Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in Horse Shoe, NC.

If you’re not stressed, you’re probably dead! Our world today seems to thrive on it; we work too much, don’t rest enough, eat poorly, and can’t find time to exercise. When we have free time, we often find ourselves staring at a little screen filled with “friends” whose lives seem perfect. This “normal” life causes us physical and emotional distress; add in a propensity for anxiety and chances are you feel really horrible sometimes! Whether you’re simply overwhelmed by life’s responsibilities or are struggling with severe anxiety, panic, and phobias, we can help!

Anxiety can take away your personal power at the most important moments and start to have too much control over your behavior. Over time, chronic stress can break down a healthy view of yourself. Starting from our first session, I will support your understanding of anxiety, its biological effects, and its impact on your relationships. I will support you to build on developing insight and develop habits that support anxiety and stress reduction. At the end of therapy, you will have a clear plan for sustained control over anxiety and chronic stress. I'm reachable through phone for a free 20-minute consultation to further discuss your needs and answer any questions about my therapy approach.

Managing anxiety and stress has become one of the greatest challenges of modern life. And it doesn't require a major event of difficulty to have anxiety or stress impact your life. While we have more choice than ever before, this also means we face more daily decisions than any time in human history. We have over 4,000 attempts to get our attention every day (mostly advertising.) We are exposed to more information than we can possibly digest. Technology of the past 20 years has gradually increased our daily exposure to stress. Counseling can help you to reclaim your life and health. It's becoming essential to take charge of how you'll limit and manage stresses of modern life.

I help clients reduce anxiety, stress and trauma by using EMDR and rapid resolution therapy both of these relax the nervous system and decrease what has been creating the stress and anxiety. I end each session with Hypnotherapy/mindfulness which is very soothing and teaches their nervous system to relax more and more. I also teach clients skills to practice at home

I work with many clients who feel anxiety and stress are getting in their way. We work together on several different levels to alleviate sypmtoms and understand their sources. the first step is to gain control by learning to breathe. Next is to identify where angst is stored in the body and to learn to release it. Finally, we go into depth to identify sources of the stress and to let go of old beliefs and feelings that contribute to a state of anxiety. We also go over the client's liefstyle to see what may need to be modified so that he or she feels more in control and at ease.
