Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in Freeburg, IL.

Anxiety and stress are a very normal part of life but sometimes life's changes can cause anxiety to become bigger than you can handle. The good news is anxiety is very treatable! I utilize a series of exercises and activities that help my clients understand the anxiety and then control the anxiety. It takes a combination of coping skills to find the peacefulness of life without anxiety, but whether you are a child or adult it is possible to live without it!

Anxiety can go by many names - fear, shyness, worry, etc. It can be a functional part of life when it is managed, but when it is not, it can be detrimental to your sense of security. We explore what may be feeding you anxiety and try to help you break unhealthy associations. In doing so, we promote self-confidence, self-compassion, and resilience. Oftentimes and over time, it is a surprise to see how much you have overcome.

In my psychotherapy practice, I offer a compassionate and supportive environment for addressing anxiety and stress. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral techniques, mindfulness, and personalized strategies to help patients manage symptoms effectively. Through our work together, patients gain tools to reduce anxiety, enhance coping skills, and improve overall well-being. The benefits of my anxiety and stress treatment include increased resilience, better emotional regulation, and a more balanced, fulfilling life.
