While everyone experiences anxious thoughts from time-to-time, if you have persistent intrusive thoughts, rumination, constant worry, and stomach aches, heart palpitations, or embarrass easily, you may benefit from the help of a professional. If you are experiencing anxiety for the first time, you may be scared or confused, and if you have had life-long anxiety, you may wrongly assume it’s just part of life.
Counseling can help. Picking the right therapist when you have anxiety is vitally important; read my Google reviews here.

- insomnia
- hypervigilance and extreme startle response
- restlessness of the mind
- diarrhea or GI issues
- sweaty palms, elevated heart rate, palpitations of the heart
- poor memory
- jitteriness
