Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in Holly, MI.

I specialize in Anxiety and Stress treatment. My approach is to not just help you manage your anxiety but to overcome the anxiety. By integrating cognitive behavioral and psychodynamic approaches you will resolve feelings and experiences that contribute to the anxiety and correct negative and distorted thinking. If you are someone who tends to overdo for others or if you are a people pleaser I will help you learn to set boundaries and implement assertiveness techniques. These can be very helpful in reducing anxiety. You can worry less and feel more confident.

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.

I am a psychotherapist who understands life can feel like a daily struggle. No one should have to endure these feelings alone. As a professional counselor, I compassionately listen and support clients as well as offer a therapeutic relationship that provides clients the opportunity to emotionally move forward and bring a healthy balance back into their lives. It is possible to heal, gain a sense of well-being, restore hope, and rekindle happiness even during the most challenging times. Clients that experience less stress/anxiety often feel more relaxed, increased energy, less stressed, motivated, experience satisfaction in relationships, and have an easier time coping with difficulties.

I believe that when a person has an overestimation of threat, combined with an underestimation of their ability to cope, an anxious response develops. Recognizing that anxiety will never fully disappear, I work with the client to live alongside their anxiety by learning to understand it. I help with strategies and techniques that will help the client make meaning of their stress-response and understand and challenge their internal dialogue.

Anxiety disorders are the most common mental health issue, affecting over 25 million Americans. Everyone gets nervous or anxious from time to time, but anxiety disorders are different. These disorders are accompanied by chronic anxiety brought on by certain situations that cannot be controlled. Anxiety disorder does not have to be permanent. Therapy can help to lessen or even eliminate anxiety from your life. Discussing the problem or event and gaining a better understanding of it can help to limit the anxiety associated with it. If anxiety is affecting your everyday life, call me to find out how I can assist you.

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.

My approach to treatment for anxiety and stress is a combination of talk therapy, journaling, and cognitive/behavioral therapy. I work collaboratively with you to develop a treatment plan that makes sense and is accessible for who you are. Sometimes, even the thought of therapy can cause anxiety and/or stress. My goal is to minimize this anxiety and stress so that you can be most productive in reaching your goals to improve the overall quality of your life. Together, we will build on your strengths so that you feel empowered on your healing journey.

Anxiety and stress therapy can help you to uncover your underlying concerns, fears, and needs, and develop coping mechanisms to begin managing your symptoms.
