Learn how to change what you can and let go of the rest.
Waiting for the next threat to show up is exhausting.
Have you spent one too many midnight hours googling the difference between an anxiety attack and a panic attack? If you spend most days eyeing your future with suspicion, despair, and fear, it’s probably getting harder to shrug it off or work it away.
I can help you overcome those feelings.
Stress and anxiety are a pesky pair; they show up together like peanut butter and jelly, with that same gritty, sticky texture. Do you ever get that heavy, thick feeling in your mouth that keeps you from speaking up and makes it harder to swallow? Or maybe you’ve felt the sense of dread that sticks to the inside of your chest like a PB&J clings to your fingers.
Stress can come at us from the inside or the outside.
Stress and anxiety can start with light alcohol or drug use which can escalate until it’s a full blown problem. That’s when counseling can help. If you’re feeling like the stress is unmanageable or even unbearable, we need to get to the source of that stress. Finding solutions that actually work means that we’ll have to find changes you’re willing to make and stick with. I know that sounds daunting, but I’m going to support you in this process. If the way you’re doing things now isn’t working for you, then let’s find something that will.
Let’s restore your peace of mind.
I believe that you are doing the best you can AND that you need to learn new ways of doing things so you’ll feel better.
Those two things can both be true.
Fortunately, we can reconstruct our lives and train ourselves to heal. I will give you a variety of strategies you can choose from to build your recovery toolbox. I have specialized training in therapies that combat stress and anxiety. The methods I use are supported by research and trusted by the therapeutic community because they work.
If you’ve never known peace of mind, we will change that.
I will guide you through making manageable changes by helping you recognize the things you can change, and work with you on changing your relationship with the things you cannot change.
Willingness makes change possible.
When you realize how much time and energy it sucks out of your life to be in a constant state of stress and anxiety, you may want to give change a try. For many people, the suggestion of change is a put-up-your-dukes word - it feels like a personal attack.
Honestly, it’s just the opposite.
There’s a reason why change is the focus of so many hashtags. That reason is summed up in one pithy axiom:
If nothing changes, nothing changes.
I’m here to support you as you take control of how you think and feel.
Reach out today for a complementary 15-minute exploratory call.
Here are some of the things we will accomplish together:
Retrain your brain.
We can actually retrain your brain to automatically reframe distressing thoughts and feelings so you’ll have the ability to respond rather than react to your own thoughts.
Manage the discomfort.
We will reduce the power your feelings have over your ability to function. I will show you manageable ways to deal with anger, frustration, resentment, and irritability when you land in uncomfortable situations.
Control the impact.
We will lessen the impact stress and anxiety have on your life, internally and externally, and create a list of healing strategies that will get you through hard days.
