As one who has suffered herself from panic attacks with agoraphobia, I know personally and professionally what it takes to recover from anxiety and panic. While normal anxiety is essential to survival, anxiety becomes problematic when our fears and worry begin interfering with daily living. Anxiety can become debilitating—we begin to fear certain situations and circumstances and avoid going places where we think we might have a problem or have a panic attack. Grocery stores, shopping malls, buses, long car rides, airplanes, concerts, and other situations are avoided so much that our lives and those of our loved ones become disrupted. Friends and relatives who initially may have been supportive and understanding soon lose their patience as they find themselves having to compensate for whatever it is you may be avoiding. Your world becomes smaller and smaller as you seek to avoid all of the places and things that might cause anxiety or panic.

It absolutely does not have to be this way—with professional help you can overcome anxiety and panic attacks and not be dependent upon medication for the rest of your life.

I treat individuals who suffer from Panic Disorder, Agoraphobia, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Social Anxiety, test anxiety, school anxiety (often mistakenly diagnosed as school refusal), fears of swallowing and choking, and more. Excessive anxiety in any form can interfere with your life.

In the very first session you will learn techniques to help you cope effectively and permanently with anxiety and panic. You will have a “therapeutic toolbox” of coping strategies and techniques that you will be able to use when you are feeling anxious so that you will no longer be afraid to do the things you want and need to do.

Please contact me to discuss how I can be of assistance to you. You can feel better and live a more fulfilling life that is not hampered by anxiety.
