Your anxiety and OCD may show up in different ways: panic attacks, "derealization," obsessive doubting, or even with chronic IBS/abdominal pain. A cycle is born when these symptoms then trigger more anxiety/fear. It can be exhausting to focus on, and these problems can really affect your everyday life and choices. Trying to get rid of, avoid, or change the anxiety with breathing exercises, journaling, or other techniques can paradoxically make it all worse and perpetuate or exacerbate the discomfort.

Many individuals (even well-meaning professionals) actually contribute to the anxiety that clients experience by teaching methods that lead to a "control struggle" with anxiety - thus increasing the very symptoms you don't want to feel.

I use highly specialized research-informed methods and tailor them to your unique variables and goals. I'll collaborate with you, so that you learn to apply helpful methods that lead to long-term solutions and peace. I can help you to stop worrying about how anxiety or physical symptoms show up day to day and get back to focusing on the life you want.
