Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
Treating anxiety in therapy involves an individualized approach designed to alleviate symptoms and enhance overall well-being. Clinicians often utilize evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and reframe distorted thought patterns contributing to anxiety. Through psychoeducation, clients gain a deeper understanding of their triggers and learn practical coping strategies, including mindfulness and relaxation techniques, to manage worry thoughts and uncomfortable physical sensations. Exposure therapy may also be employed to gradually confront and desensitize individuals to anxiety provoking situations. Therapeutic exploration often delves into the root causes of anxiety, addressing underlying concerns and fostering resilience. Collaborative goal-setting enables clients to work towards realistic milestones, promoting a sense of control and empowerment. Ultimately, therapy for anxiety seeks to provide individuals with the tools to navigate uncertainty, reduce avoidance behaviors, and cultivate a more adaptive approach to life's challenges.

You are everyone's go to person. High achievement and performance in all that you do is a MUST. Picking up slack and getting the job done at all costs is just what you do. Others praise you for your incredible drive and work ethic, you never miss a beat. Whether it’s in your relationship, at work, or in your family, you are the one that takes on the majority of the responsibility.
On The Inside:
This is a very different story. Running on fumes is how you’re getting by. Pulled in so many different directions, you don’t have much left to give, but you’ll sacrifice something to make it happen. Driving this is a low self-confidence. You don’t drop the ball because you’re so afraid of letting people down that you will avoid that at all costs. Sleepless nights are many, and you’re on edge. Oh, and if anyone needs advice on how to deal with a headache, they come to you because you get a lot of them. This internal experience is exhausting. It’s exhausting to the point where you don’t feel like getting out of bed. Pulling the covers over your head and hiding from the world seems like heavenly bliss. You’re just so tired and things just look bleak.
When we experience adversity, these experiences can become imprinted in our minds. I don’t mean that figuratively at all. These experiences form neuropathways which dictate our response to other stressful situations as we continue on with our lives. When are nervous systems are continually in a stress response, we produce harmful hormones such as adrenaline and cortisol. Overtime, high levels of cortisol and adrenaline deplete our serotonin leaving us feeling anxious and/or depressed.
There is some good news here. Since anxiety and depression are some of the most common and well understood mental health issues, there are many ways to address them. I use a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) skills, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) skills and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to address them. Through these methods you will develop tools to confront and change your negative thoughts and learn better ways to regulate emotions. If you choose to use EMDR, we can often identify the root cause of these issues. You’ll reprocess these experiences to a point where you feel a sense of calm or peace when they are recalled.
