Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in Dallas, TX.

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.

Everyone feels anxiety at some point in their lives but when it starts to interfere with your life, counseling can help. Although anxiety can feel debilitating, it is treatable. People with anxiety don’t always share the same symptoms, they vary from person to person. Therapy will help you to reclaim your life and function in a chronically stressful world.

I practice psychotherapy specializing in working with adolescents & adults in the treatment of anxiety, anxiety disorders, and trauma.

I will show you how you make yourself anxious about the things you find threatening and challenging. Anxiety and stress are largely self-created by the beliefs we tacitly hold about adversity or potential adversity. I will show you your self-defeating beliefs and teach you how to think so you feel sensible concern and do what you can do to avoid danger and threats. I will show you how to philosophically accept what cannot be avoided and thereby minimize the stress you feel about what cannot be changed or avoided. Using the power of your own ability to think in a self-helping way I will help you to change your feelings of anxiety.

The goal of therapy is to stop the behaviors that have had devastating effects on you and those around you and to create more of what you do want in your life; healthy relationships, meaningful time with family and friends, increased productivity at work, feeling comfortable in your own skin, and sustained peace of mind. We help provide a safe environment without judgement to allow healing to begin.

One of my areas of expertise is anxiety, stress, and panic attacks. I have experienced these symptoms personally. I like to start by assisting clients to identify their sources of anxiety and stressors. I will offer coping strategies based on CBT cognitive behavioral therapy. Sometimes some simple lifestyle changes can diminish our anxiety level. Sleep is a time when our bodies restore, heal, and refresh. Adequate sleep greatly diminishes symptoms of anxiety.
