Anxiety can feel impossible to escape.

Anxiety isn’t just stress. It’s your brain stuck in overdrive.

It can show up as racing thoughts, feeling tense or on edge, being unable to relax, trouble focusing, irritability, difficulty sleeping, or feeling disconnected from yourself or others.

Life can pile on pressures from work, family, relationships, or just trying to keep up with everything and anxiety can sneak in quietly. You might notice physical symptoms like headaches, stomachaches, or muscle tension, start avoiding situations, feel constantly worried, snap at loved ones, or struggle to enjoy your day. Sometimes it even makes it hard to feel like your true self around others.

Anxiety doesn’t mean something is “wrong” with you. It’s your nervous system trying to keep you safe, even if it feels exhausting or out of control. In therapy, we look at how your body and mind respond to stress and pressure, and we work gently to help those patterns ease over time. Instead of telling you to calm down or just think differently, we focus on helping your nervous system feel safer from the inside out.

As your body and mind start to calm down, anxiety will also get better. Your thoughts slow down, your reactions feel less intense, and you gain more choice in how you respond to situations. This work is supportive, intentional, and designed to create real, lasting change..

Through therapy, you can start to:

  • Feel calmer and more grounded in your body

  • Reduce constant overthinking and mental “noise”

  • Understand your triggers and how your body reacts to stress

  • Build self-trust and a sense of safety within yourself

  • Respond more intentionally instead of reacting automatically in relationships

  • Feel more present and connected to yourself.

    These are just a few ways anxiety can be present in your life.

  • We will start by working with your nervous system and notice what your body is feeling when you feel relaxed, overwhelmed, and when you feel like shutting down. Once we notice those triggers and sensations, we will start to notice the situations you are in and the thoughts you have in those situations. We will work to see how the situation affects you and how to think and/or act differently to lower your anxiety. Sometimes we may work on breathing. When we get anxious, we don’t notice it, but we are taking shallow breaths which tells our brain and body that we aren’t safe. By taking slower, deeper breaths, our body and mind realize that we are safe and it helps us calm down.

  • The first step is to call for a free 15 minute consultation. You can ask me everything  to make sure we are a good fit. Then, we will meet weekly to discuss what is troubling you and make a plan forward for how to get you back to living life well.

You don’t have to face anxiety or self-doubt alone. There are ways to feel calmer and more in control.
