After nearly 3 years in the writing and publishing process — and over 30 years of specializing in anxiety — this book is finally almost here.

Whether you’ve lived with anxiety for decades or are just beginning to make sense of it, I promise you’ll walk away with something new: a fresh perspective, a deeper understanding, or a strategy that finally clicks.

When I share this work, I often hear:
✨ “Why has no one ever told me this before?”
✨ “I never thought about it that way — but that makes so much sense.”
✨ “I thought I knew everything about anxiety having lived with it for most of my life… and I still learned so much.”

This is why I wrote the book: to help you see anxiety in a new light — and to offer clear, tailored ways to truly change your relationship with it.

This isn’t just information. I hope it will bring you peace, calm and confidence.

🔔 REMINDER! Anxiety Unpacked starts Jan 23rd!

📣 UPDATE: We are now able to provide CE's to Psychologists, thanks to our sponsoring partner, Centered Therapy Chicago (www.centeredtherapychicago.com).

Based on years of exploring multiple approaches to treating anxiety, and years of working with clients, Anxiety Unpacked presents a model for conceptualizing the root causes of all anxiety and specific strategies for treating the source of each client’s anxiety. This model provides clients with an understanding of their anxiety and targeted strategies to treat the root cause, not just the symptoms of it.

Clients who have worked with this model have consistently reported gaining an understanding of their anxiety that is new and helpful to them, and that with this knowledge, they have been able to make greater progress in treating their anxiety than with other treatment approaches and techniques.\

In this seminar, participants will learn:
✅ The three root causes of all anxiety
✅ How each root cause of anxiety manifests in unique ways
✅ The targeted solution for treating anxiety by correcting the root cause of anxiety.✅
✅ The process of change when treating anxiety
✅ How to help clients to identify the cause of their anxiety and to employ strategies that will help them to reduce and control their anxiety.
✅ Specific tools and strategies that can be used by clients to achieve mastery over their anxiety.
