Are you constantly on edge or have a feeling of unease?
Do you overthink, constantly predicting worst-case scenarios and trying to find solutions?
Do you find it hard to shut off your mind?

General anxiety happens across a broad range of situations and has a few important characteristics:

•  Overestimating threats:
  • "What if there's traffic, I arrive late, and I get fired"
  • "I wonder if this stomach pain is cancer"
  • "I'm going to fail this test and never find a good job"
    
    
• Underestimating ability to cope:
  • "I won't be able to handle it"
  • "I don't know what to do"
  • "I'll lose control and go crazy"
    
    
• Physical symptoms:
  • Muscle tension and fatigue
  • Heart racing and palpitations
  • Sweating, nausea, irritable bowel syndrome
    
    
• Avoidance and safety behaviors:
  • "I'm going to leave an hour early to make sure I arrive early"
  • "I'm going to go to the doctor one more time, even though she said everything was fine last week"
  • "Even though I know I have plenty of time to study and prepare, it doesn't feel that way. I'm going to cancel plans with friends"

Take back control from anxiety:

I provide confidential and practical therapy using CBT. Many clients suffering from anxiety notice a considerable difference in just a few sessions.

I help alleviate anxiety by assisting clients:

• Uncover and change behaviors that keep us hooked in the vicious cycle of anxiety.
• Discover new ways to respond to anxiety provoking thoughts and start building new helpful thought patterns.
• Build confidence in themselves, their social skills, and their ability to handle uncomfortable and challenging social interactions.
