Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in Seattle, WA.

My approach to working with anxiety is a holistic one. I can strategize with you once we’ve established a working relationship. I draw from a mix of behavioral strategies as well as somatic ones to provide relief. I make sure to tailor treatment to each person. Longer-term solutions for anxiety often involve a mix of trauma processing, medication (sometimes), and an agency for change.

Anxiety and stress can be paralyzing forces in your life, preventing you from enjoying the important people and moments in your life. Cognitive behavioral therapy is very effective in helping my client to examine the thoughts, fears and assumptions that are driving their anxieties and to replace them with healthier ways of viewing and experiencing the world.

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.
