Anxiety

136130369It’s what brings a lot of people to therapy.

Anxiety, stress, and chronic worry… it’s like an endless battle.

And if you’re here, you probably know it well:

A racing heart…

Shortness of breath…

Sweaty palms…

Tense muscles…

An upset stomach…

That’s what happens when you always feel uneasy, worried, restless, irritable, and afraid.

Anxiety is a complex picture.

That’s why it’s different for every person.

Your genetics, brain chemistry, personality, traumatic history, and ongoing stress affect how you feel and cope with anxiety.

We’ll investigate to see what’s most relevant for you, but I can already tell you this:

Life events and environmental stressors are the chief causes of anxiety.

I’ve worked with many medical professionals over the years, so unlike many therapists, I deeply understand the medical conditions that cause or contribute to anxiety.

When it comes to anxiety, my goal is to help you understand the root cause of YOUR anxiety. There are often underlying issues or traumas creating stress and worry.

We’ll address them with various tools – particularly mindfulness-based stress reduction. By becoming aware of your thoughts, emotions, and physical sensations and how they change in the face of anxiety, you’ll learn to challenge negative or irrational thinking, practice self-care and relaxation, and make healthier choices for managing stress.

Greater self-awareness gives you power and control over your anxiety and improves overall well-being.

Get ready to feel more relaxed and grounded!

A sense of stability and security is more attainable than you could ever imagine.

Feeling centered, balanced, and in control of your thoughts and actions is within reach.

Approaching your anxiety non-judgmentally and observing your thoughts, feelings, and sensations without getting caught up in them is the key.
