You are not the only one struggling with anxiety.
So many people delay reaching out for help with anxiety, thinking, 'It’s just me!' The truth is, you’re not alone. In today’s world, many people feel overwhelming stress and worry that interfere with their daily lives. At Believe In Your Journey Counseling & Holistic Care, I understand how isolating anxiety can feel. Simply talking about your experiences can bring a sense of relief, validation, and the reassurance that others are navigating similar challenges. You deserve support, and I’m here to help you find it.
Symptoms of Anxiety
Anxiety is often a symptom of trauma. For example, reminders of a past traumatic experience can trigger fear and worry, causing someone to relive the pain of the event or fear it could happen again. By addressing the root trauma, many clients find relief not only from the trauma itself but also from the anxiety it creates. At Believe In Your Journey Counseling & Holistic Care, I’ve seen how brain-body therapies like EMDR and Brainspotting can effectively target both trauma and the anxiety that stems from it, fostering deep and lasting healing.
Anxiety can show up in many ways, both emotionally and physically. You might feel nervous, restless, or tense, or notice physical symptoms like an increased heart rate or stomach discomfort. Anxiety often ties itself to specific situations—like being out in public, concerns about a medical condition, fear of losing a loved one, or even the weight of the world’s uncertainty. No matter how anxiety shows up for you, know that you’re not alone, and there’s hope for understanding and managing it.
Sometimes anxiety isn’t just a stand-alone condition.
Imagine a life where emails don’t feel overwhelming, where stepping outside your home feels safe, where decisions come with confidence, and restful sleep comes easily. This kind of peace is possible for you. At Believe In Your Journey Counseling & Holistic Care, I know that anxiety is treatable. Together, we’ll equip you with the tools to process your thoughts in healthier, more empowering ways. Using approaches like EMDR and Brainspotting, along with strategies tailored to your unique needs, I’m here to help you not just manage anxiety but truly overcome it.

Yes, people with anxiety often also have depression. Anxiety and depression is a very common dual diagnosis. For example, anxiety may occur as a symptom of clinical (major) depression.

Fortunately, many of the treatment approaches that are proven to be most effective in treating anxiety also alleviate depression.
