Manage Your Anxiety
Teens and College Students
Quiet the negative self-talk
Build confidence
I use leading state-of-the-art tools like EMDR and Neurofeedback to collaborate with Teens and Young Adults so everyone can get back to a life before anxiety.
For all young people, LENS neurofeedback is particularly effective for ADD, ADHD requiring no effort and only takes a few seconds. Immediate results are relaxation, calm, clarity and cooperation. LENS addresses behavioral problems, learning disorders, performance anxiety, head trauma and other struggles. It can help with procrastination and overuse of screens.
College brings a lot of new changes and transitions not all of them easy. You may be stressed over late-night study sessions and new living arrangements. Overwhelmed with being independent on your own for the first time, to juggling classes and activities, meeting people for the first time from different walks of life, managing your classes and sleep college means adapting in new ways everyday takes its toil. Freshman starting college, junior struggling with internships or senior worried about finding a job, I can help.
Transpersonal Therapy can bring a sense of wellbeing and peace of mind back into your everyday life. My time working with young adults as a therapist at college counseling centers gives me the ability to understand the unique stresses you face.
Your mind may be filled with anxious thoughts like these:
-
“I can’t seem to do anything right.”
-
“What if I take the job and _____happens?”
-
“My heart pounds so hard at times, and I feel like I can’t breathe.”
-
“I can’t stop worrying. I obsess constantly. I feel discouraged and helpless.”
-
“I’m afraid of ______. I can’t face it; it’s too scary.

PARENTS TRANSPERSONAL THERAPY CAN HELP
I welcome diversity in all forms, including all sexualities, gender identities, and relationship structures. I am committed to providing a supportive environment where you can feel fully seen and heard.
My anxiety treatment plan has a three pillar approach for young people. Brainfitness, Body Nutrition, and Behavior Manifestation.
Don’t underestimate the power of basics. Make sure your young adult is eating a balanced diet with proteins, getting enough sleep, physical activity. And keep them busy with purposeful activities. There are resources you can use at home, books, online programs that can help your family. Most are CBT based with efforts to change thinking patterns including videos and exercises that can explore the symptoms of anxiety and identify triggers to overwhelming feelings. And then coping exercises the help address those feelings. These programs while they can be effective. They can’t replace the benefits of face-to-face therapy for children and teenagers. Look for websites of children’s hospitals and professional organizations. “CBT Toolbox” series of books and Magination Press Children’s books from APA are a good place to start.
