Specialized Counseling for Anxiety, Panic, & Overwhelming Emotions in Greensboro, NC
​You are experiencing sudden, overwhelming anxiety that leaves you feeling out of control. Your heart pounds, your chest tightens, and a sense of horrifying doom sets in. It often starts with unease in your stomach, racing thoughts, and rapid breathing, spiraling into total panic. It feels like you are dying, slipping away into despair as your ability to breathe deserts you.
​
Anxiety is exhausting. Whether you are dealing with chronic, low-level worry or debilitating panic attacks, this constant state of high alert interferes with your focus during the day, impacts your relationships, and shrinks your world. You don't have to live this way.

Reclaiming Your Peace Through Practical Skills
My approach is focused on helping you shift from constant reaction to conscious regulation. I utilize effective, evidence-based methods to give you the practical skills needed to disrupt the anxiety cycle and calm your nervous system.
In our sessions, we will focus on:
-
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT): Learning specific skills for distress tolerance and emotional regulation so you can manage intense emotions without being overwhelmed by them.
-
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Identifying the specific racing, catastrophizing thoughts that fuel your anxiety and learning how to challenge and reframe them.
-
Body Regulation: Using grounding and mindfulness techniques to soothe physical symptoms like chest tightness and rapid breathing, bringing your body back to a state of safety.
-
Identifying Root Causes: Exploring the underlying stressors, attachments, or life transitions that contributed to your anxiety in the first place.
