Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in Shenandoah, TX.

We all experience anxiety at times. Anxiety is a way our body tells us that something is wrong. By using tried and true techniques to help you become more aware of what is occurring in your body, mind and emotional self, we help you to identify where you feel the anxiety in your body, how you feel it emotionally and the thoughts you experience when anxiety occurs. You can make meaningful changes in your life by learning how to slow these thoughts down while we work together to unravel the root causes of your stress and anxiety. We can help you to learn relaxation techniques and in some cases we collaborate with your Dr. to help you manage symptoms while working towards long term solutions.

Anxiety and stress can be extremely overwhelming and can really keep you from being productive in your life. I specialize in Dialectical Behavior Therapy to help individuals with life coping skills to have the best outcome in what difficult things life brings. I help my clients become more self aware so they are focused on the present to have a more productive future.

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.

If you find yourself over-reacting...to relationships, work, school - stress may be emotionally "stretching" what had been a healthy tolerance-set. Life happens, and unfortunately so does intense emotional "push back." Sometimes temperament sets us up for a steeper reaction. For others, early wounding and a history of unsatisfactory family bonding creates unresolved tension. Much of this energy can be processed, clarified and worked through. But more dramatic and destructive pieces of our past can also haunt our functioning. Checking into the "why's" and "wherefore's'" of emotional fallout creates a base of understanding and release which can be powerful - it's a journey worth sharing!

Anxiety and stress are two things that the majority of us would like to get rid of. Life today is full of stress and it is almost impossible to get away from it, especially in the city of Houston. Anxiety in my opinion, is a normal reaction when we are about to do something uncomfortable. As soon as we realize that, we can look for ways to manage that discomfort and that is exactly what we will work on together. Self-care is a huge part of it and until you exhibit good self- care, chances are that you will feel stressed and anxious. We will work on making better decision around self-care.

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.

I provide practical tools to regain control over overwhelming thoughts and emotions.
