Is anxiety taking over your life? Does it feel like you can’t control it no matter how hard you try?
I work with people with a variety of treatment approaches to help find what works best for reducing your experience of anxiety. Anxiety can somtimes be more a "symptom" of something else being experienced in your life that is not yet within conscious awareness. I help you explore what might be "driving" your anxiety and find ways to work with it in order for you to live with more peace.
Some symptoms of anxiety:
- Nervousness, restlessness, or being tense
- Feelings of danger, panic, or dread
- Rapid breathing or hyperventilation
- Increased or heavy sweating
- Trembling or muscle twitching
- Weakness or lethargy
- Difficulty focusing or thinking clearly about anything other than the thing you’re worried about
- Insomnia
- Obsessions about certain ideas; a sign of obsessive-compulsive disorder
- Anxiety surrounding a particular life event or experience that has occurred in the past; a sign of post-traumatic stress disorder
Therapy can help to uncover the underlying causes of your worries and fears, learn how to relax, look at situations in a new, less frightening way, and develop better coping mechanisms and problem-solving skills.
