Counseling that works for you
Hi, I’m Dr. Joe.
Have you been anxious lately? Anxiety has a way of making everything feel overwhelming. You might find that you dread the next day so much that you can’t sleep at night or relax. You might be feeling self-conscious when you speak in front of others. This makes it easy for you to withdraw from conversations and stay in your head. You also might have distressing thoughts and urges that are hard to control. These would tempt you to constantly seek reassurance and feel dependent on someone else to make you feel better. All of these things are forms of anxiety that make life much more difficult and overwhelming. I specialize in treating anxiety and i’m here to help.
I am a great fit for clients who are wanting to learn how to effectively manage their anxiety. I will help you develop new skills to cope with stress. These skills will help you feel in control of your thoughts and emotions, feel confident in your decisions, and help you avoid having sleepness nights worrying about a mistake you made. Schedule a free phone consultation today to learn whether I could be a good fit to be your counselor.
