Counseling for Anxiety
Is anxiety taking over your life? Does it feel like you can’t control it no matter how hard you try? Does constant thinking keep you in a state of paralysis? Is it impacting your ability to go out and live your life?
If this sounds like you, I can help. Together, we can cultivate skills to overcome anxiety and step back into the life you want to live.
When it comes to treating anxiety, research shows that therapy is usually the most effective option. I believe this is because of the collaborative nature of therapy. I offer skills as well as companionship so we can work together to come up with solutions that work for you.
Often, these are the symptoms of anxiety:
- Nervousness, restlessness, or being tense
- Feelings of danger, panic, or dread
- Rapid breathing or tightness in the chest
- Increased or heavy sweating
- Ruminating thoughts about the future
- Difficulty thinking clearly about anything other than the thing you’re worried about
- Insomnia
- Obsessions about certain ideas
- Anxiety surrounding a particular life event or experience that has occurred in the past
Therapy can help to uncover the underlying causes of your worries and fears, and learn how to relax. You can learn to look at situations in a new, less frightening way, and develop better coping mechanisms and problem-solving skills.
