There are several types of anxiety disorders as well as levels of distress experienced. Treatments often helpful are cognitive behavioral therapies which help you to change unhelpful or unhealthy ways of thinking, feeling and behaving. Learning the causes and different ways to think and cope is the focus of treatment.

Anxiety is a common mental health condition characterized by persistent feelings of fear, worry, and unease. While it is normal to experience occasional anxiety in response to stressful situations, anxiety becomes a concern when it interferes with daily functioning and quality of life. It can manifest in various forms, such as generalized anxiety disorder, social anxiety disorder, panic disorder, or specific phobias.

Anxiety and fears are often rooted in our personal or family traumas. Trauma is held in our bodies. Therapeutic interventions help our brains to learn new ways to reorganize synaptic connections for the release of painful memories and emotions while learning new ways to live. EMDR and other evidence-based modalities use our own body's internal systems for processing and release of negative emotions and pain.
Emotions are essential biological indicators, guiding us to take important actions—whether it's to rest, express our feelings, set boundaries, or stand up for ourselves. Often, anxiety emerges as a sign that deeper emotions are being ignored. Finding inner peace becomes difficult when we don't 'tune in' to our emotions and process them properly. Understanding this, my approach to treating anxiety is comprehensive. I am committed to identifying the treatment that best suits your individual needs, providing a personalized path toward effectively managing your anxiety.
As a therapist, it is my goal to collaboratively help you to acknowledge and understand the various emotions, thoughts, feelings and behaviors that can often result from challenging and painful experiences.
