How do you work with clients with anxiety?

When working with clients who experience anxiety, I begin by conducting a comprehensive assessment to understand their symptoms, triggers, and personal history. This allows me to tailor a treatment plan that suits their individual needs. I often incorporate evidence-based therapeutic approaches, like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness techniques, to help clients develop effective coping strategies. If appropriate, I may also prescribe medications to alleviate their symptoms and provide ongoing medication management. Educating clients about anxiety and its effects is an essential part of my approach, as it empowers them to recognize and manage their experiences. Ultimately, I strive to create a safe and supportive environment where clients feel comfortable discussing their concerns, allowing for a more meaningful therapeutic relationship and effective treatment.

Help clients understand that anxiety is a natural response to perceived threat, encourage clients to explore their anxious thoughts, teach simple techniques like deep breathing, sensory awareness, grounding exercises and mindfulness, explore whether anxiety stems from trauma, stress, perfectionism, or other sources and help clients identify triggers and patterns to build self-awareness.

I'm a Licensed practitioner in both Florida and Pennsylvania. My goal is to help you. I never want you to feel like you're alone or can't do this. While I work with children and adults with a variety of concerns, my ultimate goal is to empower you. I want to help you break the cycle of negative thoughts and behaviors and embrace the future with confidence.

We start by getting curious about how anxiety shows up for you, whether it’s racing thoughts, avoidance, tension, or something else. I use approaches like ACT and IFS to help you understand what’s driving the anxiety and build tools to respond differently. Over time you feel more in control and less ruled by fear or overwhelmed.

I help teens and young adults who feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck. Using ACT and IFS, I support insight, healing, and change in a down-to-earth, collaborative space. Outside of sessions, you’ll find me reading, working with clay, or exploring with my husband, two dogs, and our cat.

Managing anxiety begins with us working together to identify the root of the anxiety and working together to develop coping skills. If and when appropriate the application of EMDR to process and place the source of that anxiety into a manageable space in your mind.

For many of my clients, anxiety isn’t just "worrying"—it’s a sophisticated radar system they developed to keep themselves safe. You might find yourself constantly scanning for other people’s moods ("walking on eggshells") or over-preparing for every possible outcome. This is often linked to the "Fawn Response." I work with anxiety by helping you understand why your alarm system is going off, thanking it for trying to protect you, and then teaching you practical skills to dial down the volume so you can relax.
