I begin by understanding how you experience anxiety/stress because how you experience them is unique for you. Then we begin to increase your tolerance for how you experience anxious/stressful thoughts, feelings, memories, and/or situations. This is necessary so the anxiety/stress stops being an overwhelming experience that interferes and gets in the way of your life. It's crucial to be able to become more comfortable when you experience anxiety/stress because they're a part life. The problem is the distressing and limiting to debilitating effect they have on you. As you learn to be able to do this, you will begin to experience more peacefulness, calm, hope, self-confidence and self-esteem.

Anxiety and stress are the symptoms I treat most often in my practice. Some people are not aware, but trauma is deep-rooted anxiety that is held within our body. We can feel anxious about work, children, relationships, or family. We can feel stressed about work or relationships and friendships. A highly effective tool for treating these symptoms is mindfulness. Mindfulness is a way that you can learn to relax the anxiety that is held within your body and your mind. I love this technique because it is not only highly effective, but it is very easy to learn. You can walk away from your first therapy session with a start to your mindfulness journey and have real tools at your disposal.

Stress and anxiety can go undetected and can cause major health problems. Conversely, some health problems can cause stress and anxiety. After ruling out a medical problem through a physical examination from your MD, a person experiencing anxiety and stress should seek help from a Psychologist. A licensed counselor can help a person to learn about the signs of stress within the body, discover ways to manage stress and anxiety, and effectively use stress to motivate a person and promote healthy change.

With this approach I help clients connect their thoughts and feelings with their behaviors to identify ways to change their actions into a positive and productive results. I also teach mindfulness and how to be present in the moment.
