Anxiety THERAPY
Anxiety Therapy From a Therapist You Can Trust
A shout out to my perfectionists, worry warts, and those with the superhero power to make a mountain out of every molehill. Congratulations, you're probably anxious. Welcome!
Anxiety symptoms show up differently in everyone. Some folks notice negative self-talk, ruminating thoughts and racing thoughts. Other folks experience more body symptoms and sensations, such as headaches, stomachaches and muscle tension. The truth is, if you experience anxiety, you probably experience both types of anxiety at different times, different intensities and different durations.
But don't worry! I'm here to help you worry less and find your inner badass.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for anxiety
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is a common method of treating anxiety and depression.
It's all about interrupting those anxious thoughts, getting to the bottom of your mood, and really shifting those anxious behaviours you've made a pattern of. Cognitive therapy is an evidence-based approach, but let's talk it through in a little more detail.

What Causes Different Types of Anxiety?
Anxiety affects us all differently. It may be a long-term issue, occur in specific situations, or just come and go for no rhyme or reason. Whether you have it mild or severe, I know how it can impact your ability to live your life to the fullest.
So, why are you feeling this way?
Lots of different reasons can cause anxiety. You may be feeling anxious about starting a new job, ending a relationship (or starting a new one), or maybe there's no obvious cause for the way you're feeling, which can sometimes make your anxiety worse.
Whether you have a good idea of what causes your anxious thoughts or feel none the wiser, we can get to the bottom of it and interrupt those feelings together.

Shortness of breath or shallow breathing

If you answered yes to any of the above, let's chat.
Therapy treatment for anxiety
The treatment of anxiety includes the treatment of your mind and body. To reduce negative self-talk and flooding of emotions, we will use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to treat your anxiety symptoms.
However, it's also important to maintain a healthy and balanced lifestyle, including good sleep hygiene, physical activity, healthy nutrition and hydration, and pleasant activities (that's the technical term for having a little fun)!
Therapy isn't something you should fear; psychotherapy with me is all about getting to the root causes of your mind and body's unhealthy patterns and giving you actionable advice on coping with them. I'm not here to give you unhelpful advice and short-term support; we're in it together for the long haul.
Are you looking For Professional CBT and Anxiety Treatment?
There are lots of different types of anxiety; it could be something that hangs over your head and controls your everyday life or something that makes you feel worried in certain situations (like a fear of flying or public speaking).
If relaxation techniques and mindfulness aren't working, it's time to look for some hard-hitting treatment options. That's where I come in (if you live in Georgia or Michigan)
