Anxiety and fear are natural responses that can often become acutely exacerbated or chronically disruptive in our lives. These conditions are often multifactorial including biological, psychological, and social factors. Mindfulness, or awareness, is an important first step to understanding why our body responds the way it does. From there, we can work together on tools and practices to help change these responses including biofeedback, functional breathing, and meditation. Additional support could include acupuncture, naturopathic therapies, therapeutic exercise, or even medication.
I treat Anxiety with a combination of behavioral interventions (CBT, DBT, ACT) as well as narrative therapy. Mindfulness is also very effective when treating anxiety.
