Anxiety is not something you choose.
It’s something that happens to you.

It’s happening again.

Awake in the night with tightness in your chest, heart racing, shortness of breath. Panic. It feels disorienting and out of control.

Why is this happening to me? Why won’t God take these feelings away?

Or maybe it’s showing up in the constant preoccupation with planning for the worst-case scenario.

Or wondering if all these crazy things happening with your body means there’s something more going on that hasn’t been detected.

Anxiety affects not just you.

The people around you have begun to pay a cost for how uptight you’ve been. The guilt adds to the anguish, and it bubbles up when you lie down at night, grasping for a respite from the tormenting thoughts.

Or perhaps it manifests in the over-analyzing of social occasions.

“What are they thinking of me?”
“Why did I say that… are they looking down on me now?”
“What did she mean when she said that?”

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, edgy, restless, or downright depleted, your body may be letting you know that you need to slow it down, take stock, and make some adjustments.

Anxiety doesn’t have to take you out of the game.

In therapy, you’ll become equipped with practical tools to help you take charge of anxiety rather than have it take charge of you. We’ll work together to learn about possible sources of your anxious feelings and identify ways to address them.

I’ll help you understand the role of our brain and emotions, and how to maximize their roles for a greater sense of well-being. We’ll consider other factors, too, such as the physical, spiritual, and relational aspects.

You can stop missing out on the things you want to do or feeling overwhelmed at the thought of them. You can enjoy a more peaceful and abundant life.
