Anxiety
Is anxiety running and ruining your life?
Living with anxiety is a terrible feeling, it can control every aspect of our lives. It used to control every aspect of my life when I was a teenager and for many of my adult years. There are many causes for anxiety, it can be complex. I have been studying and working to resolve anxiety issues for my entire adult life. This is my focus and my expertise. If you or someone you know suffers from any of form of anxiety condition, I want to help resolve it.
Anxiety conditions I commonly work with
- Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD)
- Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
- Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
- Complex PTSD (C-PTSD)
- Social Phobia (Social Anxiety Disorder)
- Blushing, Flushing, Sweating, Phobias, Panic Attacks and more.
Various causes of anxiety
Anxiety disorders are most likely caused by a complex interaction of family, environment, stress, biochemical and genetic factors; and are often rooted in childhood trauma (overt, covert, subtle and complex trauma).
Anxiety conditions can be learned from other family members and are possibly genetic. Often the parents have an underlying anxiety disorder, or are abusive, controlling or over protective. Some researchers believe the person may have an overactive amygdala, causing them to be over-sensitive to fear. Introverted, sensitive or shy children may be more susceptible.
Nutritional, mineral, hormonal or neurotransmitter imbalances, such as low serotonin can play a role. Toxic conditions, sensitivities to food and chemicals can play a role, and heavy metals need to be considered. I have a background in understanding and addressing these types of causes and guide my clients to properly address them.
People susceptible to anxiety disorders get a sense early on in life that things are not controllable and dangerous. People who suffer from PTSD, as well as substance abuse, often have underlying anxiety disorders.

“I am not the same woman who you met two months ago and my peace, happiness, and health are paramount to me and that will never change. You have been such a huge part of this fundamental change and I will be forever grateful to you for that. Your love and support is unlike anything I have ever experienced before and I know it is a large part of why I was and am able to live with this clarity and inner stability. You have taught me many things, but one of the most important is that whenever I don’t know what to do or how I feel, I can quiet my mind and my spirit will lead me.”
