Anxiety and stress are two of the most common plagues of our society. They are also two of the most fixable. I've seen clients overcome amazing obstacles about specific anxiety (i.e., flying or dealing with certain family members) as well as the everyday stress that seems inescapable these days. We can't always change the circumstances, but I can give you lots of tools to change how you respond to them and to take back control.

Almost ever type of mental ill-health is associated with chronic mental stress and most people believe that their stress is caused by their circumstances and how other people treat them. I assist people to realize the truth about stress; that all stress is caused by people's INNOCENT misunderstanding and misuse of the power of Thought. My clients who realize this tell me it is the best realization they ever had.

The pressures of modern life in stressful times or situations can lower a shadow of despair over anyone's sense of well-being. These may manifest as problems with anxiety, depression, substance abuse, and/or the inability to maintain positive connections in personal relationships. My goal in therapy is to simply be present with my client in a very real way that assists them as they learn to access their own inner resources and reclaim meaningful equilibrium in their lives.

Everyone has feelings of anxiety and stress at some point in their life... But when those feelings of anxiety become excessive and interfere with your ability to function in daily life at work, school and in relationships, you may need to get help for it! According to the National Institute of Mental Health, anxiety disorders affect 40 million Americans a year. Don't be a victim, be a survivor of anxiety!

The Society in which we live - work, families and relationships produce anxiety and stress in large doses. Thus, I am seeing clients identifying anxiety and stress as symptoms that plague their daily lives. Helping clients to be grounded in their faith and relationships is significant. Sometimes, people are so busy running busy schedules, they fail to take care of themselves. One can't always be giving without rebuilding oneself by doing things which make life feel good to her/him. It is always good to slow down and appreciate life as well as focusing on what is good in one's life rather than focusing on what isn't working. Teaching clients to take care of themselves is significant.

Anxiety and stress can be approached from two directions. One is aimed at symptom reduction - in other words, decreasing the feelings of anxiety and stress. The other direction, which can be employed at the same time, helps the client to understand the underlying causes of anxiety and factors that create feelings of stress. We work to reduce stressful situations, and also on how to handle the inevitable stress and anxiety that life brings.

The last couple of years have been really tough on all of us and we have all really felt the effect of stress and anxiety! But the good news is that there are some fairly easy things that you can implement in your life to greatly improve your ability to cope with stress! Counseling can help you with your stress and anxiety by providing a place to be really heard in a judgment-free environment, and then helping you to master the skills that will help you cope better with your daily life. CBT has been proven to be especially helpful for anxiety and so I tend to use it a lot. You likely will be able to see a difference in your life right away.

It is popular in modern society to view anxiety as a "chemical imbalance in the brain." This is rarely the case. Instead, anxiety is typically the result of unaddressed and/or unresolved stressors in one's life and/or one's sense of self. I work extensively with people to address these stressors. Most often they find the outcome is very much a success.

Anxiety and Stress are two of my top areas for helping clients. Over the years working in this field, I have picked up many tools and tips to help my clients move from anxious to "Normal" in a fairly short period of time. Many of my clients wonder why they didn't come in years ago and what their lives would have been like without all of these intrusions. One of my tools called EMDR is able to knock out most anxiety producing issues very quickly. Some call it a miracle. Come see for yourself!!!

Clients move from “patterns of limited thinking” to developing alternative balanced thoughts and learn how to stop their anxiety by identifying and altering the thoughts accompanying the anxiety. We teach thought stopping, worry control, and coping with panic. Clients address their symptoms in four areas of physical reactions, thoughts, behaviors and moods. assign exercises from various workbooks with a focus on clients ability to identify and challenge “automatic thoughts” and “hot thoughts.” Utilizing the premise that emotions, thoughts, and behaviors are interconnected clients practice the skills of mindfulness and distress tolerance for managing their emotions.

Anxiety and stress are some of the most common concerns that clients bring to me in session.
