become more resilient. Life coaching with me can focus on helping you achieve a healthy work-life balance. Anxiety can take different forms. If you are living as a prisioner of anxiety, I will help you get free and feel a sense of healthy control over your life. I will help you learn healthy coping skills instead of turning to maladaptive coping mechanisms. I can help you feel empowered because you will be able to manage your feelings, body, thoughts and actions.
