Hello and welcome to my blog, Taming Anxiety. I am thrilled to have you join me as we embark together on a journey toward understanding and overcoming anxiety. I look forward to sharing my approaches to a variety of manifestations of anxiety in posts two times per month.

I will share my personalized approaches to evidence-based treatments, including cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, hypnosis, and other complementary approaches. Together, we will explore strategies to cultivate a positive mindset, build resilience and develop healthy coping mechanisms.
