Therapy for Anxiety
In Beacon, NY & online across New York & Florida
It feels like the weight of the world is on your shoulders
Thinking about every detail over and over again. You can’t figure out the right way to do something. You worry you are failing - even when there is evidence to the contrary and part of you knows that you are capable and competent. But you can’t seem to find your way out of the spiral.
Maybe you feel trapped in a loop
You do so much, juggling everyone’s lives and responsibilities at the expense of your own. You may be moving a million miles a minute until…You freeze up. Overwhelm strikes, your anxiety spikes, and you second guess yourself. You don’t know what to do. It feels like if you stop everything will fall apart.
Maybe you’re paralyzed by the day to day
Take a breath. You’ve done enough on your own.
I’m glad you’re here
I hear that you’ve spent your life feeling stuck in stress and overwhelm. You’re asking yourself, How do I keep ending up here and will things ever change?
Maybe no one ever showed you how to deal with big feelings and it can feel really scary to carry that all alone. Maybe you are used to holding things on your own and even as a child you were responsible for things well beyond your years. It can feel confusing and even wrong to share your burdens or ask for help, but these are the things that connect us as human beings.
I’m here to help you learn a different way
You’ve worked so hard just to manage, and I can show you how to feel more calm and joyful, even when your anxiety continues to ebb and flow.
(Doesn’t even sound possible, right?)
It is! I want to teach you about how the brain, the body, and the nervous system work so that you have power and choice. You don’t have to feel trapped inside your own mind (that can be a scary place!) and you can choose how to experience your emotions and ultimately how you want to live your life.
You want to feel close and connected but the fears and worries continue to pop up and get in the way of you being able to be vulnerable and let other people be themselves and find their way closer to you. You’re craving more harmony but you’re afraid to speak up or rock the boat.
Maybe it’s starting to take a toll on your relationships
Maybe you have a hard time trusting others
You feel like you have to do everything yourself because other people can’t do it the way you can. Maybe you’ve been hurt or let down before so you do everything you can to prevent that from happening again.
What Is a Session Like?
My approach is warm, relational, and transparent. We can build a relationship so that you feel comfortable to share, knowing that you won’t be under a microscope, judged, or analyzed. I’m here to have an honest conversation about how anxiety shows up in your life and to share the practical strategies that I’ve learned over the past 19 years.
I utilize several modalities when approaching anxiety and the trauma behind it including, EMDR, DBT, T-CBT, ACT, EFT, and CPT. These therapies focus on how your emotions, thoughts and beliefs impact the way you experience life events and the people in your life. We will work to learn about how these systems all interplay so that you can create a new, healthy narrative - one that is empowering and can help you navigate life on life’s terms.
