Do you feel controlled by your panic attacks and fears? Are they limiting your life by dictating where you go and who you talk to? These symptoms are real and they are treatable. I have helped many clients leave their panic and fears behind with Exposure Therapy. This Treatment is highly effective and can help with common issues such as Panic Attacks, Social Anxiety, Emetophobia (fear of throwing up), presentations, raising your hand in class, and even various symptoms of PTSD.

Do these sound like your thoughts:? "I'm not good enough" "I always say the wrong thing" "My boss wants to meet with me, I must be getting fired" And would you describe yourself as having "spiraling thoughts" or "always thinking of the worst case scenario"? If so CBT might be right for you. CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) is the idea that we cannot control our Feelings, but we become aware of take more control of our Thoughts and Actions. When we learn how to do that, our feelings follow.

I often hear "I don't know if this counts as trauma" "It wasn't as bad as others have it" "I should be over it by now" "I don't want to burden anyone". Trauma is feeling distress from an overwhelming event. One person's trauma might not be another person's, but it is *always* valid. When we experience trauma, our brains don't know how to "file" it and it can come out in so many ways. That's where therapy comes in - a safe place for you to refile and learn to cope with the symptoms.

Are spiraling thoughts your norm? Are you up at night thinking about what you said, *that* situation from the day before, or everything you have to do tomorrow? Have you ever been told "you always think of the worst case scenario!" Worse, do you struggle with panic attacks that seem to come out of nowhere or have a phobia that keeps you from participating in your daily life? I have worked with 100's of clients to reduce symptoms, change thoughts, and improve lives. Reach out to me today!

You try so hard to keep the peace. You don't want to "rock the boat" and desperately want others to like you. But recently you're realizing that you've been putting other people first for years, so much so, that you've forgotten to take care of yourself. That's where our work together comes in. Are you ready to learn to trust your own voice and shed the message that you have to please others to have happy relationships? Email me today!
