Relief From Anxiety, Stress and Worry

We all feel anxiety, stress, and worry at times. For about 20% of adults, these feelings can become overwhelming.

The good news is, anxiety, stress, and worry respond very well to treatment, often resolving within 12 weeks.

In addition to general stress and worry, I treat most anxiety disorders including:
  • Generalized Anxiety
  • Social Anxiety (Social Phobia)
  • Panic Attacks
  • Phobias
  • PTSD


Treatment


Today, many people believe that anxiety is a physical problem that must be treated with medication. However, most anxiety begins with a thought. While each person's thoughts are different, they often boil down to "I can't handle this." A lack of self-confidence is at the heart of the problem.

I integrate Cognitive Therapy, EMDR, and Hypnotherapy to uncover the undermining beliefs that fuel your anxiety. Together, we work to understand how these beliefs came to be, and what beliefs would serve you better. Then we work on a plan of thought AND action to help you embrace your strengths restoring confidence, self-esteem and feelings of joy and ease as soon as possible.
