Feeling Stuck​

 

You just want to be happy, but your mind won't seem to stop. Anxiety keeps filling your mind with endless To Do Lists, worries, "what if's," and terrifying worst-case scenarios. At times, anxiety may even totally take over your body out of nowhere. Suddenly, you have the urge to run even though nothing dangerous is happening. You try to control it, sometimes in ways that don't seem to make any sense. But nothing seems to work in the long run. You're tired of feeling out of control. You wish you could just relax and feel normal. You'd like to be present and actually experience life instead of just getting through it. You'd like to feel like yourself, your true self.

 

What if you didn't have to keep working so hard to "manage" anxiety? What if you could have lasting peace of mind? What if you could even experience deep, genuine happiness as your most authentic self? I believe these things are possible for you.

I specialize in individual counseling for women as well as members of the LGBTQ+ community struggling with anxiety who want deep, lasting peace of mind. My ideal client is someone who is not looking for a band-aid, but rather looking to get to the roots of anxiety and find a path for authentic happiness. I do not work with children, couples, or families. I can help you find greater happiness, peace of mind, and freedom from stress and anxiety related to things like:

​

  • Stress (e.g. overwhelm with work, family relationships etc.)​

  • Panic Attacks

  • Generalized Anxiety

  • PTSD or trauma (e.g. physical or sexual assault, natural disaster, car accident, illness or injury, pregnancy loss)

  • OCD (e.g. obsessive checking or washing)

  • Phobias or Fears such as flying, driving, public speaking, dogs, medical or dental anxiety

  • Childhood Issues (e.g. history of physical or sexual abuse, difficult family relationships)

​​Tips for dealing with anxiety

​

  • Deep breathing. Breathe in counting to 5, and out counting to 7 as long as you like. Anytime you breathe out longer than you breathe in, it helps to activate the parasympathetic nervous system and slow down your body.

  • Focus on your 5 senses. Come out of your whirling thoughts into the present by noticing 5 things you can see, 5 things you can hear, 5 things you can feel. You may count everything blue or red around you.

  • Grounding. Notice both feet on the ground and the earth holding you up. Imagine a golden cord stretching from the sky, running through your body, and connecting you firmly to the ground.

  • Remember that your brain is doing it's job to keep you safe. You might even tell it, "Thanks mind."

  • Remember that anxiety is not permanent. All feelings come and go. It won't last forever, and even though it's uncomfortable, it's not dangerous.

  • Imagine letting the anxiety pass through you like a wave. Watch it rise and eventually fall. Sometimes trying to fight against it can make it seem worse.

  • Remind yourself of helpful thoughts like:

    • This will end. It has always ended before.

    • This feeling is uncomfortable, but it can't hurt me. I'm ok right now.
