Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in Warren, RI.

Anxiety issues and how they affect our lives are my main focus. How we eat and how much, how well we sleep, the way communicate to friends, family and loved ones and how we perceive and engage in daily challenges affect our anxiety levels which in turn contributes to more or less anxiety. I bring over 15 years of expereince working with patients in various forms of partnership, utilizing a unique blend of behavioral, health education and therapuetic approaches with positive results in a majority of those I work with.

Are you nervous a lot of the time? Isn’t it uncomfortable? And it doesn’t help to just be told to ‘calm down’. I am a highly trained clinical psychologist with years of both academic and clinical experience. I truly empathize with your emotional state(s) and can assist in improving your overall quality of life. How might this look? First, when you and I meet, you get support and time to just chat. This in itself can begin to lessen one’s stress. Together we can locate exactly what is making you anxious, and why. And then you and I create ways of decreasing your nervousness, and increasing your comfort level! Life can start to feel better when one’s anxiety is properly attended to.

I believe anxiety and stress are for a large part the disconnection of the individual from their body and emotions, while they live a life in their head with minds spinning. Reconnecting a client to their bodies through mindfulness practices is one method I use to help with these stressors. This can also include building aspects of clients' physical activity such as exercise and creative expression. I also believe in integrating cognitive therapy to help shift unhelpful anxious thoughts about past and future which I consider to be the source of misery for many.

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.
