Feeling a certain level of anxiety over big stressors or certain life events is totally normal. However, if you find that your fear or worry does not go away and, in fact, gets worse over time, you may be suffering from an anxiety disorder. Mild anxiety is vague and unsettling and often passes quickly, while severe anxiety can seriously affect your day-to-day life. If you are finding your anxiety unmanageable, can’t identify the cause of your anxious feelings or if you are suffering from physical symptoms (such as heart palpations, fatigue, sweaty hands, upset stomach, or insomnia), it may be time to get help. Reach out to one of TherapyDen’s anxiety specialists today.
Life is difficult when dealing with physical health, family or marital situations, dating hardships, work conflict and/or past life experiences.

We live in a very challenging environment in this present day. If you find yourself wanting to learn ways to cope, I'll be happy to walk this journey with you.

Are you someone who is looking for an environment to better understand their identity and roles within the world, community and family? Walking through life feeling uprooted and lost is difficult. Whether that is due to microaggressions, hostile political climate, “ism’s” or difficult family beliefs and expectations.
