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.

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 feels differently for everyone, but some common symptoms are: • feeling tense, nervous or unable to relax • having a sense of dread, or fearing the worst • feeling like the world is speeding up or slowing down • feeling like other people can see you're anxious and are looking at you • feeling like you can't stop worrying, or that bad things will happen if you stop worrying • worrying about anxiety itself, for example worrying about when panic attacks might happen .• rumination – thinking a lot about bad experiences, or thinking over a situation again and again You do not need to suffer alone, I am here to support you.

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.

Anxiety & Stress are all too abundant in our daily lives. We never want more and frequently we want far less! On the other hand, in the right amount, these two elements are essential ingredients to creating and sustaining lives worth living. I work with you to identify and reduce or eliminate key sources of stress and anxiety, while helping you to strike a better balance in your life.

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.

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.
