Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in Winter Garden, FL.

For nearly twenty years the majority of my practice has been based in caring for people experiencing anxiety and stress in highly demanding settings. As a therapist, I continuously strive to grow in my knowledge and skills to offer stress and anxiety reduction while also providing clients with the tools, resources, and skills to mitigate and manage stress well as it comes. I incorporate mindfulness into my approach while being intentional in getting to the core issues related to a person's symptomology.

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.

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.

Are stressors at work, anxiety in your personal life, panic attacks or phobias getting in your way? This does not have to continue, and there are options available other than medication. Depending on your situation you could experience significant improvement in as soon as three sessions. I provide a safe and private environment for you to work through it at your own pace. I also offer counseling sessions by phone if that is your preference. Please get in touch so we can discuss your situation and determine if/how I can help.

Everyone feels anxiety at some point in their lives but when it starts to interfere with your life, counseling can help. Although anxiety can feel debilitating, it is treatable. People with anxiety don’t always share the same symptoms, they vary from person to person. Therapy will help you to reclaim your life and function in a chronically stressful world.

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.

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.

With a traumatic childhood and a career as former professional athlete, I know firsthand what it's like to experience stress and anxiety. However, I also discovered the faith, strength, and perseverance necessary to overcome and achieve breakthrough. I would be honored to learn your story and help you achieve greater peace, resiliency, and purpose.
