Therapy for Anxiety
Anxiety disorders are among the most common types of mental illnesses. While millions of Americans have occasional anxiety, it’s important to note that anxiety as a condition is different from anxiety as a feeling. Some people have an actual anxiety disorder, which can be crippling to live with. Anxiety disorders make it challenging to get through daily activities. Therapy targeting anxiety can help you to cope with fear and worry by giving you the confidence, skills, and knowledge you need to live a healthy and relaxing life.
I have helped numerous individuals and families who have struggled with anxiety. With each and every client, I help them work through their anxiety in a way that is collaborative and unique to their specific issues. I strive to have a safe space that fosters a trusting relationship with my clients as we find the underlying reasons for anxiety symptoms.
