Being anxious is exhausting.

Anxiety is pervasive, it has the ability to work its way into every part of our lives. When we struggle with anxiety, it makes everything more difficult. It intensifies our struggles and it can dampen all of our joys.


Anxiety underlies many of the issues that people struggle with. Anxiety has a way of "turning up the dial" on our negative emotions. When we are struggling with anxiety, emotions such as anger, sadness, fear, hopelessness, helplessness, and depression all become more intense. Anxiety can create a vicious cycle we get more and more anxious and spiral into deeper and more intense negative emotion.

At Thrive Counseling, we can help you to develop the coping skills that will help you decrease your anxiety and improve the quality of your life. In the same way that anxiety can permeate all the areas of life, gaining the tools to take control of it can make everything seem less difficult. If you are struggling in other areas, working to improve anxiety will create a solid foundation to work from.

Anxiety thrives in an environment of helplessness. When we begin to develop the coping skills we need, we can reverse the vicious circle we have been in and create a virtuous one where, by using the skills we have learned, we can continue to reduce anxiety an increase our enjoyment of life.
