Feeling a certain level of anxiety over big stressors or certain life events is totally normal. However, if you find that your fear or worry does not go away and, in fact, gets worse over time, you may be suffering from an anxiety disorder. Mild anxiety is vague and unsettling and often passes quickly, while severe anxiety can seriously affect your day-to-day life. If you are finding your anxiety unmanageable, can’t identify the cause of your anxious feelings or if you are suffering from physical symptoms (such as heart palpations, fatigue, sweaty hands, upset stomach, or insomnia), it may be time to get help. Reach out to one of TherapyDen’s anxiety specialists today.
My clients are often struggling to cope with distress, manage difficult emotions, and build harmonious relationships with family and friends. I help those who are: feeling irritable or depressed; anxious, on edge, or constantly worrying; experiencing school or work stress; having difficulty focusing or completing tasks; having difficulty sleeping; struggling to communicate without escalation or shutting down; and/or drinking, using substances, cutting, running away, or other risky behaviors.

Anxiety happens when our stress response kicks on, even if there is no threat to our safety. This isn’t always a bad thing. Some level of anxiety can help us to feel motivated and to perform well in certain tasks. At a certain point though, anxiety can become debilitating and feel overwhelming, contributing to uncomfortable physical symptoms. I help my clients to better understand their anxiety and develop a new relationship with it using components of mindfulness.

I understand that anxiety can look very different for each person while some people have a "functioning" anxiety issue compared to others who may be debilitated by it. It's a tricky beast that creeps up and messes with your sense of things present and future. Training for this has been received through direct experience over the last decade, staying on top of research articles and trends, and taking part in various trainings.

What makes us think, feel, and act the way we do? Through my research and practice, I learned that the way we see the world is influenced by a multitude of factors including our culture, race, upbringing, and sexual orientation - just to name a few. All of these variables came together in your life to play a part in how you feel, think, and act. In our work together, we will explore how your unique experiences may have contributed to the struggles and questions you have today.

You may feel an emptiness and you don't know why. Whoever you are and wherever your journey has taken you, you are safe here.

In working with clients, I have learned that everyone experiences anxiety in their own unique way. My work begins with a careful assessment to identify clients' specific areas of difficulty. I take a trauma-informed approach based on the Tri-Phasic Model adopted by the International Society for Traumatic Stress Studies. Among the interventions I often use are mindfulness relaxation, cognitive restructuring, emotional experiencing, and self-compassion.

I have many clients express that one day, they woke up and realized they'd been living with constant, low level anxiety for their entire life. If that describes you, it's time to do something about it! What would your life look like without a permanently clenched jaw, or frequent stress-induced migraines? What would it feel like to live free of constantly overthinking and worrying about if others are judging you? Anxiety is a beast, but we can tackle it together.

Anxiety can be all consuming and frustrating. I work with clients to acknowledge their anxiety and articulate its parts and the experience. Together, we collaborate to find cognitive behavioral strategies that can ease the anxiety. I also utilize a holistic approach, encouraging self care, such as meditation and good nutrition.
