Anxiety and panic are some of the most uncomfortable emotions people experience. The key to ridding yourself of fear is to face it. Worrying about a problem is NOT the same as facing the problem. By shining light on the hidden fear, you will immediately diminish its power. Then, through examining your strengths, developing skills and coping mechanisms, and by practicing courage you will quickly turn your anxiety into confidence and power. The situations and people you used to dread will quickly become manageable and possibly even exhilarating.

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.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ( ACT ) is an evidence-based treatment model. From an ACT perspective, struggling and pain are part of the human experience. The essential components of ACT include stop struggling with unwanted thoughts and feelings, being mindfully aware of the present moment, and committing to a course of action that is consistent with what matters to you in life. ACT helps you stop fighting and/or avoiding your anxiety, develop a new relationship with your thoughts and feelings, and live the life you desire.

Anxiety and stress are a normal part of life. We tend to experience stress when we are responding to a potential threat. We then tend to experience anxiety in reaction to stress. The issues arise when the feelings of anxiety and stress get out of control. I like to offer physical tools to help like exercise, and breathing techniques including breath prayers and tapping. I also provide my clients with scriptures and prayers to meditate on to help take you the worried, distracted thoughts that hep fuel your stressful and anxious feelings.

I provide practical tools to regain control over overwhelming thoughts and emotions. Through cognitive-behavioral techniques and dialectal behavior therapy, clients can learn to identify triggers, challenge negative patterns, and cultivate a sense of calm. I collaborate with clients to develop personalized strategies that empower them to navigate anxiety-inducing situations, ultimately fostering greater resilience and emotional well-being.

Axiety and stress sometimes become part of our daily life. There is a connection between our thinking to our feelings that is very easy to understand and take charge of so that we can create healthy change in or lives. These patterns can often be tracked from the modeling in our family of origin or even possibly a physical imbalance. Coping skills go a long way in creating balance and peace in our lives, but we often need to slow things down to get some understanding of how we are processing information and expectations in our lives and relationships.

Anxiety is much more than fear; it is the sum total of stressors on your body. Nonetheless, deep fears and traumas constitute some of the biggest contributors to anxiety, and these can heal! Our bodies are not made to live in constant anxiety. All of us know our pathway back to health. We must be listened to deeply, and ditch the facades. It is our job to ask the right questions to guide you there.

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.

Everyone experiences anxiety at some point, but for some the anxiety is so frequent or intense that it interferes with their lives or even triggers panic attacks. I use Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help my clients get a sense of control over their own anxiety. We collaborate to learn skills to reduce the frequency or intensity of the anxious feelings, to tolerate the anxiety when it does occur so they can still function through it, and to practice habits that reduce stress and improve general mental health.
