ANXIETY
Anxiety is a normal reaction to stress. It helps people deal with a tense situation in the office or to study harder for an exam. But when anxiety becomes excessive, and you develop an irrational dread of everyday situations, it has become a disabling disorder.
Signs and symptoms of anxiety disorders:
-
Feelings of apprehension or dread
-
Anticipating the worst
-
Feeling tense and jumpy
-
Irritability
Physical symptoms:
-
Pounding heart
-
Sweating
-
Headaches
-
Stomach upset
-
Frequent urination or diarrhea
-
Shortness of breath
-
Insomnia
A panic attack is the abrupt onset of intense fear or discomfort that reaches a peak within minutes, and could include accelerated heart rate, pounding heart, sweating, or shortness of breath.
How therapy can help anxiety:
Therapy can help people learn to identify and manage factors that contribute to their anxiety. A Psychotherapist will work with you to determine the cause of your anxiety and create a course of treatment.

Whether you are in crisis or need support, I would love to help you achieve a sense of well-being.
