Anxiety and stress is part of the human experience. In fact, anxiety is a natural operational response in our brain to keep us safe and secure over our lifespan. However, sometimes our brains don't stop trying to keep us safe from phobias/fears and intense discomfort of uncertainty. This can result in unwanted distress and anxiety that can take over our lives and hold us back from our goals or enjoying life. I use approaches to help you through your experience of anxiety.

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.
