My approach to helping individuals or families with anxiety encompasses the initial recognition of the areas that are provoking the anxiety. Once identified, an action can be assigned to each area of anxiety that can help the individual learn that they can have control of their own perspectives. Having anxiety does not have to limit someone's life and can be easily managed.

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.

Anxiety and Stress can at times overwhelm us. Continued unhealthy stress causes us to not perform at our best and may put us in a negative light towards others. We listen warmly and allow you time and space to process through your difficulties. We also offer you explanations and bring awareness to possible cognitive distortions. Combined with calming exercises and techniques provides invaluable mental health experience and minimizes stress and unhealthy anxiety.

Anxiety and stress are among my areas of expertise. I have conducted several workshops within the community as well as training at Shell Oil Co. for their quarterly health and safety meeting. As humans we all experience anxiety and stress. Together we will explore what is causing your distress to determine the most effective way to deal with it. We will also discuss the ways in which your belief system may be increasing your anxiety and ways to effectively cope. Relaxation training (something I teach) is often helpful to individuals experiencing stress.

We hold our anxiety and stress in our body. We feel tension, gut problems, hot flashes, disrupted sleep and more. I work with anxiety and stress by helping individuals learn and develop tools to re-regulate their nervous system. When we have a coherent and fluid nervous system, we can do difficult things without feeling paralyzed by overwhelming fear.

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.

When a person is feeling anxious or stressed, a natural, internal, drive to seek out safety, emotionally and/or physically, is triggered. This is often referred to as the "fight or flight" response. In this state of distress, people tend to react emotionally versus respond thoughtfully; sometimes with good outcomes, but many times with bad. In the horse world, we call this "run first, ask questions later". My goal in working with anxiety and stress is to help people become "first responders", not "first reactors". In slowing down the instinctive drive of "fight or flight" using a variety of self-regulation tools, along with trigger recognition, mindful outcomes can be achieved.
