Feeling Overwhelmed by Anxiety?
You’re Not Alone
Anxiety can be all-consuming, making even everyday tasks feel daunting. Do you find yourself burdened by persistent worry, hindered by panic attacks, or held back by social fears? Perhaps past traumas, intrusive thoughts, or repetitive behaviors have taken control of your life.
If this resonates with you, know that anxiety doesn’t have to define you. With the right support and evidence-based therapy, you can regain balance, confidence, and peace of mind.
Understanding & Treating Anxiety
Anxiety is more than fleeting stress or worry—it’s a pervasive sense of unease that can impact how you think, feel, and function. Common symptoms include restlessness, difficulty concentrating, trouble sleeping, irritability, and physical discomfort like muscle tension or a rapid heartbeat. While these feelings can be overwhelming, the good news is that anxiety is highly treatable, and with professional help, relief is within reach.
I specialize in treating a range of anxiety disorders, including:
Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD)
Chronic worry about everyday situations.
Panic Disorder
Recurring panic attacks that disrupt your sense of calm.
Social Anxiety Disorder
Fear and discomfort in social settings.
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
Intrusive thoughts and compulsive behaviors that interfere with daily life.
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
Lingering distress from past trauma.
Specific Phobias
Intense fear of particular objects or situations.
Personalized, Evidence-Based Approach
Every individual’s experience with anxiety is unique, which is why I tailor treatment to meet your specific needs.
My approach includes
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Reframing negative thought patterns to foster healthier thinking and behaviors.
Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP)
Gradual exposure to triggers to help reduce fear and avoidance, especially for OCD.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Encouraging you to accept emotions while focusing on personal values and goals.
To support long-term recovery, I integrate mindfulness techniques, relaxation strategies, and lifestyle adjustments into therapy.
Stress & Burnout
Stress
Stress is the body’s response to various situations and challenges. However, it tends to be unhealthy when it becomes chronic. Long-term stress can potentially affect a person’s mental, physical, and emotional health. A few symptoms of chronic stress include constant fatigue, intolerance, memory lapses, and even insomnia. In the long run, it might result in anxiety, depression, high blood pressure, or a weak immune system.
Stress management therapy works towards identifying the issue and coming up with a coping mechanism. Clients can consider altering their perceptions through cognitive reframing or using relaxation techniques to change their reactions towards stress. Additionally, therapy allows the person to improve their time management skills and learn how to set healthy boundaries and take some time for themselves – this is proven to reduce stress and improve one’s health in the long run. Stress management support trains a person to deal with various life challenges and improve their confidence making them more in control of themselves and the surrounding environment.
Burnout
Burnout can be summed up as a state of emotional, physical and mental exhaustion which is often related to stress induced by work or caregiving. It takes away energies, leaving one feeling tired, outclassed and helpless, therefore hindering one’s effective functioning. In such patients, symptoms of fatigue, irritation, loss of productivity, mental fog or depression might occur.
For addressing burnout, all risk factors as well as its symptoms have to be managed. There are effective methods that consist of CBT where therapists assist their clients in recognizing their faulty ideas, learning to say no, and managing their stress.
