Anxiety

Are you overwhelmed by life?

Are you juggling the responsibilities of work, parenting, maintaining relationships and more? Do you frequently feel as though you’re falling short in everything you do? Perhaps your work-life balance is off, but you don’t know how to slow down, reset or begin reevaluating your priorities.

Sometimes anxiety’s hard to identify.

Do you have stomach issues, sweating, trembling, loss of breath, chest pain, sleep issues, eating problems, dizziness or even panic attacks?

It could be the anxiety. To quiet these anxiety symptoms, you may be overindulging in computer use, TV or another temporary distraction that doesn’t ultimately resolve your distress. It’s possible you’ve tried to feel better, but the negative thought cycles return, leaving you feeling like nothing is going to help.

Anxiety therapy can help you thrive

Anxiety treatment can be incredibly effective in helping you identify triggers to distress and learn effective ways to not just manage them, but lessen and even completely overcome them.

Because anxiety is so common, in the healthcare profession, we know a lot about how stress affects the mind and body.

Today, there are a number of different techniques available to treat anxiety.

In therapy, we’ll figure out what’s fueling your anxiety.

From there, we’ll craft strategies you can use to free yourself from the cycles of stress.

Situations that set off angry outbursts also trigger the fight/flight response. This response is designed to help the body respond to the threat your mind perceives. As you experience the fight/flight response, a physiological chain reaction automatically begins in the body. Adrenaline releases, the heart rate increases and blood flow diverts to muscles, along with many other changes that take place to prepare the body to defend itself. However, you may be experiencing this intense physical and emotional reaction when danger is not actually present. The continual arousal you experience from getting angry is not good for your physical or emotional well being.

Anger therapy can help you find a long-term healing and relief.

As a therapist who specializes in treating anger issues, I can help you have healthy responses to upsetting situation, maintain better relationships and improve your overall health. Together, we will find out what is at the root of your anger and heal it there. The therapy I offer is more than anger management. Rather than simply developing tools to manage negative feelings, it provides a way to get to the root cause and to resolve it.

Recovering from a trauma takes time and individuals heal at their own speed. Over time, the shock of the event may dissipate as well as nightmares or intruding memories. It is important that the individual or victim of a trauma receive support from friends and family. Individuals who continue to experience symptoms that interfere with their lives should seek professional help.

What is most important in treating trauma is creating a safe environment where the individual can openly share past memories. Individuals may carry shame or embarrassment, so I do not judge but create a warm and trusting alliance.
