Being afraid and anxious is horrible! You feel trapped and overwhelmed and, when it's happening, you can't even remember what it feels like to be okay. The best thing to do is to recognize the problem and do something about it. Counseling can really help you understand what you are truly afraid of, which usually isn't the thing we think we're afraid of. I can help you sort all this out. Don't put it off any more! You CAN get your anxiety under control.
Our goal is to help you uncover your true potential, and lead a life that is worth celebrating. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life. Our practice style is goal oriented using numerous approaches.
Anxiety can be like a heavy fog, clouding our vision and weighing us down. But, as a therapist, I believe that together we can navigate through this fog and find the path to inner peace. By delving into the root causes of your anxiety and exploring practical strategies, we can work collaboratively to find a sense of calm amidst the chaos. Together, drawing from the wisdom of Eastern philosophy, mindfulness practices, and ancient stoic principles, we can explore new ways to calm the mind and the soul. This journey towards inner peace and self-discovery is something we'll undertake together, as equals, walking side by side.
I can help you learn how to manage your anxiety and fears. We live in a culture that values overworking and high productivity, leading many of us to struggle with perfectionism and burnout. Therapy can help you prioritize yourself by finding ways to get support and fill your cup, so you can better cope with life's challenges.
We’ll practice several approaches to see which ones fit best for you. Some of these approaches include breath work and muscle relaxation techniques, mindfulness, strategies to challenge anxious thoughts, and self-compassion practice. We’ll explore dynamics in your relationships and family to learn more about your anxiety happening today. We’ll also brainstorm ways to build community in the face of oppression, identifying what is within and outside of our control.
I focus on mindfulness and coping skills to foster relaxation. I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to address unhealthy thinking patterns. Together, we'll navigate your anxiety, cultivating resilience and confidence for a more balanced and fulfilling life.
