Anxiety

Anxiety, worry, or extreme apprehension is your body’s natural response to stress and can arise when introduced to stressful life events. Although anxiety is a natural reaction, in some cases, the worry begins to linger becoming pervasive and chronic. In result of this, sufferers start to dread their everyday routine leading to excessive nervousness and fear. EMDR is a tool we can use to decrease anxiety and reprocess trauma memories.

Anxiety is a human reaction, and can be treated as such. Learning how to acknowledge where and how our anxieties affect us can better help us understand the premise of our anxious tendencies.

Given my own anxiety over the years and my attempts to accept it, be curious and learn from it, and lessen it, has allowed me to be especially sensitive and helpful with the many aspects of anxiety.

I utilize a lot of mindfulness in my practice, as both a clinician and certified yoga instructor, I tend to focus a lot on calming and grounding techniques. I have found that this has helped immensely with people who experience anxiety. In addition, I have found EMDR to be an excellent tool in treating such issues.

I have been treating anxiety for several years using a cognitive behavioral approach. Issues like social anxiety, performance anxiety, hoarding, and agorophobia

Anxiety is often the result of an over-active defense mechanism. Whatever the original cause of this self-defense, it usually does a great job of protecting us from dangers. But true anxiety comes from that self-defense process running out of control; protecting us from dangers that are not present in the moment. Using evidence-based tools and practices, and working with each individual client (like you) to tailor a plan best suited for you, I help manage and reduce anxiety symptoms, recognize their causes, and work with you to reduce your anxiety, often transforming it into an ally instead of a cause of distress.

Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, or grief, I can help you find the coping skills you need to help find a place of hope, healing, and peace. My approach focuses on establishing a safe place for clients to process past or present issues. I work with clients to develop healthy coping skills for anxiety using breathing techniques and clinical hypnotherapy to help you manage symptoms , regain and maintain control of their thoughts and behaviors.

Anxiety may be our bodies best alarm system, but constant worry and anxiety can decrease our focus and clarity.

FEAR has 2 meanings: Forget Everything and Run, OR Face Everything and Rise. Stepping outside our “comfort zone” can be scary. Anxiety wreaks havoc on our health & relationships. Understanding how our brain & body process anxiety is important! Coping tools help us “re-wire the brain” to change the outcome of how we view & respond to stressors. “A calm mind is the ultimate weapon against your challenges”. Together we can face those challenges, creating a calm, peaceful mind.
