Suppression of anxiety symptoms is not the goal of counseling. For lasting impact, you want to address the underlying issues. Otherwise, you’ll be playing whack-a-mole as new areas of anxiety show up. You'll learn coping strategies, BUT, you’ll also address what’s causing the anxiety to begin with.

Do you know the difference between stress and anxiety? Stress is a reaction to external pressures and feeling overwhelmed. Think of it as pressure pushing against you.
Anxiety is an internal worry, fear, or dread over past or future events. Anxiety originates inside of us based on how we perceive ourselves and the world.

Did you know stress and anxiety can impact your digestion?
As stress levels rise, our body naturally shifts its focus away from digestion and towards keeping you alert and ready to respond. This can affect how your body digests food and may lead to physical symptoms like discomfort, acid reflux, and inflammation.

Our bodies release stress hormones to protect us. They’re designed to activate fight or flight so we can react without thinking. When our brain senses a threat, it signals the release of hormones like adrenaline and cortisol. These hormones increase alertness, boost energy, and prepare our body to react quickly.

When we worry and become anxious, we stay in a heightened sense of alertness or hypervigilance. These stress hormones continue to release when there isn’t a real threat and this leads to us feeling panicky.

Sometimes we interpret our panic as proof of a real threat which leads to our brain signaling the release of even more stress hormones. Thus, repeating the cycle and a continuous feeling of anxiety.

Where do you want to direct your energy?
Worry or creativity?
With the right tools and support, you can learn to direct your energy toward things that help you move forward, such as creating, growing, and healing.
Counseling is a great way to identify how you are investing your energy, and how to change your anxiety cycle, while learning tools to improve how you function.

Oftentimes we struggle with feeling worthy because we are focusing on what we think others believe about us. You are not defined by others’ perceptions or beliefs. Remember you have worth. Start to think about where your worth comes from.

Sometimes stress leaves us feeling like our bodies are out of control. What’s really happening is a natural response to our brain thinking we’re in danger. Learning our triggers and retraining our brain to understand what is life and death and what is not can help change this reaction.

Learning to practice daily relaxation techniques like slowing down your breathing, grounding yourself with mindfulness, and keeping your body moving helps tell your brain, “I’m okay.”

You don’t have to fight your nervous system. You can work with it and teach it how to respond.

Renewal starts with small daily habits that can help reset your mind, restore your energy, and
support emotional balance over time. Simple moments of care throughout the day can create space for clarity, calm, and resilience. Start small. Consistency matters more than perfection.

Understanding the Whole Person

Sometimes titles don’t really describe who we are. I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (NY) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (AZ) and I’ve helped many individuals, couples, and families work toward healing, reconciliation, and wholeness. But that only represents part of what I do. I walk alongside people in their brokenness, woundedness, frustration, confusion, and hurt, and invite them to allow me to help them navigate through these, and to help them move past the raw feelings or numbness. I also challenge people and work with them to dig into the core of their issues so they can move beyond a feeling of being “stuck.” Over the years I’ve come to realize this means more than dealing with relationships, feelings, emotions, memories, and thoughts. Every aspect of our lives influences us and our mental health, including food choices, sleep habits, faith, and lifestyle patterns. I approach each person, seeking to understand the whole person and how those influences impact them and their mental health. Because of this I have sought out training as a mental health integrative medicine provider so I can offer a comprehensive approach to each individual and respect their desire to utilize complementary and alternative approaches. I hope we have an opportunity to meet. I would like to hear your story and walk with you on your healing and growth journey. ~ Sheri
