Anxiety Disorders

Dread infiltrates your entire body.

Heart thumping uncomfortably – breath coming quick and shallow – tension that spreads all over.

This feeling is nothing new, but it still feels awful every time.

Dread is a constant companion in your life. It’s a feeling that settles itself deep in your body and blooms when you find yourself faced with uncertainty and fear.

You feel dread in your body and experience it in your mind – anxiety’s effects are far-reaching.

Simply coping doesn’t stop the worry.

So, you do your best to handle the anxiety, the best way you know how – to worry and avoid.

Constantly worrying is exhausting, but at least it helps you stay on your toes.

Avoiding anxiety has led to missed opportunities, but at least you don’t have to be in that discomfort.

What price are you paying?

However, sometimes the cons of worrying and avoiding outweigh the pros.

When did you begin to live your life based on anxiety’s rules?

What does it cost you in the long run?

Perhaps it’s time for a fresh approach, one not based on worrying and avoiding.

Therapy provides an alternative approach.

Therapy provides a glimpse into a life that is not dictated by anxiety.

While working with me, we will explore factors in your life that may “grow” anxiety.

Using research-supported therapeutic techniques, such as Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Exposure-Response Prevention (ERP), you can learn coping skills that will help you challenge and face anxiety instead of running from it.

Dread and avoidance no longer rule your life.

Let’s fast forward to a different life – therapy provided you with skills to overcome anxiety.

You feel your heart thumping uncomfortably, breath coming quick and shallow, the tension in your body; but now, you move forward instead of standing still.

Anxiety is no longer allowed to run your life. You do things now that you usually avoided.

And it doesn’t even hit you until later – the anxiety left, allowing for more joy and confidence.

Let’s explore and address your anxiety.

Together, we will find a better way, one that allows you to live fully without worry and dread.
