How do you work with clients with anxiety?
Effective anxiety treatment focuses on the worry thoughts, emotions, behaviors and physical symptoms. This is a total mind-body approach because stress really does make us feel sick. I’m a Certified Clinical Anxiety Professional and will support you with your goal of decreasing anxiety. Maybe you want to feel more social and less avoidance. Or you feel irritable, overwhelmed and overthink in some situations. You will learn ways to challenge negative thoughts, regulate fear and stop self-defeating behaviors. We can use CBT, DBT and EMDR therapies. These are treatments that have been extensively researched and proven effective. 
Are you ready to make some changes? I’m a therapist with 25+ years of experience. I help clients with anxiety and trauma develop new skills and insights to feel calmer, confident and in control. If you are struggling with feeling fearful, nervous, overwhelmed, irritable and physically ill, I can help. Therapy can provide you with the tools to be your authentic self, improve relationships and just feel better.  I’m Certified in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing and am a Certified Clinical Anxiety Professional and a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (Level II). I would love to speak with you about any questions you have and what you’d like to accomplish in therapy. I offer a free 15 minute phone consultation to see if we’d work well together. Let’s chat today.

What's your experience with clients with anxiety?
I have worked with individuals struggling with anxiety and Panic for 13 yrs and have seen a range of people from feeling helped by implementing a self-care routine (without medication), to of course managing with medication, to needing hospitalization due to not functioning at home. What I offer that can create positive results: *Mindfulness practices to remind your brain to refocus on the present moment. You mind can only focus on one thing. If it is focused on the present, it cannot be reliving the past or worrying about the future. Your body follows where your mind is. Staying in the present moment is really effective in decreasing activation in your body from anxiety. *Somatic Awareness to name how the anxiety presents itself in the body (your body) through physical symptoms. By knowing your emotions this way we can more easily recognize when we shift into that emotion (identify triggers) as well as what actions help to deactivate or balance that emotion (coping skills). *Art Therapy to reflect our inner world, into something we can see. This allows us to make new observations and process our experience in a different way than talk therapy can offer.
I believe that everyone has the power within them to create positive shifts in the way one experiences and expresses their emotions, in turn creating positive shifts and experiencing their world around them. My intention is to help you uncover your power. I have worked as an Art Therapist since 2009 in the mental health and substance abuse fields. Most recently, I have worked in an acute psychiatric hospital setting for the past 9yrs and have been in private practice for 5yrs. I am proud to have assisted 2 organizations in developing their first Art Therapy programs. In private practice I work mainly with adults who struggle with anxiety and/or depression. We practice mindfulness and somatic awareness skills together with art therapy to minimize the barriers that anxiety and depression create in my client's lives.
