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 some of the most common concerns that clients bring to me in session.

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.

Anxiety can be paralyzing for some people. It is important to find a therapist that has experience with anxiety and has used empirically based treatments that are effective. A form of CBT which is exposure therapy may help reduce fears from anxiety response. Dialectical Behavior Therapy is another form of CBT which has shown its effectiveness in treating this disorder. Some common factors of anxiety include frequent fatigue, avoidance of anxiety provoking stimulus, restlessness, irritbaility, difficulty focusing and concentration, sleep problems and muscle tension. Children may also experience anxiety and it may be portrayed differently than adults.

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.

At Family Counseling we help patients achieve freedom from anxiety (phobias, fear of flying, panic and agoraphobia) may be facilitated by encouraging the examination of unsettled and profoundly ingrained conflicts, often of an unconscious nature that are often displace onto “safer” objects or sitatuations, by questioning the veracity and effectiveness of cognitive distortions that emanate from these conflicts, and by empowering the person to modify behaviors that perpetuate the disorders. We also use EMDR as a powerful tool to reprocess memories and experiences that can be attached to disturbing feelings and negative and limiting views of self and others.

Do you suffer from anxiety, panic or stress? Some of your symptoms might be emotional: depressed, weepy or edgy and short tempered. Physical: neck pain,shoulder, back, TMJ, constant headaches or stomach aches. What about Behavioral Symptoms; over eating, drinking, shopping, doing drugs, gambling or video addiction? Cognitions ( thoughts); feeling overwhelmed, confused, not able to make decisions, no mind clarity, lost and helpless at times.We will help you learn to stop worrying and deal with your stressors in a healthy way so you can start living again.

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.

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.
