Frequently Asked Questions

  • The short answer: you can't. Your SNS is hard-wired in your brain in order to help keep you alive, and has been since your ancestors were in danger of sabertooth tiger attacks. Your SNS can't tell the difference between a tiger and a stressful email, and both are lumped together as potentially lethal threats. I will teach you how to switch back over to the parasympathetic nervous system (PNS) in order to manage your stress and anxiety.

  • The stress hormones that are introduced the first time you react continue to build up in your body, so everything you feel increases with each cycle you go through. If you were running and fighting a tiger, you would be burning off the hormones as you dealt with the threat. At your desk, you are only accumulating the hormones — and it can get intense.

  • Yes, if you choose to do the work! The SNS will turn on every time, but if you switch back over to your PNS when you first notice the symptoms, it will become manageable. It’s like anything else we focus on — if we are consistent, the routine becomes easy. If we put things off and ignore the signs, the issue gets bigger – and harder.

  • First, I create a safe place for you to learn about your nervous system and how the brain works to keep you safe. Next, we practice the management of your SNS symptoms and find out what tools work for you and your unique beliefs,patterns, and fears. Then, we retrain your brain to respond to your specific stressors instead of always reacting.

    This is a holistic approach that has been very effective for both my clients and my own healing of anxiety. Since starting to work with me, not a single one of my clients has experienced another anxiety attack!

  • During our time together, we will work to identify your thoughts, emotions, and patterns to begin healing them. My approach will be tailored to your unique needs and our sessions may include breath work, meditation, somatic and sound work, trauma training, EFT, and certain yoga poses, among other modalities. I want everyone to have the tools necessary to live a life that feels safe..

  • While stress and fear are constants in your life, the way that you experience anxiety can shift dramatically depending on what else you have going on. Your stress response can be heightened and you may feel anxious more frequently when dealing with:

    ✦ Life changes such as marriage, divorce, moving, experiencing a health crisis, or having a baby

    ✦ High-pressure situations such as starting a new job, getting a big promotion or switching to a more visible role, or launching a business

    ✦ Low self esteem, imposter syndrome, attachment to outcomes or unrealistic expectations and standards that were created.

    ✦ Interpersonal issues such as relationship conflict — or even the pressures of navigating the mind trap of social media!

  • I’m happy to get in touch with your current therapist or counselor and make sure that we’re on the same page regarding your goals.

  • As women, we’re conditioned to put the needs of others ahead of our own. As high-performers, we’re driven to live up to high expectations. When you combine the two, it’s no wonder that so many are headed to burnout because this isn’t sustainable. If you would want a healthy work-life balance for your employees, colleagues, or clients, then why wouldn’t you deserve the same?
