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.

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.

To help you combat anxiety issues, I use a combination of therapies tailored to your needs and strengths, including Cognitive- Behavioral (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Solution Focused, Adlerian, and Existential. We will work together to make the changes needed in thoughts and behaviors as you relearn new ways to cope with life. We will also take a deep dive into your lifestyle, sleep patterns, dietary habits and exercise routine. We’ll determine if we can make reasonable adjustments that will lessen your anxiety naturally and holistically.

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.

Anxiety is the most common symptom that people report when I begin my work with them. We live in a high-stress world with an overwhelming number of demands and expectations, and it is often difficult to keep up. Anxiety is like a nagging voice that won't leave us alone, always telling us that what we are doing is never enough. It robs us of our peace and creates a world of fear inside of us. I understand how paralyzing this can be. DBT provides us with a number of coping skills to help manage the anxiety and learn a healthier way to live. Mindfulness is the skill that I have found to be most effective in creating distance between us and our thoughts, and ultimately internal peace.

Anxiety can affect your life in so many ways. Anxiety can keep you from reaching out for that relationship, or attempting for a better job. Anxiety can be healthy, but when you have too much it reduces your life.

Stress is a "funny" thing in the fact that you can be under it and not be aware of bring stressed. This type of stress is very subtle and dangerous.

At Gateway we can help you manage stress since you can never eliminate it completely from your life. You don't have to face anxiety and stress alone, give us a call.

Anxiety in and of itself is not always a negative thing. What is important to consider is the severity of the anxiety and its source. For example, a little anxiety may be necessary to help a person feel better prepared for an upcoming test or exam. In that case, anxiety can serve as a reminder or a motivating factor. Anxiety can at times be severe to the point of debilitating someone and interferes with activities of daily living.

Clients will get to the root of their anxiety and stress and will find thinking patterns that contribute to that.

They will be able to deal with past trauma and find healing that will enable them to adopt new thinking patterns and behaviors.

I work with my clients to develop a treatment plan that is specific to his/her level of anxiety and stress. Working with the client and using an eclectic approach we identify the triggers of the anxiety or stress. We are then able to create a treatment plan focused on extinguishing or minimizing the anxiety or stress. Mindfulness activities, breathing exercises, art therapy, guided meditation, Buddha boards, kinetic sand trays, crystals are some of the tools I teach my clients how to use, and they are able to use these tools at home, work, or school with relative ease.

Anxiety and stress frequently signal underlying issues that require attention.

Addressing anxiety involves healing unresolved issues such as grief, trauma, negative thoughts, communication barriers, or relational challenges. At our center, we offer diverse approaches to navigate and alleviate anxiety, facilitating inner peace and balance.

I work with clients to externalize anxiety and stress; then to deconstruct their preferred view of themselves. As therapy progressed clients develop understanding regarding causes, signs and symptoms and explore techniques in managing anxiety and stress. When possible family members may be recommended to join the session to assist the client in assessing his/her stories in arriving at desired changes.

Art focuses on clients to re-encounter the positive skills they have already known and used, but that life problems made them temporarily forget. This way, clients rely on their own strengths and initiatives for their lives. Treatment will also provide opportunities to learn and apply new skills that in time will become part of the clients' lives.Tool Box for Life and Relational Skills When clients graduate from treatment, they take with them a box full of "tools", such as effective anger management techniques, avoiding confrontations that lead to negative expressions of anger, resolving conflict peacefully and quietly, making the right decisions in every aspect of life, and perseverance to alw....

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.

I use many effective approaches to preventing and aborting stress, most of which can be learned in a single session. In the most stubborn cases, hypnotherapy is almost 100 percent reliable. In the latter case, I meet once to learn everything I can about the environments and triggers of anxiety. Then we meet a second time for a 2-hour hypnotherapy session.

Therapy helps individuals identify and understand the triggers that lead to drug use or negative behaviors. By dissecting these patterns, therapy enables individuals to manage their responses to triggers more effectively. Therapy also equips individuals with practical strategies for managing stress, cravings, and other challenges associated with recovery. Skills such as mindfulness, stress management, and problem-solving are central to many therapeutic approaches, helping individuals navigate difficult situations without resorting to drugs or past behaviors.
