Therapy for Anxiety

When your mind won’t slow down, everything starts to feel like too much.

Anxiety can be exhausting. Maybe you’re constantly overthinking, trying to get it all right, or stuck in a cycle of what-ifs. You might feel wired but tired, always bracing for something to go wrong—even when things look fine on the outside.

Whether you're a teen navigating pressure from school and friendships, or an adult juggling responsibilities and self-doubt, it can feel like your nervous system never gets a break.

Therapy offers a space to step back, breathe, and untangle the knots that have been keeping you stuck.

How Therapy Can Help

In our sessions, we’ll work together to understand what’s fueling your anxiety—whether it’s old wounds, current stressors, or the relentless inner critic that keeps pushing you. You’ll build awareness of your patterns, recognize your triggers, and start to respond with more self-compassion and clarity.

We’ll use tools like mindfulness to calm your nervous system in the moment, and CBT strategies to shift unhelpful thought patterns over time. I may also integrate EMDR and parts work to help process deeper layers, if and when it feels right.

We’ll look at the full picture—your routines, relationships, and what actually supports your well-being. Small, meaningful changes can create real relief, and with the right support, it’s possible to feel more present, empowered, and connected to your life again.

Common Questions About Anxiety:

  • Anxiety is how our mind and body react when we sense danger or feel threatened. In small amounts, it's actually helpful because it keeps us safe and helps us solve problems. But if we feel too anxious too often, it can make things really hard to handle in our daily lives.

    Anxiety can stem from a variety of factors, including genetics, brain chemistry, personality traits, as well as life events like trauma, stress, or big changes in life.
