When our fears and anxieties disrupt our day to day living, there are specific tools to help ourselves understand where it's coming from and how to overcome or manage our anxiety moving forward. In therapy we can grow to overcome anxiety through various ways, depending on what speaks to you the most. We can go a more playful route by working through these concerns in a more creative and expressive model. But I also use approaches like CBT and DBT to help you increase awareness, understand your anxiety so you can challenge it, and implement strategies to manage and overcome what keeps you up at night, or what holds you back when you'd prefer to breathe more calmly.
Fear is our mind and body trying to keep us safe. But when the body goes into overdrive, anxiety can be crippling. I will work with you on calming strategies, but also on what's brining up your anxiety so that you can find peace of mind.
Anxiety and fear all too quickly diminish a person's sense of self, worth, and social experience. We will help client better understand the roots of their anxieties and find ways to gently approach what they may have, understandably, been avoiding. Our goal is to create a larger, richer, more robust world for clients.

Anxiety can include several symptoms including feeling nervous or restless, worrying about the future, having difficulty concetrating, having a sense of impending danger, and can include physical symptoms such as sweating and increased heart-rate. Sometimes, anxiety can stem from fear of making a new choice or changing your reality. Anxiety can be a problem when it feels out of proportion to the actual circumstance or becomes difficulty to manage. Therapy helps you explore and evaluate the possible causes of these feelings and provides support as you learn and practice new method of addressing and reducing the anxiety.

I will address anxiety and fears by integrating psychological techniques with Christian principles to provide a comprehensive and faith-based approach. I will guide you in understanding that it is normal to experience fear but emphasize relying on their faith to navigate through challenges. Prayer, meditation on scripture, and the cultivation of a strong spiritual foundation are often incorporated to promote a sense of peace and trust in God's plan. Cognitive-behavioral strategies may be employed to identify and challenge negative thought patterns contributing to anxiety. Encouragement to surrender worries to God and trust in His guidance is a common theme, aligning with Christian teachings on casting anxieties onto the Lord. Through this integrative approach, you are supported in managing anxiety in a manner that is consistent with their Christian beliefs while fostering mental and emotional well-being.
