Anxiety and stress cause you to lose control of your life. Too much stress and worry makes you feel tired all the time, overwhelmed and unable to relax. As a result, you may find yourself avoiding people and responsibilities. Or, you might worry so much that you are unable to make decisions and spend more time procrastinating. At times, you may find yourself laying awake at night, unable to get to sleep because you cannot stop thinking about everything you have to do.
Living this way is not easy, it drains your energy and affects your relationships. I can help. I provide practical therapy for your busy life here in Sacramento. The good news is, you can have more energy and be more in control of your life.
In my counseling with adults, I teach strategies to help:
- get your worry to work for you instead of exhausting you
- you have more energy
- improve your sleep
- have more control over your life
- cope better with the demands of daily life
