Anxiety can have you feeling like the sky is falling. It hijacks your brain and send you down rabbit holes of "what if". We can, together, approach new methods of understanding the impact of anxiety and how to get some workarounds.
I use CBT to challenge irrational thoughts and fears to make them more realistic and positive. We know our thoughts directly affect out emotions. If we don't feel positive, we need to change our thoughts.
I have worked with generalized anxiety disorder. If you experience worry and restlessness, then a cognitive behavioral approach can be effective in managing your symptoms.
Life can be scary. Feeling overwhelmed and out of control happens for many good reasons but sometimes we are not able to calm ourselves enough to function the way we want to. I can help you reorder how you think, make choices and relate to others so that you regain a sense of control over your anxieties. Fear and stress do not have to run your life.
Does this sound familiar? You want to feel calm and peaceful, but instead you find yourself feeling: constantly worried, burdened by a sense of impending doom, or even debilitated by anxiety. It has been hard for you to manage this level of fear and anxiety on your own. Each day it becomes more difficult to focus on anything other than those worst-case scenarios that your mind so quickly creates. Life doesn’t have to go on this way.
