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.
I enjoy working with individuals experiencing anxiety in their every day lives as well as during a specific life stressor. I use Cognitive Behavioral therapy to teach individuals that their thoughts impact how they feel which then impacts what they do or how they act. I also enjoy teaching mindfulness to clients so they can learn to be more aware of the warning signs their body is supplying prior to having increased anxiety or a panic attack.
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.
