Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in Shady Shores, TX.

Anxiety will cripple you from living your life. There are concrete skills you can develop that help reduce anxiety and manage it when it tries to take over. You have more power than you think over your own anxiety and I can help you avoid the pitfalls of anxiety that so many people fall into. I've had tremendous success in treating my clients who struggle with this unique but common disorder. You don't have to let it stop you from having the life you want.

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.

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. For more than 25 years I've helped clients learn to cope with and overcome the effects of stress and anxiety. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I'll help you understand what triggers your anxiety, learn to change the thinking patterns that can lead to increased stress and develop concrete skills to reduce your anxiety. Anxiety, stress and the effects of trauma are treatable. You can restore a sense of calm and positive control over your life again.

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.

I practice psychotherapy specializing in working with adolescents & adults in the treatment of anxiety, anxiety disorders, and trauma. This includes Generalized Anxiety Disorder, perfectionistic thinking, panic attacks, social anxiety, & anxiety caused by past traumas. Anxiety is often experienced together with depression, stress, significant life changes, relationship issues, chronic medical illness or pain, or a desire to improve your quality of life.
