Stress and anxiety are a natural result of the increasing complexity of the world and our individual lives. Many have stressful high high-demand jobs that leave us exhausted at the end of the day. We're also inundated with constant media stimulation that offers a distraction but contributes to overstimulation, burnout, and overwhelm. This chronic stress often leads to depressive episodes. I help clients learn how to manage their stress and anxiety better and reduce overwhelm. We'll work on reducing chronic worry and mental distress while improving overall wellness. You'll learn how anxiety affects the body and what makes anxiety worse. We'll focus on finding practical solutions to reduce distress

Similar in approach to the treatment of depression, I take a holistic approach to the treatment of anxiety and stress disorders. I seek to restore function and break the momentum cause by ineffective habits that were created as a knee-jerk way of responding to anxiety symptoms. The instinct to try to control our emotional experience is strong and understandable, but often creates difficulties that make anxiety symptoms more entrenched and difficult to treat. Learning techniques of relaxation and mindfulness are instrumental in the effective treatment of anxiety symptoms and regaining the kind of balance lost in the unrestrained experience of anxiety symptoms.
