Psychotherapy and Neurofeedback for Anxiety and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
A Typical Day...
It's another morning, and you're awakening from yet another restless night of sleep. You worry about how you'll make it through the day. Everything feels so overwhelming, you feel paralyzed. Staying in bed longer would help you avoid it all, but you're loyal to your work, family, and friends. You try to appear fine on the outside, while your insides are wrought with stress and fear. There are so many knots in your body, not even a massage will loosen them up. Your closest people keep wondering why you lash out at them, despite knowing you're a kind and thoughtful person. The amount of stress and anxiety that festers just doesn't match what is actually going on in your life.
Now Imagine...
You awaken feeling rested with a sense of ease, calm, and alertness. You scan your day and tune your mind towards what matters with flexibility and ease. Feeling relaxed in your body, you notice how your breathing and heart rate have been steady and calm. Feelings of competence arise as you move through your day, productive in your actions and balanced in your mood. Thoughtful pauses occur spontaneously as you interact with your loved ones. The sparkling moments in your day are highlighted and you are able to savor and return to them readily. Stressors are just a part of life and you cope with all that life brings more effectively. Caring for yourself through expressing your needs and wants more clearly with yourself and others is natural.
I'm not your run-of-the-mill therapist. My approaches are definitely unique. I have searched over the years to find the most effective interventions that work at the source: your brain and nervous system! We'll create quick and lasting changes across all aspects of your experience and will strengthen your core sense of self and competencies. We will integrate and savor the shifts as they happen through mindfulness and resourcing. You will develop ways to connect with all aspects of yourself with increased internal communication. My therapeutic style has been described as
Noticeable and meaningful shifts in how you feel and respond are possible. If you haven't had much success in traditional "talk therapy", click on "Approaches" to learn more. I would love the opportunity to work with you.
