Stress & Anxiety Therapy

Relief from Anxiety
- Does worrying take up most of your daily life?
- Are you avoiding situations that cause you stress?
- Do you have trouble sleeping because you can't stop thinking?
Anxiety is different from normal worrying. You feel like you can't stop worrying.
Your mind is going all the time, your body is tense, and relaxing is extremely difficult.
Get Back in Control
I can show you how to face anxiety head on, and take control of your worries.
Rather than just teaching you coping skills, I help you attack anxiety in three ways:
- Using cognitive behavioral therapy to stop spiraling thoughts.
- Creating a daily structure that helps you stay in control.
- Replacing worry with a new habit: positive action.
My Own Journey
My own challenges with anxiety led me on a path to study psychology, and to become a psychotherapist.
When I was younger, I worried a lot and used sports as a way to cope. This helped, but not all the time! I realized that I had to learn better strategies to manage my anxiety.
Cognitive behavioral therapy was the epiphany for me. I discovered that I was not my thoughts, and that with the right strategies, I could manage my anxiety and get back in control.
A Call to Action
Anxiety is rooted in a feeling of lack of control. The key is to know when to take action on your worries, and when to let them go.
Having control over your anxiety is possible. It's really just a question of learning the right skills, practicing them in counseling, and gradually applying them in the real world.
Reach out and schedule a call with me today, and let's get you back in control.
