Having health concerns can lead to anxiety or worsen pre-existing anxiety. Anxiety may also worsen your symptoms, such as pain. You may also be understandably worried about the impact of your health concerns on your functioning, relationships, finances, etc, and find that you are having a difficult time managing these worries. My goal is to support you in managing your anxiety using effective and evidence-based treatments such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.

Everyone worries or feels anxious sometimes as a normal human reaction to stressful situations. Anxiety is excessive worry that hijacks our nervous system and interferes with relationships, productivity and daily living. What could your life be like without all the what-ifs? How would your life be different if you could turn down those intrusive thoughts? During therapy sessions you will learn to slow down and challenge dysfunctional thought patterns while practicing skills to help you relax so you can feel comfortable in your own body again.

Whether you’re suffering from panic attacks, obsessive thoughts, unrelenting worries, or an incapacitating phobia, it’s important to know that you don’t have to live with anxiety and fear. Treatment can help, and for many anxiety problems, therapy is often the most effective option. That’s because anxiety therapy—unlike anxiety medication—treats more than just the symptoms of the problem. Therapy can help you uncover the underlying causes of your worries and fears; learn how to relax; look at situations in new, less frightening ways; and develop better coping and problem-solving skills. Therapy gives you the tools to overcome anxiety and teaches you how to use them.
Anxiety disorders differ considerably, so therapy should be tailored to your specific symptoms and diagnosis. If you have obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), for example, your treatment will be different from someone who needs help for anxiety attacks. The length of therapy will also depend on the type and severity of your anxiety disorder. However, many anxiety therapies are relatively short-term. According to the American Psychological Association, many people improve significantly within 8 to 10 therapy sessions.
While many different types of therapy are used to treat anxiety, the leading approaches are cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and exposure therapy. Each anxiety therapy may be used alone, or combined with other types of therapy. Anxiety therapy may be conducted individually, or it may take place in a group of people with similar anxiety problems. But the goal is the same: to lower your anxiety levels, calm your mind, and overcome your fears.
