Are you stressed or anxious? Anxiety is usually partly caused by "what if" questions that you ask but don't answer, instead imagining that the worst will overtake you and you will be left helpless and hopeless. I will help you to look at these questions and really answer them, rather than relying upon your fear-filled imagery to determine how you'll feel. In addition to helping you look at what you can do to cope in the various scenarios you imagine. Depending upon the extent of your problems, we might work to teach you skills to relax and calm your mind, learn to control your breathing, problem-solve, communicate more effectively, set limits, and more.

Life in today's fast-paced demanding world can leave you feeling overwhelmed, stressed and anxious. Maybe you've experienced a traumatic event that you just can't seem to move past.

While stress and anxiety is a part of the human experience, sometimes it can feel very overwhelming and difficult to manage. For some, stress and anxiety can feel almost debilitating.

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.
