Lao Tzu said, "If you're anxious, it's because you're living in the future. If you're at peace, it's because you're living in the present." Often anxiety looks like leaving the present moment and projecting into the future, trying to think 10 steps ahead about things that haven't happened yet. This future thinking leads to stress in the present. I teach clients how to tune into their emotions (including anxiety), their bodies (as an anchor to the present moment) and move through anxiety as it arises using their breath. Anxiety and stress don't have to run your life. I'm here to support you in regulating your anxiety and stress by staying with yourself in the present moment.

How much is your anxiety costing you? Individuals who suffer from anxiety and chronic stress are less productive at work and are more likely to call in sick. They are 3-5 times more likely to go to the doctor as anxiety often feels like physical illness. Their relationships with family and friends suffer or are sometimes cut off completely. Counseling is the single most effective treatment for anxiety and stress, and the benefits begin immediately. Call today to get started: (970) 227-2770.

Living with anxiety and panic attacks can be extremely painful and effect every area in a persons life. Every day can be a private battle living with anxiety.

Counseling for anxiety and panic attacks explores how anxiety shows up in your life, the roots, and discovering strategies for learning how to live a meaningful life.

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.
