• Fear & Anxiety

    ARE YOU STRUGGLING WITH FEAR, ANXIETY, PANIC, & WORRY?

    Are you experiencing any of the following?

    • Feeling Panicked
    • Excessive Worries
    • Fears/Phobias
    • Social Anxiety
    • Nervousness, Irritability or Dread 
    • Performance Anxiety (school, work, sports, sex)
    • Self-Doubt
    • Nervousness, Irritability or Dread
    • Obsessive Thinking
    • Repetitive Behaviors or Compulsions
    • Excessive Eating or Drinking

    All of the above are signs of anxiety.  Anxiety is a natural response to pressure, stress, or feeling threatened.  However, anxiety is a problem if it occurs with an intensity and frequency that keeps you from living and enjoying life. 

    The way you experience anxiety is unique to you but…you know it is a problem if it is keeping you from doing the things you want to do.

    I PROVIDE A UNIQUE CUSTOMIZED APPROACH
     TO HELP YOU FEEL BETTER QUICKLY.

    I aim for fast effective results.  I use techniques that work.

    By integrating a multitude of techniques,  we collaboratively work with both your conscious and your unconscious mind.  

    Hypnosis is a specialized technique, NOT a therapy itself.  By using hypnosis, I help you amplify and accelerate the effect of CBT and the other therapeutic approaches.  Who doesn’t want to feel better faster? 

    I will also incorporate Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT.)    EFT or meridian tapping is a blend of western psychotherapy and Chinese medicine that uses the body’s meridian energy system to treat emotional issues. The Veterans Administration uses EFT to treat veterans with PTSD.  It is an amazing technique that produces jaw dropping results.
