In our modern culture, with so many stressors, it’s easy to become overwhelmed. Research shows that anxiety and anxiety-related symptoms are dramatically on the rise. This may not be surprising given all we cope with in our over-busy, pressured lives! But what can you do about it?

If you are experiencing anxiety — whether in specific situations, or in more general ways that interfere with your daily life — I can offer you significant tools to help. My approach is holistic — I look at all areas that may be contributing to these issues, including:

• Personal habits – Your patterns of exercise, nutrition, sleep, and use of social media and electronic devices.
• Current stressors – Your job, health, home life and relationships.
• Patterns of thinking and behavior – Your self-talk, personal beliefs, and ingrained expectations and reactions.
• Social and cultural factors – How well you feel supported by the culture you live in, and your social systems of support.

Within our first session I can usually identify the main areas to work with, and I partner with you to develop an initial plan for improving your symptoms.

There are many things in life we can’t control, but we can do something about anxiety and anxiety-related symptoms. Just taking that first step to seek professional guidance might help you breathe... a sigh of relief!
