Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in Arlington, MN.

Stress and anxiety are part of everyday life but when they get overwhelming and they affect daily functioning a therapist can help you manage it. Therapy for anxiety can be very helpful to indentify what thoughts are adding to your anxiety and to teach you how to think differently to calm yourself down. Counseling can help you to identify which life events planted the seeds of panic or anxiety in you.

As a high-achieving man, anxiety and stress comes with the territory. And you wouldn’t be where you are today in life unless you’ve handled it pretty well until now. But most successful men find that anxiety eventually impacts them. Whether it’s slowly been eating at you for years, or you’ve just experienced your first panic attack, you’re not going crazy. There are solutions, and this can get better. I help men learn practical stress-management techniques, but I don’t stop there. I also help them identify the root causes of their stress and anxiety, and use research-proven EMDR therapy to systematically target them. The results are measurable, evidenced by deeper calm and clarity of mind.

Are you a hard-working guy being crushed by stress? Stress, anxiety, burnout, and addiction are all predictable outcomes when stress gets too high. In my experience, men are often misunderstood and under-appreciated... even by their own wives and children. The good news is that you don’t have to slowly suffer and fade off into the sunset. You were created for more than this, and even strong men need support from time to time. You’ve shown your grit through the ups and downs of life. You’ve already been through a lot. But getting professional help shows a different kind of toughness, and if right now you’re buckling under the weight of life, it’s time to take the next step. I’m here to help.

Anxiety can be paralyzing! Feeling stressed, irritable, overwhelmed, confused and in a panic can be very draining and disabling to your life. While we work together, we can come to learn about these feelings and situations that bring rise to the anxiety. I am a psychologist trained to treat anxiety and stress to assist you in new coping skills. Reaching out for professional help can begin the process so you do not have to feel so helpless and alone. Feel free to call to set up a time for therapy for yourself. Life does not have to always be stressful.

The impact of anxiety & stress on a person's life can often tumble into a form of numb debilitation! But staying stuck here does not have to be the answer of the rest of your life. I work with my clients to understand the reasons for the anxiety & stress and we work toward building healthy coping skills that can help to reduce, and manage, the overall impact of these symptoms.

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.

You will learn coping techniques and problem solving skills to regain a sense of pleasure and control over your life. Together we can move forward toward the life you desire.

I use a mindfulness-based approach as well as nutrition to help clients increase self-care and learn to cope with stress and anxiety. There are some supplements and herbs that my clients have found to be helpful for calming stress. I teach mindfulness skills that include breathwork, tapping, gratitude and meditation to improve a sense of being grounded and centered.
