If you’re worried so much that you’re having trouble concentrating or sleeping, or you’re just tired of waiting for the next thing to go wrong in your life, you might be wrestling with anxiety.

Whether it’s changes taking place in the world, uncertainty in our personal lives, or insecurities or regrets from our past that make it a challenge to face the world every day, when you have anxiety, it’s like there’s never a shortage of things to worry about.

Anxiety is also the most common type of mental health problem these days, afflicting nearly 1 in 5 people in any given year. (You can learn more about anxiety in my video FAQ below, by the way.)

Now, it’s important to realize that, as bad as it is, your anxiety at least starts out well-intentioned: part of you is trying to plan ahead to avoid future problems. That’s a healthy instinct.

It’s only when it goes into overdrive, and we become obsessed with future worst-case scenarios, that we get into trouble. We end up losing our peace of mind and functionality in the present moment—the one we’re actually living in!

Fortunately, a peaceful present-moment existence is ready and waiting for you, right where you left it.

Therapy for Anxiety

In our sessions, we’ll start soothing your anxiety right away. But we won’t stop there, because we also want to stop it from being produced in the first place, right?

So, we’ll find the vulnerabilities that are the root causes of that shift from healthy concern into obsessive worry, and soothe those, too.

We can use a variety of tools to augment our talk therapy, including mindfulness-based techniques and hypnosis.

We’ll have you experiment at home with daily strategies and practices that make the present a more comfortable place to live, and help you act in ways that produce fewer worries in the future.

Together we’ll cut through your internal static and get you more tuned in to the clarity available to you in each moment. That way you can spend more time feeling ease and peace, while managing your busy life and responsibilities gracefully.
