How do you work with clients with anxiety?
When working with clients experiencing anxiety, I take a supportive, individualized approach to help them understand and manage their symptoms effectively. I utilize evidence-based methods like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to address negative thought patterns, as well as Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) to promote present-moment awareness and reduce stress. Motivational interviewing and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) are also helpful in building coping strategies and resilience. By creating a safe and open environment, we can work together to identify triggers, build healthy coping skills, and empower you to feel more in control of your anxiety.

What's your experience with clients with anxiety?
Anxiety and panic is my niche! I have studied neuroplasticity and rewiring the anxious brain. Fascinating! My approach begins with teaching the client a little bit about the anxiety response cycle and the physiological changes that the human body experiences. Then, I use a cognitive behavioral approach so that the client can effectively manage anxiety so that it no longer interferes with their functioning.
Do you constantly worry? Do you overthink plans and solutions to worst-case outcomes so that you feel prepared? Does everything have to be done perfectly? Do you have difficulty handling uncertainty? Do you fear making the wrong decision? Do you feel restless? Difficulty with sleep? Do you move from relationship to relationship? Viktor Frankl said, “When we are no longer able to change a situation -we are challenged to change ourselves." He really knew what he was talking about. Each life transition inevitably forces us to navigate "stormy waters." If the challenge has become overwhelming, it's time to get some help. I specialize in helping those suffering from anxiety, including health care professionals and veterans. You don't have to continue suffering. You deserve to feel better. As a seasoned therapist, I can help you feel empowered to stop the cycle of worry and anxiety, find your sense of purpose, and reclaim your life. The good news is that we've all gone through seasons of our lives when we feel this way. The first step is to reach out to someone for help. My approach is straightforward: together we will identify your goals, establish a problem-solving treatment plan, and go from there. If something is telling you it's time to begin your journey; give me a call.
