Anxiety and stress are completely natural emotions that all of us face at one time or another. Anxiety can actually be very helpful - it makes us want to get things done! Stress can work for us in much the same way - it can motivate us or alert us when we are in situations that may not be the healthiest for us. The problem is when these natural emotions "go off the rails" and begin to adversely impact how we feel and function. My job as your therapist is to help you get the tools that you need so you can take charge of your anxiety and stress and help you put them back in a place where they are healthy and beneficial.

Everyone feels anxiety at some point in their lives but when it starts to interfere with your life, counseling can help. Although anxiety can feel debilitating, it is treatable. People with anxiety don’t always share the same symptoms, they vary from person to person. Therapy will help you to reclaim your life and function in a chronically stressful world.

It is important to know if the source/cause of anxiety is situational or chemical because the source/cause will determine the treatment. Most stress & anxiety is situational and lifestyle or life issues induced, resulting in one or more of the following * extreme worry * fear or dread * inability to concentrate or be productive * inability to relax * sleep deprivation or insomnia * loss of appetite/nausea/weight loss. I can help! If your symptoms include panic attacks and/or physical symptoms such as feeling chilled then I recommend seeing your physician and getting a referral to a psychiatrist because you may need medication (not long term) to address the debilitating physical 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.

In the modern world anxiety and stress have come to be experienced as givens. Some people have the natural makeup to handle a lot of stress and keep functioning reasonably well, others less, but everyone has a breaking point. My clients receive help in two directions... internal and external. Many clients need to develop skills that reduce the external contributors to their anxiety producing stress. Most also need to develop internal cognitive and spiritual practices to deal with external factors that are beyond our control. My clients and I work together to discover how to develop these external skills and internal practices.
