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.

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.

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.

Anxiety appears to possess a life of its own. The fear of experiencing anxiety further begets anxiety, often culminating in panic. What's the appropriate course of action when confronted with anxiety, stress, and panic? It seems that every attempt makes it worse. Anxiety, stress, and panic attacks seem to happen for no apparent reason, accompanied by an urgent need to "do something" to stop them. I work alongside clients to understand the reason. I guide clients to understand their lives, uncover anxiety's roots, and create a safe space while equipping them with valuable coping skills.

Life can be stressful but how we handle and respond to that stress is what makes the difference. I will begin by completing a thorough assessment to find the underlying causes for your stress and/or anxiety. A very important distinction it that often individuals are stressing themselves. They may blame a situation or another person but whether to be stressed or not is a choice. We will focus on looking at the source of stress in a different way---to put you in the driver's seat through a series of decisions. For example, can you get away from the stressor? Maybe you are also carrying someone else's stress. We will focus on the development of coping skills/strategies.

Anxiety and stress therapy with me is indeed a unique experience. Several assessment tools are used including an accountability chart which guides healthy life balance. Other effective forms of treatment include anxiety management, cognitive therapy and exposure therapy. With anxiety management I teach patients skills that will help them cope. Skills taught include relaxation training, breathing retraining, positive thinking, assertiveness training and thought stopping. Cognitive therapy helps clients change irrational beliefs that interfere with psychological functioning and create emotional disturbances. With Exposure therapy I encourage clients to confront stress/anxiety symptom triggers.

Using CBT, REBT, and a combination of relaxation and stress reduction techniques, I am prepared to help you decrease anxiety and achieve a greater sense of calm and equanimity. Anxiety disorders are among the most treatable mental health conditions. Anxiety and worry can often be meaningfully lessened by learning to face and feel the anxiety without engaging in avoidance behaviors and getting caught up in what's known as negative reinforcement. Anxiety is a thief of time and I value the opportunity to help you put anxiety in it's place.

Constant worrying and feeling stressed out does not have to be your normal! Anxiety tells us that we need to avoid, avoid, avoid. We think if we avoid the things we fear, then the anxiety will go away but that's actually how we inadvertently make our anxiety worse. Through CBT and ERP, you will learn the tools to face your anxiety and increase your tolerance for the feelings that come along with it. By facing your anxiety, you can make choices that lead to doing the things you love most. In therapy, you'll also learn coping skills and be able to express your worries in a supportive space.

Anxiety and stress can make you feel completely out of control in your life. I specialize specifically in treating anxiety and stress related disorders. I have devoted much of my academic career towards identifying the best treatment methods for anxiety. I offer patients that pursue treatment for anxiety with me, personalized comprehensive programs targeted towards providing relief of anxiety symptoms as quickly as possible.

Anxiety and stress can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to face them alone. My approach to treatment is holistic and empowering, blending evidence-based techniques with personalized care to help you regain control and peace of mind. Together, we’ll identify triggers, develop practical strategies for managing stress, and uncover the underlying causes of your anxiety. In our work, you’ll build resilience, improve emotional balance, and learn tools to navigate life’s challenges with confidence and calm.

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.
