Are You Looking For Practical And Sustainable Anxiety Relief?

Do you feel like you are missing out on life or being held back by a constant sense of fear and worry? Are you unable to relax, let your guard down, or feel safe—even in ordinary situations? Do you find leaving the house, going to work, driving, or even functioning daily so overwhelming that you sometimes feel frozen, unable to accomplish anything?

Perhaps you often experience a tightness in your chest, heart palpitations, digestive issues, or trouble sleeping, but you don’t know why. Or it could be that you are so busy fighting stress and tension that you can’t focus on doing your job, spending quality time with your friends and family, or even relaxing and having some fun!

Anxiety can drain you on a mental, physical, and spiritual level. You may be calling into work sick or avoiding social situations or activities that could trigger distress. Or you could be so keyed up, waiting for the worst to happen, that you can’t even enjoy a moment of peace and quiet. And even if you do manage to find some peace or happiness, you’re probably unable to really embrace the moment because you’re always waiting for the other shoe to drop. It’s as if constantly feeling on edge—rather than at ease—is your baseline.

If you want a better life and are motivated to make positive changes by collaborating with an anxiety specialist, I can help. Together, we can create a path forward that will allow you to live with greater self-confidence, resiliency, and peace of mind.

Anxiety Is A Natural Response To Fear Or Stress

None of us get through life without encountering some challenges, however, dealing with an anxiety disorder can be an isolating and frightening experience. When fear is at the forefront of your mind every moment of the day, it prevents you from being fully present and recognizing your true potential.

Anxiety is one of the most common mental health issues in the US, affecting over 40 million adults in any given year.* Over-stimulation from news broadcasts, divisive political messages, and social media is creating an environment in which it feels like we always have to be on guard. The resulting inability to feel safe at home, in our communities, or even in our own bodies fuels a level of stress and insecurity that can slowly infiltrate every part of life. When adding in the demands of work, raising children, and pursuing personal goals, it’s no wonder that anxiety is so prevalent.

Although fear and stress are unavoidable aspects of being human, they don’t have to be the dominating forces in your life. Working with a therapist can help you understand and overcome the source of your anxiety so you can find effective and sustainable anxiety relief. With a little work and your commitment to change, you can take ownership of your life and begin living with more freedom and opportunity.

Anxiety Therapy Can Help You Realize Your Potential For Happiness

Overcoming anxiety can seem like an insurmountable challenge. But working with a therapist can help resolve the challenges you face by breaking down the healing process into manageable, bite-sized pieces. Through our work together, you will gain healthy coping skills as well as clarity, focus, and a sense of safety and security that can empower you to live the life you want. In time, you can reduce anxiety and free yourself up to enjoy a more peaceful, engaged, and satisfying life.

In a space of compassion and respect, we’ll begin by looking at your personal background. This could include childhood experiences, relationships with caregivers, or any traumatic events or triggers that may be contributing to your current distress. We may discuss how long you have been experiencing anxiety symptoms, whether your condition is acute or chronic, and how it has been or is currently affecting your life.

I offer a tailored, strength-based approach to treating anxiety that combines aspects of several different healing methods. If you are suffering from acute anxiety, I can teach you mindfulness skills, meditation techniques, breathing strategies, and nature-based exercises that can help ground you and feel safe in the present moment. If you have chronic anxiety, we can use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you cast off old, negative beliefs and feelings about yourself to help uncover who you truly are.

Coping with anxiety is an exhausting experience. But working with an anxiety therapist can empower you to be more energetic, spontaneous, and emotionally flexible so you are no longer bound by fear and uncertainty. Once you resolve the underlying issues of anxiety, you will find a new perspective that allows you to feel more confident, secure, and capable of embracing life with an open mind and an open heart.

Perhaps you are considering therapy for anxiety, but you still have some concerns…

I worry about the financial cost of counseling.

Working with a therapist is a short-term investment that pays off in the long-term in countless ways. At this point, you have likely been coping with your anxiety in ways that at one time made you feel safe, but now, they only seem to make matters worse. Therapy can help you let go of those coping mechanisms that are no longer useful so that you are able to create new opportunities for personal, professional, and spiritual growth. In time, you can learn how to relax, feel safe, and pursue personal goals with confidence.

My anxiety is not that bad.

Any degree of stress and anxiety diminishes the experience of the human journey. It can prevent you from fully engaging in the world, realizing your potential, or believing that you deserve happiness. But rest assured, with your commitment to working toward positive change, you can feel more present, purposeful, and whole in your life.

I don’t think I have the time for anxiety treatment.

Anxiety is an unnecessary distraction. It robs you of time, energy, and peace of mind until all you can do is obsess about events in the past or stress out about the future. But therapy can help you avoid the inevitable time sink and restore a sense of wholeness and strength that will allow you to focus your energy on the matters and people who mean the most to you.
