Therapy for Anxiety, Stress and Social Anxiety
Generalized Anxiety can cause you to feel fearful, overwhelmed and irritable in different aspects of your life. Do you find that you worry about the unknown and expect the worst in different and unfamiliar situations?
Social Anxiety can negatively impact your everyday social functioning and enjoyment of life. This can include distracting you from work, family time and socializing with friends. Are you self-isolating and avoiding spending time with others because you just don't feel comfortable with yourself and are worried about the symptoms you might experience?
Often, these are the symptoms of anxiety:
- Nervousness, restlessness, or being tense
- Feelings of fear and panic.
- Increased heart rate, rapid/shallow breathing or hyperventilation
- Increased or heavy sweating
- Trembling or muscle twitching in arm and legs
- Feeling exhausted and keyed up simultaneously
- Difficulty focusing or thinking clearly "being in a fog" or "foggy brain"
- Being preoccupied with the thought you’re worried about or obsession with certain thoughts
- Insomnia (falling asleep or waking throughout the night)
- Gastrointestinal issues or decreased appetite including stomachaches and frequent trips to the bathroom
- Anxiety surrounding a particular life event or experience that has occurred in the past
My practice offers evidence-based interventions for anxiety. These therapies are based on neuroscience and are complete mind-body approaches. Anxiety treatment can include techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Somatic Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. These modalities can support you with uncovering the underlying causes of your anxious beliefs and provide relief from symptoms.
