Anxiety Therapy
We all worry at some point in our lives. But for people with anxiety, it is different. The worrying is excessive. No matter what we do, it just does not stop. Sometimes it can be scary as well because our minds easily can create the worst case scenario and we react as though it is happening already, despite nothing happening right now. Often times my clients will say that they cannot shut their brains off. Anxiety can feel like an invisible force always working against you. Whether it’s a constant stream of worry about various situations in your life or worrying about the same thing over and over, anxiety can take over your thoughts, your body, and your ability to fully enjoy life. The good news? Anxiety is highly treatable, and therapy can help you get back in control. In therapy you will learn how to shut down thoughts, how to challenge thoughts, and how to live your life using new perspectives.

How I Help with Anxiety in Therapy
First we will start by going over your history and your life as a whole. Then we will talk about the anxiety specifically and come up with an individualized treatment plan that I tailor to exactly what you need and then the work begins.
My Approach Includes:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): CBT helps you understand the connection between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. You’ll learn to challenge anxious thinking patterns and respond to fear in more balanced ways.
Mindfulness & Relaxation Techniques: You’ll gain tools to regulate your nervous system, stay grounded, and reduce physical symptoms of anxiety.
Compassion-Focused Support: Therapy isn’t just about skills. It’s also about feeling seen and supported. I provide a warm, nonjudgmental space where you can show up exactly as you are and never worry about being judged.
