I specialize in treating anxiety and help my clients to effectively manage their anxiety and stress by teaching them techniques and skills to reduce and eliminate their unpleasant symptoms. I also treat panic disorders, and those who suffer from panic attacks and anxiety attacks. These can be debilitating and scary, but are very treatable with counseling!

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.

Anxiety is a common mental health condition involving discomfort, worry, and fear over a perceived threat. Stress can make us more susceptible to anxiety as it reduces our capacity to regulate our thinking, behavior, and emotions when faced with a challenging situation. Common types of anxiety include social anxiety, generalized anxiety, phobias, OCD, and PTSD. At Mindly, we utilize proven effective treatments to help people overcome difficulties anxiety is causing in their lives. Cognitive behavior therapy in particular is an effective treatment for anxiety and can also help develop more effective ways to manage stress.

Many of my clients report the main trigger for overeating is "stress and anxiety". It sure helps them to know that their bodies have a predictable physical response to stress/anxiety that contributes to their compulsion to eat. Stress causes complex neurotransmitter reactions and affects our mood and behaviors. Dopamine increases rapidly under stress (focus, goal directed behaviors, energy, arousal) which leads to the decrease in Seratonin (feel good chemical). This can accelerate food cravings that are Seratonin stimulators, namely chocolate and sweets. That's at least part of the compulsive overeating picture. The ED is a bio-psycho-social problem and needs to be treated on all fronts.
