Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in Huntington Woods, MI.

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.

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 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!!!

Anxiety and stress are some of the most common concerns that clients bring to me in session. The constant worry of how to get everything done, while navigating a pandemic, in an ever-changing world can seem overwhelming at times. You are not alone. Whether you are looking for help with your daily challenges or feel like stress and anxiety are impacting your relationships, I can help. I look forward to working with you on ways to calm your mind and experience the peace you are looking for.

While most treatment approaches for anxiety and stress are effective on the surface, they dont treat the real problem. Mantras, deep breathing, and rational dialogues about your fear being irrational rarely work---for most people dont 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.

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.

Stress is not good for our body, our mind, our spirits. We know from the medical field that many diseases are complications of stress. If you feel overwhelmed, have difficulties with sleeping or concentration, panicky, fearful, tense, and like you can’t ever “let go,” you are probably suffering from anxiety. Psychotherapy can help you learn to identify stress triggers, cope with stress more effectively, and calm your nervous system. “Calming our nervous system” is the main tool people for living happy and productive lives. Don’t delay getting help for yourself, every additional week or year that you live with unnecessary stress may be limiting your lifespan!

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 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.

Overwhelmed? Constantly worrying? You don't have to handle it alone. We can discuss ways to calm the wave of worry and search the darkness of being overwhelmed.

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 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.

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...
