What's your experience with clients with anxiety?
As a therapist in private practice, the bulk of my work has been with clients who struggle with anxiety and depression. The thoughts, experiences, and feelings that come with anxiety and depression are palpable and often times when we are struggling through it alone, it can feel like there is no light at the end of the tunnel. Individual therapy is a great tool to address these challenges. In my work with those struggling with anxiety, panic, and depression my client explore the root of their experience as well as learn and practice new ways to cope and respond to their triggers.

How do you work with clients with anxiety?
Do your anxious thoughts rule your day? Maybe you are experiencing panic attacks, or perhaps you can't stop thinking about the worst-case scenario. You may be struggling with excessive and uncontrollable worry, or simply having problems concentrating at work, school, or at home. Perhaps you are feeling lost and confused. What it is that you are experiencing you're beginning to notice the impact of this in every facet of your life" Struggling to stay focused at home, work, or school Cannot sleep at night You feel like you can't relax It may feel impossible now, but you can be confident again. You can trust yourself. You can thrive. And I can help you get there. I'll help you through this process, tailoring each step to your unique needs and circumstances. My approach to anxiety counseling comes from a place of hope and understanding: believing that you are not the "problem", but that it's simply the cycle you're in that needs fixing.
You want to thrive and trust yourself, but it feels like an impossible task. Don't you wish you had the tools to change that? You've come to the right place. I'm Kimberly, and I help women and teens just like you: ones that have it within them to feel confident, secure, and thrive, but just need the support to get there. I help my clients find confidence, fulfillment, and values by equipping them with the tools they need to better understand themselves and thrive. Many of today's solutions for anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem are changing negative thoughts, leading many to feel misunderstood and like they are not making real progress. I know that your circumstances are unique, so I help you gain introspection by tailoring therapy to you, and always with an end goal in mind. My training in anxiety and depression means, y I have the expertise you need and deserve when feeling confident about yourself. But at the end of the day, you want to know you are working with someone who "gets" what it means to be a teen or woman struggling with anxiety and depression right? I get it because I have lived it myself. I know that sometimes you just want to quit. So when we work together, you won't just get a trained therapist, you'll get someone who truly understands what you are going through.

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.

You have to be willing to LISTEN above all else. Reassure them that anxiety is a valid feeling, and then work alongside them to identify early onset triggers and symptoms, and come up with an action plan to mitigate these symptoms.
