How To Calm Down When Anxiety Strikes

Overwhelmed? Panicked? Or Just Generally Out Of Sorts?

First, take a moment to ask yourself a few questions—What is it I do when I feel overwhelmed with work, my relationships, or simply tire of doing the same thing over and over and getting the same results? Maybe Nothing So Far???

How do I  deal with adversity? Perhaps Not So Well???

Are you currently in a time and space where you feel unable to make changes even when you know some change is necessary or even vital? Most Likely —Or You Wouldn’t Be Here On This Page.


You aren’t alone. It takes the average person an estimated 30-250 days to change any single behavior. If the first thing that comes to mind is UGH!!!  Or I can’t wait that long. Think again. Think ahead. Think about where you are now and how long it’s taken you to get here. I guarantee it will take you a lot less time to do things differently especially with help and support.

I offer a therapeutic perspective that incorporates the WHY (as in Why do I do the things I do? and Why aren’t I happy?) with a solid plan for moving towards the HOW (How do I work this through? and How do I move forward?). As your therapist I assist you in re-defining yourself with a greater focus on your strengths that includes the development of a concrete plan with definitive goals for the future. I will help you explore the past while keeping both eyes on the present and future. I will work with you to develop a life plan that embraces being your authentic self and helps you to see yourself with grace and even some humor.
I also offer a free initial consultation.
