Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in Berkley, MA.

My approach to treating anxiety and stress involves using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) to help clients manage their symptoms and improve their quality of life. I teach clients to identify and challenge negative thought patterns, practice mindfulness techniques, and develop healthy coping strategies. By providing a supportive and empathetic environment, I aim to help clients reduce their anxiety and stress levels, enhance their emotional resilience, and achieve greater overall well-being.

I believe anxiety and stress are for a large part the disconnection of the individual from their body and emotions, while they live a life in their head with minds spinning. Reconnecting a client to their bodies through mindfulness practices is one method I use to help with these stressors. This can also include building aspects of clients' physical activity such as exercise and creative expression. I also believe in integrating cognitive therapy to help shift unhelpful anxious thoughts about past and future which I consider to be the source of misery for many.

People who experience exaggerated worry and tension, often expect the worst, even when there is no apparent reason for concern. In small amounts, these feelings are normal. Not everyone experiences symptoms in the same way. Many people feel symptoms in their body: (pain in your abdomen, headaches, muscle pain & tightness) You may have a harder time focusing, feel tired most of the time, experience irritability and sexual problems. Stress & Anxiety can also cause problems falling & staying asleep & nightmares. I have a broad range of effective strategies & techniques available to help you reduce and manage stress & anxiety, quiet your mind, calm your body, and improve your overall well being.

Anxiety issues and how they affect our lives are my main focus. How we eat and how much, how well we sleep, the way communicate to friends, family and loved ones and how we perceive and engage in daily challenges affect our anxiety levels which in turn contributes to more or less anxiety. I bring over 15 years of expereince working with patients in various forms of partnership, utilizing a unique blend of behavioral, health education and therapuetic approaches with positive results in a majority of those I work with.

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.

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.
