As a high-achieving man, anxiety and stress comes with the territory. And you wouldn’t be where you are today in life unless you’ve handled it pretty well until now. But most successful men find that anxiety eventually impacts them. Whether it’s slowly been eating at you for years, or you’ve just experienced your first panic attack, you’re not going crazy. There are solutions, and this can get better. I help men learn practical stress-management techniques, but I don’t stop there.

Are you nervous a lot of the time? Isn’t it uncomfortable? And it doesn’t help to just be told to ‘calm down’. I am a highly trained clinical psychologist with years of both academic and clinical experience.

And then you and I create ways of decreasing your nervousness, and increasing your comfort level! Life can start to feel better when one’s anxiety is properly attended to.

Are you a hard-working guy being crushed by stress? Stress, anxiety, burnout, and addiction are all predictable outcomes when stress gets too high. In my experience, men are often misunderstood and under-appreciated... even by their own wives and children. The good news is that you don’t have to slowly suffer and fade off into the sunset. You were created for more than this, and even strong men need support from time to time. You’ve shown your grit through the ups and downs of life. You’ve already been through a lot. But getting professional help shows a different kind of toughness, and if right now you’re buckling under the weight of life, it’s time to take the next step. I’m here to help.

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.

According to Dr. Robert Scaer, we have three choices when we face difficult situations: we can fight, run or freeze the emotions involved. Many times, people do not have the option to change things or get away- so they stuff the feelings. These feelings can "come out" as anxiety, depression, control of others, medicating and or physical illness. I am excited to treat anxiety and stess with newer mindfulness techniques. More than just relaxing, Brainspotting actually bleeds off the pent-up physical expression of emotional distress which then allows for re-setting how safe, loved and valued we can feel in our experience today.

Similar to my approach that I take with depression, I draw from a variety of therapies. I typically utilize techniques tied to Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, when working with anxiety and stress management. I always consider context reflective of one's environment, along with their personal and familial background. From there, it can be beneficial to explore the relationship between the person and their understanding of "anxiety/stress" in general. Additionally, exploring the relationship between the person and the "dysfunction" they feel as a result of "anxiety/stress"," makes space for healing.

My approach to anxiety counseling is help you figure out what is leading to these thoughts and worries, and work to process through situations that may be at the root of your anxiety, as well as provide you with the tools and resources to manage the symptoms more effectively.
