Life events make everyone prone to anxiety and stress. The fact is everyone will experience multiple stressful events in their lifetime.

The manner in which each person deals with these events will determine their survivability and overall functioning.

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.

As life gets busier and busier, it is almost inevitable to fall under the trap of anxiety and stress. Knowing how to manage them is crucial for anyone's life functioning because they can easily build up to feeling overwhelmed which can lead to even more mental health challenges. Creating work-life-family balance is a necessity. Also Integrating mindfulness, cognitive, and behavioral techniques can help alleviate symptoms.

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.
