Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in Woodstock, CT.

Counseling for anxiety and stress can help you bring relief to your distress, and bring greater awareness, understanding, and compassion for the different parts of you in these season of your life. I would love to help you through this journey by utilizing a blend of my experience in emotionally focused individual therapy and internal family systems to build a secure attachment within yourself that can support you through some of your most anxious moments.

Life events make everyone prone to anxiety and stress. The fact is everyone will experience multiple stressful events in their lifetime. Such events include stressful work environment, financial loss, illness, death, relationship loss. The manner in which each person deals with these events will determine their survivability and overall functioning. When you understand that life events are like a valley with periods of high and lows (peak and trough), the quicker you will seek to get out from the bottom of the valley and make your way to the top.

I help couples identify the triggers to their anxiety and develop a system to deal with stress before it deals with them! What would your life be like as a couple if you weren't continually activated in negative ways by stress? We will work together to make small steps toward change. Clients report less chronic pain when they are managing anxiety in healthy ways. It is possible to reduce anxiety and live life in a more vivid way, even if you situation is not optimal. I can teach you both to acknowledge and release these negative thoughts, thus releasing the "trauma" that has built up in your body (stored stress and anxiety)

I assist adults in understanding causes of their current anxiety and identify the triggers that lead them to an anxious state. Teaching you how to mitigate your anxiety through positive strategies, breathing techniques, and nutritional and physical exercises, has been a primary focus of my 30+ years of clinical practice. I assist children/adolescents in helping them to build the courage to approach what they would rather avoid, minimizing their fear and maximizing their ongoing capacity to take risks throughout their lives. Early intervention is key in minimizing the impact of anxiety throughout a lifetime.

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.
