Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in Lakeside, FL.

I focus on CBT and Behavioral interventions. Anxiety is a vicious cycle of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors maintaining and creating symptoms. These symptoms are not all 'in your head.' Many anxiety symptoms are physical (heart rate changes, breathing, headaches, sleep disturbance). I guide clients to overcome the thoughts and behaviors creating and maintaining their personal cycle of anxiety.

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 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.

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.

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 work extensively with clients suffering from anxiety - based symptoms, such as generalized anxiety, panic disorder, social anxiety, and obsessive-compulsive symptoms. Individuals dealing with anxiety symptoms often do not realize how prevalent anxiety is in other people, and they tend to overestimate danger and threat in the world, while under-estimating their ability to effectively cope with it. Anxious people tend to " live in the future", often making "what if" statements about various negative future events that will likely never even occur. There are many stress management skills, including breathing techniques, visualization, thought stopping, and changing negative thoughts.

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.

When we are struggling emotionally, we know that it impacts our day to day functioning. What starts with fear often leads to worry. Worry leads to anxiety and anxiety can lead to stress. What starts out as some degree of fear only grows in intensity until we are experiencing the physical symptoms of stress in our body; headaches, irritable bowel syndrome, muscle tension, tight jaw, griffin teeth, TMJ, lower back pain and more. In therapy, we process these distressful feelings and explore what healthy rhythms might facilitate the change we desire.

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.
