Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in Deltona, FL.

I use cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness-based approaches to anxiety. I provide psychoeducation on the neurochemical and brain structure basis for anxiety, and guidance in how to train your brain to reduce anxious thoughts and to help stay in the moment. I use relaxation and breathing techniques and other coping skills to reduce the impact and intensity of the anxiety so that clients can overcome it.

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.

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 and Stress are a part of everyday life. Often, they have a reciprocal relationship with each other. Simply put, anxiety is the discrepancy between where you want to go and where you are. I approach anxiety in a unique way. I treat anxiety as if it is the body's alarm system. In addition to helping alleviate the immediate symptoms of anxiety I will work to help you harness the energy of your anxiety. You can use that energy to help accomplish your goals.

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. I really understand anxiety and stress, and can give you the tools and self-esteem to roam freely though this world, being all that you were meant to be. Let's do this!

Different levels of fear at various times in our lives are common.

Help is available to gain a perspective and address the discouraging effects of stress that can immobilize. He will help you identify specific 'weeds in your garden' and ways to overcome them. He will help you break free from the bondage of fear and to find the courage to live life in freedom.

We hold our anxiety and stress in our body. We feel tension, gut problems, hot flashes, disrupted sleep and more. I work with anxiety and stress by helping individuals learn and develop tools to re-regulate their nervous system. When we have a coherent and fluid nervous system, we can do difficult things without feeling paralyzed by overwhelming fear.

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.

Stress is a normal part of everyone's lives, however, when left unmanaged it can become overwhelming. We help our clients to manage stress and reduce anxious symptoms by holding safe therapeutic space for them to work through difficult emotions and experiences in a supportive environment. Anxiety can be caused by many different factors and can be temporary or chronic. Processing traumatic experiences and gaining perspective into what is contributing to your symptoms can shed light on how to lessen the severity and have more good days than bad. We will utilize therapy techniques tailored to your specific needs to assist you in making progress.

As a Cognitive Behavioral Therapist for over 18 years, my main area of expertise is treating anxiety disorders, including Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, panic and phobias. I understand the crippling effects anxiety can have, ultimately making someone a prisoner inside their own head. Based on research demonstrating its efficacy, I utilize a form of treatment known as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, aimed at challenging irrational thoughts and behavior, ultimately teaching clients to confront their fears and begin to live a life not controlled by anxiety and panic.
