How Do You Experience Anxiety?

Anxiety therapy targets the root cause and promotes lasting healing. Anxiety can show up in may ways, what does it look like for you?

Panic attacks can feel debilitating. Sometimes they may come out of no where, leading to additional fears of their return. As an Anxiety and Panic Counselor, I will help you identify triggers and work through a way for reducing the frequency and intensity of these attacks over time.

Fear of Leaving Places That Feel Safe, Like Home or Familiar Places.

General Anxiety Counseling for chronic or frequent worrying. Counseling for worry and general anxiety helps you develop ways to detach from these worries and develop more adaptive thinking patterns in their place.

Distressing, unwanted thoughts or images with urges to do things to avoid distress, get rid of unwanted images/thoughts, or to prevent bad things from happening. Chronic doubt and need for reassurance.

Intense fear and anxiety of certain things, places, situations, or objects. This could be fear of flying, driving, being in small spaces… Just about anything really.

Do you struggle to connect and engage in meaningful relationship as a result of avoiding social situations/interactions and experience overwhelming anxiety when talking to certain people? Counseling for social anxiety can be helpful for developing social skills, create new ways of thinking, taking steps to expand your comfort sone, and developing a new relationship to anxiety so it doesn’t control your desire to connect with others.

Avoidance is a common issue related to anxiety. It may seem logical that if something causes you to feel anxious, distressed, or otherwise uncomfortable that it’s helpful to avoid it. However, this is how anxiety builds its strength. Working with an Anxiety Counselor will help you understand the cycle avoidance plays in driving your anxiety.

Doubting your accomplishments and abilities can keep you from leading your life or career with the confidence you deserve. People struggling with imposter syndrome often fear they will somehow be exposed as a “fraud”, leading to a host of issues related to performance, confidence, and building meaningful relationships.

Always setting the bar higher and higher, discounting your accomplishments, procrastination, abandoning projects, fear of failure, and avoiding promotions or opportunities.

Dismissing your boundaries out of fear of letting others down, trying to do it all and be it all for everyone all the time.

Common Symptoms of Anxiety

Anxiety therapy with me helps you identify what’s maintaining your anxiety and provide helpful ways for untangling it for good. Not everyone experiences anxiety the exact same way. These are some of the most common symptoms that often appear in clusters. The mind and body connection is important to explore and understand when addressing anxiety in counseling. Together, I will help you identify the most bothersome experiences to regain your sense of calm and well-being.
