Counseling for Anxiety

That feeling of dread, restlessness, and uneasiness… Some stress is normal and can actually help us to focus and act. When symptoms don’t go away and begin to interfere with our regular functioning, though, we can feel overwhelmed and out of control.

Is anxiety taking over your life? Does it feel like you can’t control it no matter how hard you try? Have you already tried therapy but found it ineffective? If this sounds like you, I’d like to help. I offer evidence-based practices to aid you in getting the relief from anxiety that you deserve.

When it comes to treating anxiety disorders, research shows that therapy is usually the most effective option. That’s because anxiety therapy – as opposed to anxiety medication – treats more than just symptoms to the problem.

Often, these are the symptoms of anxiety:

Nervousness, restlessness or being tense

Feelings of danger, panic or dread

Rapid breathing or hyperventilation

Increased or heavy sweating

Trembling or muscle twitching

Weakness or lethargy

Difficulty focusing or thinking clearly about anything other than the thing you’re worried about

Insomnia or broken sleep

Obsessions about certain ideas, a sign of obsessive-compulsive disorder

Anxiety surrounding a particular life event or experience that has occurred in the past, a sign of post-traumatic stress disorder

Therapy can help to uncover the underlying causes of your worries and fears, learn how to relax, look at situations in a new, less frightening way, and develop better coping mechanisms and problem-solving skills.
