Women and Anxiety
Anxiety disorders, the most common mental health conditions in the United States, are more than twice as common in women as in men. Anxiety can have physical as well as mental symptoms, such as excessive mental worry and rumination about "worst case scenarios" and bodily tension like headaches and stomachaches. Living with anxiety can become a vicious cycle, as the "what ifs" prevent you from doing things you might otherwise benefit from. Post election stress and political uncertainty can further complicate the issue, as change is a major driver of anxiety.
How I Help
Experiencing anxiety, particularly high anxiety and panic, can be an extremely upsetting, debilitating, and socially isolating experience. You don't have to suffer in silence, held hostage by untreated anxiety. I've helped countless individuals find greater freedom from their anxiety through practicing proven strategies like self acceptance and self compassion. Just talking about it with someone who understands can help. See for yourself what it's like to talk with someone who can be present with your anxieties in a calm and helpful way.
Therapy for Anxiety
Therapy for anxiety helps us feel better by exploring the root causes of our anxiety--thus, helping us feel less alone--as well as how it shows up in our everyday lives, and how to manage it. Some people find pursuing anti-anxiety medication, in addition to talk therapy, to be helpful. In this case, clients are provided with recommendations for appropriate medical providers. Find my list here. You might feel unsure or afraid but therapy is a place to get support with your worries so you can start to feel better.
