Anxiety Treatment

Feeling Stressed Out And Worried All The Time?

Do you find yourself feeling uneasy when you think about work, school, or social relationships? Is it difficult or impossible to control your fears and ruminating thoughts? Have you been feeling “on edge” or “keyed up” lately? 

Perhaps you’ve begun to avoid specific activities or places, such as social events, driving, or simply being in public, because you can feel your anxiety creeping in. You may have tried drinking, telling yourself to “just relax,” binge-watching TV shows, or finding other distractions to try and rid yourself of anxious thoughts and feelings. You probably feel like you’re losing control or going crazy, and nobody will understand what you’re going through.

Deep down, you want to experience peace of mind and a more relaxed state of being. This is entirely possible. Through therapy, you can experience a life not controlled by anxiety.

Many People Struggle with Anxiety

Anxiety is incredibly common. Many people live much of their lives feeling like they are stuck in fifth gear and can’t slow down. Sometimes, feeling stress seems so normal that they don’t even realize life can be different. 

Anxiety serves a purpose in our lives. It is our mind’s way of telling us to pay attention, make careful plans for the future, and avoid potential problems we may encounter. It’s trying to keep us safe and on track. However, sometimes our mind tries to solve problems that are unlikely, beyond our control, or blown out of proportion.

Stress is an inevitable part of life, but if it’s stopping you from living the way you really want, there are steps you can take to improve your mental, physical, and emotional well-being. 

We Live In A Culture That Reinforces Anxiety Symptoms 

Unfortunately, society is riddled with situations that can cause or worsen anxious symptoms. Our culture tends to place pressure on people to excel in all areas of life, and as a result, they become distressed.

Constant worry about performance at school and work, such as meeting deadlines and preparing for presentations, exams, and assignments, can lead to persistent feelings of stress and anxiety. The fear of failure or not meeting expectations eventually becomes overwhelming.

Additionally, external stressors, such as past traumas, peer pressure, relationship issues, family conflicts, or financial difficulties, can also exacerbate symptoms of anxiety.

However, regardless of how you have developed anxiety, treatment with a compassionate, experienced therapist can help make significant, positive changes to the life you’re currently living. 

I Specialize In Anxiety Treatment So You Can Regain Control Of Your Life

Living with anxiety is not easy and can often feel terrifying and isolating, especially if you believe you have no one to talk to.

Therapy gives you an environment where you can feel comfortable sharing your thoughts and emotions. Here, you are heard and validated. 

During sessions, I can help you increase your understanding of anxiety and teach you new techniques for effectively coping with your symptoms. We can practice these skills right in our sessions so you can go out and apply them to your daily life. As you learn to manage your anxiety, you can enjoy new levels of ease, relaxation, and peace.

My Approach to Anxiety Treatment 

My main approaches to anxiety disorder treatment are Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), along with Mindfulness-Based Relapse Prevention (MBRP).

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) for anxiety focuses on accepting difficult feelings and thoughts without judgment while still moving forward toward important goals. 

Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) teaches you how to handle worrying thoughts, manage physical symptoms of anxiety, and deal with emotions better in stressful situations. We also use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to work on decision-making, stopping overthinking, challenging negative thoughts, and finding more positive ways to view ourselves and our circumstances.

Mindfulness-Based Relapse Prevention (MBRP) explores how your thoughts, feelings, and physical sensations affect your decisions. By practicing mindfulness, we can make better choices. Mindfulness is a big part of what I do. It’s a powerful tool in therapy. I’ve been practicing mindfulness for a long time and have lots of techniques to help with different issues. 

Additionally, I take a holistic approach to anxiety, looking at lifestyle factors like nutrition, exercise, and sleep. I offer practical, meaningful advice on making positive changes and support when life starts to feel tough.

Learning how to heal from anxiety, stress, and even panic attacks is something we can do together. These persistent experiences and sensations are often a matter of not fully understanding what is causing you pain. Treatment can help get your life back from anxiety by teaching you the skills and strategies you need to slow your mind and enjoy a life of peace and purpose.
