You’re Not Alone—Anxiety Touches Us All
Did you know that around 18 percent of Americans, approximately 40 million people, deal with anxiety, as shared by the Anxiety and Depression Association of America (ADAA)? Anxiety is a common part of being human, woven into our journey, making us react to perceived threats. Since everyone’s situation is different, there isn’t one perfect solution for anxiety. That’s why the guidance I provide is tailored individually for each person. Together, we’ll explore your challenges and create a plan that suits you.
Overcoming Fear and Loving What Is
We begin by respecting the truth of your experience. Your feelings act as guides, leading you on a journey toward healing. As we progress together, we’ll uncover the origins of your anxieties. While there’s no universal best cure for anxiety, our exploration begins with adopting a new perspective through the practice of “allowing” and accepting what is without judgment. You can think of this as an introduction to engaged mindfulness. With commitment and perseverance, the glow of safety, joy, and peace in your mind will gradually reappear.
Reimagining Anxiety Through A News Lens
Let’s take a fresh look at anxiety: Anxiety often ties itself to past experiences—traumas or stresses that once demanded immediate coping strategies. Those worries and fears might have been your armor against danger. Anxiety management is only half the journey; our goal is to help you take off the protective armor so you can release your anxiety completely and stop having to “manage” it.
Uncovering Beliefs, Abiding in Presence
Anxiety is seemingly woven into our existence, a manifestation of the fears we carry and our belief that we are vulnerable. Interestingly, the source of anxiety is rarely what you think it is. Finding lasting peace involves uncovering the hidden beliefs that keep this sense of vulnerability alive, combined with learning how to abide in the present moment, where no such pain exists.
Anxiety isn’t your identity—it’s a messenger.
Embrace the Shift—Embrace Yourself
