Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in Scottsdale, AZ.

Anxiety and Stress are a part of every person's daily life, however for some of us, anxiety and stress can overwhelm our central nervous system. This tidal wave of intense emotions can cause numerous problems both emotional and physical, for example: panic attacks, headaches/migraines, body pain, insomnia, etc... As a Therapist I assist clients in learning how to manage their anxiety and stress more effectively through weekly counseling, reading, journal writing, exercise, nutrition and various coping strategies.

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. I truly empathize with your emotional state(s) and can assist in improving your overall quality of life. How might this look? First, when you and I meet, you get support and time to just chat. This in itself can begin to lessen one’s stress. Together we can locate exactly what is making you anxious, and why. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I provide anxiety counseling in Gilbert, AZ. While we all experience some level of anxiety and stress, there is certainly a point when the feelings of anxiety and stress becomes suffocating and overwhelming. When worries keep you up late at night and you feel as though you can’t escape your thoughts and feelings of dread throughout the day, this can lead to misery and desperation. 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.

Life is challenging and with it comes anxiety and stress. Anxiety and stress can manifest in many ways but the result is that if left unattended it can lead to an unhappy and unproductive life. In working with these two issues I help clients identify how stress and anxiety affects them and educate them on what happens to their nervous system when their anxiety is activated. I help clients to identify unhealthy ways of thinking, provide tools to help them better manage their symptoms and help them to create healthier boundaries so they can live fuller lives.

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. I also help them identify the root causes of their stress and anxiety, and use research-proven EMDR therapy to systematically target them. The results are measurable, evidenced by deeper calm and clarity of mind.

We all reach a point in our lives where the stress becomes overwhelming and we need support and coping skills to manage it all. My approach focuses on building your own strength and empower you to make choices in your life that lead you towards mindfulness, a healthy lifestyle (mind/body/spirit), and self compassion. In my experience, this greatly impacts ones reduction of anxiety and stress.
