Anxiety Reset Psychotherapy

My approach to treatment is rooted in evidence-based practices (EBPs). EBPs are interventions that are well-researched and known to work if both client and provider give it their best efforts. No treatment will work if the provider is too inexperienced, or if the client is not fully engaging in the process. These treatments will help you develop a more realistic, balanced way of thinking and learn to accept life’s uncertainties. Anxiety thrives on doubt and leads us to seek to control everything; as you already know from your own experiences, that is an impossible task! By learning to let go of trying to control things that we cannot, you will be set on a path toward mental stability and peace, even in the midst of uncertainties or stressors that come your way. I believe that therapy isn’t about feeling better—it’s about getting better at feeling. In other words, learning how to accept all of our emotions, even the unpleasant ones, will help reduce the intensity of our emotions and increase motivation to do the things we want and needs to do. Being afraid of our emotions, believing we can’t handle them, or trying to shut some emotions down can work in the short term. The problem is, we have to constantly put in the effort to keep unpleasant emotions at bay, which drives us further away from what really matters in our lives.

Moreover, anxiety is very good at lying—it tells us we cannot do something, or we will fail, or something bad will definitely happen. Together, we will learn how to identify the thoughts keeping you stuck in the cycle of anxiety and “reset” your life. We will keep the things that work for you and focus on getting rid of the things that don’t. To get an idea of what that may look like, visit the Specialties page.
