Counseling for Anxiety

Do you ask yourself any of these questions?

  • “What if something goes wrong?”
  • “Am I prepared for this?”
  • “What if I embarrass myself?”
  • “Why do I feel like this?”
  • “What’s the worst that could happen?”
  • “Can I handle this situation?”
  • “Is there a way out of this?”
  • “Am I safe right now?”
  • “Why is my heart racing?”
  • “What if I can’t control my feelings?”
  • “Is this feeling ever going to go away?”
  • “What if I’m not good enough?”
  • “How can I make this feeling stop?”
  • “What if people judge me?”
  • “Why do I feel so out of breath?”
  • “Is there something wrong with me?”
  • “What can I do to calm down?”
  • “Will this anxiety last forever?”
  • “What triggered this feeling?”
  • “Can anyone else tell that I’m anxious?”

Our therapy together will include:

  • Assessment and goal setting
  • Educating you about anxiety and how it affects your stress system and how to distinguish between normal and excessive anxiety
  • I will help you identify any negative beliefs you hold
  • I will help you confront your fears instead of avoid them
  • I will teach you relaxation techniques
  • I will teach you effective problem-solving strategies to manage stressors and life challenges that contribute to anxiety

Please contact me today and I can help you with your feelings of anxiety with empathy and understanding, offering support and choosing the best modality to help you resolve these disturbing feelings.
