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.

Anxiety includes from panic, nervousness, fear or excessive generalized worry. Sometimes, anxiety is a learned response to feeling that the world is not a safe place. Sometimes, it is challenging to remember what triggered or even initiated feeling unsafe and anxious. Treatment includes developing coping skills as well as identifying what triggers and situations are producing to anxiety.

Life throws curve balls that often knock us down and leave us blindsided–however, painful and difficult experiences do not have to define the essence of you as a person; rather those experiences can be a starting point to creating a more authentic, connected version of yourself. I have experience working with couples/relationship issues, families, children, adolescents, and adults.

Anxiety is very common. My anxiety knowledge includes the training I've used for about 9 years. I utilize CBT, Brainspotting, and Neurofeedback theories to treat it. Anxiety holds us back from achieving what we want to achieve because of panic attacks, automatic negative thoughts, distorted cognitions, etc. Utilizing the coping skills and going deeper in the parts of our brain where anxiety resides heals those symptoms.

Anxiety is our way of telling us that we are out of control and we feel afraid. Deepening our understanding of the experience of anxiety often lessens its impact. Doing so can be scary and that is why I am here to partner with you in the process. I integrate EMDR with parts work to lessen anxiety's impact on your daily life and live more present in each day.

I work with people who are navigating the tension between what feels most aligned with who they are & the pressures/expectations from external factors like family, communities, & society. Unfortunately, many people experience feelings of shame or confusion during this process, making it difficult to embrace their true selves (values, beliefs, identity, passions, preferences) & causing them to settle for a life that doesn’t reflect what’s truly important to them.

Children & Teens: Therapy doesn't have to feel scary or stigmatized. I know it's hard understanding trauma at a young age. I get it. I know you want to leave the past in the past and move forward, but may struggle with flashbacks, anxiety, depression, and self-worth. You can have the skills to cope with the events that have occurred. In my office, you will feel valued and comforted in knowing you have landed with a therapist who values who you truly are and recognizes your strengths.

Anxiety is fairly common and absolutely treatable. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is often the first approach to bring quick relief. However, some individuals also benefit from a deeper look within to understand his or her symptoms. I have worked with generalized anxiety and individuals suffering from panic attacks.

Are you tired of feeling anxious, stressed, and overwhelmed more than they want to be? Life can be tough enough. At times people may think you have it all together even though you feel like a mess inside. Other times you may feel paralyzed by relatively small decisions. People may say you're too high strung, stressed, or intense. I want to get to know who you are and share realistic and do-able techniques to increase your sense of resilience, positivity, and well-being.

My clients tend to have heard they "should" have more gratitude, self care, courage, vulnerability, love, etc. but can't seem to make it happen. Most of them have been through something and lost their old spark, energy, health, hope, or even desire to be around people. No amount of Brené Brown, yoga, manifesting positive things, etc. has truly helped them deeply care and love again. They're burned out, politics and news are draining them, and they need some help coming back to life.

You may be feeling overwhelmed with all of life's changes, expectations, and responsibilities. You don't feel like anyone really gets you, and you don't know yourself that well either. You have been working so hard to stay above water and look like you have it together. You have hit your breaking and do not want to feel this way anymore.

My clients come to learn to accept all 'parts' of themselves, and release what no longer serves. They are individualists, empaths, seekers, rebels with a cause. They're responsible consciousness explorers, spiritual and non-ordinary 'experiencers.' They are mind-body-spirit and energetically-aware, seekers of progressive and practical holistic healing. They're about raising their vibration and embodying their true purpose. Ultimately, they're after greater wholeness and integration.
