Anxiety

Maybe you find yourself having the same worries over and over again, or feel trapped in your own mind and just want the anxious thoughts to stop. If you are struggling with anxiety, you are not alone. Millions of people worldwide experience anxiety, and it can feel overwhelming and debilitating. However, there is hope.

I can help with:

• General anxiety and worry

• Social anxiety

• Panic attacks

My Approach:

I typically start with cognitive behavioral therapy for anxiety. That means, we will work together to identify the thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that are contributing to your anxiety. Then, we will develop strategies to challenge and change these patterns. In therapy, I will provide you with tools to help you manage the anxiety. These will include:

• Psychoeducation: learning about the nature of anxiety and how it affects thoughts, emotions, and behaviors

• Self-monitoring: keeping track of anxious thoughts, physical sensations, and behaviors to identify triggers and patterns

• Cognitive restructuring: identifying and challenging unhelpful and negative thoughts that contribute to anxiety

• Relaxation techniques: learning and practicing relaxation exercises such as deep breathing and progressive muscle relaxation

At the end of our work together, you will have a toolbox of skills you can use to to take control of your anxiety, change stuck patterns, and feel better.
