We hold our anxiety and stress in our body. We feel tension, gut problems, hot flashes, disrupted sleep and more.

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.

Jennifer encourages clients suffering from anxiety and/or stress to do an evaluation of the factors in their life that is causing the stress or anxiety.

I use a variety approaches to work with anxiety and stress ranging from Mindfulness practices to EMDR to Emotional Freedom Technique to journaling to a gratitude practice. I have very good results with my clients because a part of my approach is to help them to accept the reality of anxiety and stress in their lives and then we undergo an investigation to look at their reactions and then develop a new, more functional plan that absolutely eliminates becoming angry at the self for feeling anxious or fearful, this only serves to create more anxiety and potentially depression.

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.

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.

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.

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!
