Therapy for Anxiety, Stress and Social Anxiety

Generalized Anxiety can cause panic, fearfulness, overwhelm and irritability in different aspects of your life. Do you find that you worry about the unknown and expect the worst in different and unfamiliar situations?

Social Anxiety can negatively impact your everyday social functioning and enjoyment of life. You may feel distracted from work, time with family and when socializing with friends. Are you self-isolating and avoiding spending time with others?

I want you to feel  comfortable, relaxed and confident with yourself so you can enjoy fun times with friends and family.

Often, these are the symptoms of anxiety and panic:

  • Nervousness, restlessness, or being tense
  • Feelings of fear and panic.
  • Increased heart rate, rapid/shallow breathing or hyperventilation
  • Increased or heavy sweating
  • Trembling or muscle twitching in arm and legs
  • Feeling exhausted and keyed up simultaneously
  • Difficulty focusing or thinking clearly “being in a fog” or “foggy brain”
  • Being preoccupied with the thought you’re worried about or obsession with certain thoughts
  • Insomnia (falling asleep or waking throughout the night)
  • Gastrointestinal issues or decreased appetite including stomachaches and frequent trips to the bathroom
  • Anxiety surrounding a particular life event or experience that has occurred in the past

My practice offers evidence-based interventions for anxiety and panic. These therapies are based on neuroscience and are complete mind-body approaches. Anxiety treatment can include techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Somatic Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. These modalities can support you with uncovering the underlying causes of your anxious beliefs and provide relief from symptoms.

Learn how to relax your body when it’s feeling activated, manage worry thoughts and develop better coping strategies to solve your problems. You can experience greater ease when socializing with others rather than avoiding these opportunities. I believe that feeling confident and calm is part of living your best life.
