About

Anxiety symptoms are awful- racing heart, restless, short of breath, dizzy, headache, stomach issues, tearful, exhausted, insomnia, panic. Trips to the ER thinking there is something really wrong with you. Thoughts of dread, doom, worry. Am I going insane? Feeling like you are out of your body, disconnected, distorted thoughts. Sweating, shaking, can't concentrate, forget things, recurrent thoughts. Irritable, nervous, angry, sad, hopeless. Why is this happening to you? The uneasiness magnifies. You start to avoid places, activities, fearing it will trigger the sensations. The suffering at times feels unbearable. I get it. I can help. Together we explore the ways your brain and body respond to threat; how you behave when it shows up for you in your life. I introduce cognitive and somatic interventions to release anxious thoughts and invite calm and joy into daily activities. I provide a variety of resources you can use between therapy sessions to expedite relief.
