Anxiety Therapy San Jose, CA with Brainspotting

You are tired of anxiety getting the best of you, leaving you completely overwhelmed with life.

Your body is full of tension, chest tight, stomach pains, and heart racing. You can't be as active as you used to be because it feels like your body is breaking down. If you try to rest or get some sleep, you are left with painful memories of the past, nightmares and panic.

At work, you can't keep your head in the game. It's hard to get stuff done. You are so consumed with worry, perfectionism or fear of judgment from others. It paralyzes you.

You've been trying to cope with the anxiety. Sometimes a drink relaxes you but not for long enough. Food used to bring you comfort but that is temporary as well. You wish you could numb out and get some relief.

Your relationships have lost their joy. You and your partner have lost that spark or fun. Anxiety has drowned it out, making it hard to enjoy anything or anyone. It has made it super hard to trust people. Your anxiety leaves you misunderstood and all alone. You even think that if people really knew you, they probably would run away. Being close to anyone feels too scary.

You are tired of battling with yourself. Part of you believes you are worth a better life and the other part of you is afraid to face the memories, the pain and the anxiety. You don't want to let people down anymore, but you know that you can't keep going like this either.  You want some immediate relief but you also want to dig deep so that this doesn’s keep happening.  You are ready to change.  You are motivated to try something different.  You are ready to feel joyful and at peace with yourself and you are ready to invest the time to do the work.

An Anxiety Therapist in San Jose Who Gets It

Hey there! I'm Janie, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, and I'm here to help folks like you to break free from the grip of anxiety. You're not broken, and there's no 'fixing' needed. What we'll do together through therapy is explore an amazing, brain-based therapy called Brainspotting that will help you uncover your true self and convert that nervous energy into clarity and self-assurance.

Anxiety Therapy Techniques that Work

I help people with anxiety and trauma find relief through an amazing technique called Brainspotting.  Brainspotting helps you find relief in your mind and body..  Through this brain-based therapy, we work to heal past memories, trauma, anxiety and depression faster than talk therapy.  Your brain will effortlessly process more outside of our sessions than it did when we are together.  Your 3-pound brain is a healing machine!

We will spend the first session talking about what you want more of and less of in your life, as well as experiences that have kept you in life patterns that you desire to change. We set up measurable goals for therapy so you can track your progress. Depending on how you feel about it, we can start Brainspotting the second session.

My clients often say that they feel less pain, more joy in their life, and freedom in their relationships after working with me.  They feel more brave and more resilient and feel like they relate to their bodies in a healthier way. Many clients come to me after they have tried a variety of therapy methods and report finally feeling better. 

If you are ready to have less anxiety in your life, both physically and emotionally, contact me here for a free 15-minute consultation for anxiety therapy in San Jose to discover how something more than just talking will help you get your life back. 
My other specialties include chronic illness and pain after a history of trauma.
