How do you know you have experienced anxiety? Because you are breathing—we all experience anxiety from time to time, but for some of us that anxiety becomes overwhelming as we struggle to think straight, worry, deal with racing thoughts that just seem to go round and round in our head, or maybe even have panic attacks or heart palpitations. With all of that going on in a brain that is hypervigilant and focused on keeping us safe, life can sometimes feel as if things are just never going to get better! Whether you are experiencing anxiety relative to a situation in your life that is causing you a lot of stress, are experiencing worries that are keeping you up at night, are having specific fears or phobias that are keeping you captive, or whether you are finding yourself with panic attacks or traumatic reexperiencing, therapy can really help! Together, we can work to help you figure out the root causes of your anxiety as well as to learn ways to help you manage those anxious symptoms. We can help you learn skills to help you deal with severe anxiety and ways to prevent that mild anxiety from getting worse.

Anxiety or Fears (or sometimes also with panic) can be viewed as such a "scary monster" because we could not predict when it comes and when it goes, because we felt like it it uncontrollable or unknown. I have extensive experiences with helping my clients to manage and regain control, change it from unknown and known, so it is no longer the "scary monster" but an emotion that can be predictable and manageable.
We all experience anxiety in some form, however chronic, prolonged and intense bouts of worry can affect our life adversely. I specialize in helping clients understand triggers for their anxiety and how to cope effectively using mind body approaches.
