Do you worry a lot and can't stop it? I can help you to explore your fears with curiosity and self compassion so that you can stay more present and accepting of your emotions.
I address anxiety by working with clients to uncover past traumas, attachment styles, current coping mechanisms, lifestyle choices and overall wellbeing.
Anxiety and fear often comes from very real experiences in your life. Those experiences are in the past, and the part of you that's scared has trouble recognizing that. Imagine being able to recognize when you're operating from something that no longer applies and set your anxiety or fear aside!
Fears and anxiety can overwhelm us at times. However, these emotions do not need to be a steady-state. Sometimes our fears and anxiety take shape as OCD and social isolation. It is important to recognize that anxiety and related feelings are highly complex. So what we meet when we say "OCD" (for example) is important to define. I will work with you to develop a deep appreciation for what your fear and anxiety are trying to tell you about what you need. We will also work together to create strategies for managing overwhelming feelings and staying connected to yourself.
Struggling to cope with anxiety and fear can limit every aspect of your life. I work with clients to understand the underlying cause of their anxiety, gain insight to what triggers those emotions and develop healthy ways to successfully manage or eliminate those symptoms.

I know what it's like to have that anxiety and fear in the chest and stomach. Using my IREST, mindfulness, meditation, and IFS approaches we can get to know that worry and why it's trying to protect you. It's not so easy just to say "calm down." We have to get to know it and get to know other parts of your system that affect it as well.
