Men face serious concerns with anxiety or fear - of not being enough, smart enough, rich enough or resourceful enough - the old patterns that are imprinted on the psyche require great care, non judgement or shaming - just a safe environment for the man to recognize how the story has affected him and I provide methods to improve thoughts and actions.
Anxiety and fear has the potential to hold us back from all types of opportunities. It is not that clients are unable to overcome anxiety, often times it is that they do not know how. When working with clients that are experiencing anxiety, I like to take a Cognitive Behavioral approach as well as psycho-educate clients on anxiety so that they are aware of what is happening inside of their own bodies and use that knowledge to their advantage.
Anxiety or fear, is a normal human emotion. When our anxieties or fears become so present in our daily lives that they create a monoculture of thought, or disrupt our ability to engage with ourselves or others with balance and diversity, then our quality of life can decrease significantly. I have extensive experience in working with anxiety and can help you manage the anxiety or fear that you face. With thoughtful attention, unconditional positive regard and interventions specific to your needs, we can work together to effectively manage these types of challenges.
Anxiety is a normal part of life, but sometimes it gets in the way of our living what we think of as our best life. Counseling can help you find tools to not only cope but lessen the impact of anxiety on how you live.
