Anxiety

Anxiety and fears can be managed through understanding, evidence based approaches and exposure. I am skilled and trained in working to help individuals reduce and cope with anxiety and fear.

I have a great deal of personal and professional experience in navigating different kinds of anxiety disorders. I use a combination of CBT, mindfulness, and psychodynamic principles in my approach to understanding and treating anxiety.

I'd love to work with you to help you tame the never ending loop of thoughts and worries of anxiety. I help people to identify ways that they can stay present, to utilize their senses to help them manage their anxious thoughts.

Anxiety can feel like a gremlin you can’t tame. When working with clients who experince anxiety, we work together to understand what thoughts contribute to anxiety and how to befriend the anxiety gremlin that is unique to you. Together we will reduce anxiety and develop your confidence in yourself, your relationships, and your future.

I utilize a cognitive behavioral approach and dialectical behavioral approach to target anxiety. I have purchased and utilized training resources specifically created for anxiety and intrusive thoughts. Additionally, I have enjoy reading more on the subject and have lived experience.

You just want to be able to stop the negative thoughts and feel like yourself...But you're not sure how to get there. You're good at giving advice & encouragement to your loved ones, but applying it all to yourself is another story. When you try to focus on what you "should" be doing & feeling, it seems to make things worse. You keep falling short of the expectations you put on yourself, causing a spiral into deeper anxiety, shame, & self-judgement. We can reverse this downward spiral together!

Anxiety is such a pervasive part of our modern experience and too many clients tolerate an uncomfortable quality of daily life because of it. There are so many valuable approaches to understanding and alleviating anxious symptoms. By incorporating a somatic lens and excavating negative core beliefs, I work with clients to develop a toolbox to manage the inevitable stress that comes with life's inevitable changes.

Utilizing CBT and SFBT interventions, I work with clients who want to address anxiety that may be impacting their daily functioning, relationships, and interpersonal relationships. I work with client utilizing evidence based treatment as well as problem solving to address symptoms and develop coping skills.

I help clients find grounding techniques and other coping strategies to manage anxiety, then find thought patterns from which the anxiety might be rooted in.

I have provided support to people dealing with anxiety and panic issues. We've been able to reduce symptoms using various methods to uncover the source of anxiety and begin to address those issues.

Anxiety happens when something triggers the body’s fight or flight response. This response is helpful if a tiger leaps out at you. It’s not so helpful if you have to give a speech. At Tempest, our approach to anxiety therapy starts with teaching clients to interrupt this response. Clients learn to reset their brain through a combination of exercises shaped by the neuroscience of anxiety, which reduce symptoms to a manageable level before rewiring the brain to change the response to triggers.

I approach Anxiety through IFS, ACT, and Somatic work. I believe that Anxiety tells us what we care deeply about. In changing our perspective we can approach anxiety differently - from a place of compassionate understanding. It is through compassionate understanding that we relinquish control and heal.

Feeling out of control of your own worried thoughts is exhausting. Anxiety creates, what seems like, an endless cycle of panic and fear. You find yourself constantly bouncing between experiencing intense and overwhelming panic emotions and body sensations and then ruminating how horrible it was to go through a panic attack. You try to avoid the next panic attack by avoiding all things that might make you anxious or even trying to make it look like you have it all together.
