Anxiety Therapy in Encinitas
Anxiety can show up as a busy mind, a body that stays on alert, or plans that become harder to follow through on. You may appear composed while spending a great deal of energy anticipating what could go wrong. Emma Bourroux, AMFT offers anxiety therapy that begins with understanding how worry and fear affect your own life.
How Emma Works
Understand Your Anxiety
Emma helps you look at when anxiety shows up, how it affects your daily life, and what thoughts or physical sensations you notice. If you have new or unexplained physical symptoms, it is important to discuss them with a medical professional, too.
Learn Skills to Manage Anxiety
Emma draws on DBT-informed skills, including mindfulness, distress tolerance, and emotion regulation. You can explore and practice ways to handle anxious moments and respond to stress.
Look at the Bigger Picture
Therapy can also address self-criticism, past experiences, and expectations that may contribute to anxiety. Emma works with you at a pace that feels manageable, focusing on what you want to change in your life.
You can also learn more about panic and agoraphobia.
