Living with anxiety can be distressing but it doesn't need to be. Let's work together to develop the resources and tools you need to manage and reduce your anxiety and fears and live in alignment with the life you desire.
Anxiety has a lot to do with the stories we tell ourselves about the future. We can help you develop a different relationship to your self talk, so that you are no longer debilitated by it.
Did you know 40% of adults have diagnosable anxiety? This is something so many of us are dealing with, and I enjoy helping people understand what anxiety is, and how they can manage these emotions. This might include discussions about health, teaching specific coping mechanisms (ex: grounding techniques), or using psychoeducation.
Anxiety comes in many forms and is very prevalent in our society. When working with clients who are dealing with generalized anxiety disorder or social anxiety disorder interventions from CBT or DBT may be employed. When working with clients who are dealing with one or more phobias we may work on reducing triggers as well as employing gentle exposure techniques (where appropriate). If an individual is dealing with OCD we may target a specific obsession and work to reduce it (as well as the consequent compulsion) by examining faulty beliefs or distorted feelings. If appropriate various supplements may be recommended; if medication is necessary I will work with the client’s prescriber.
