Anxiety

As a therapist, my approach to anxiety therapy is tailored and empathetic. I begin with a thorough assessment to understand each client's unique experiences with anxiety.

Where appropriate, exposure therapy is incorporated. I also emphasize a holistic view, considering lifestyle factors like diet and exercise. The goal is not just to manage anxiety, but to empower clients, adapting the therapy as needed to ensure its effectiveness and relevance to their individual journey.
