Anxiety is a normal response to stress, but can become debilitating when the stress is ongoing, overwhelming and inescapable. Learning how to manage anxiety is a critical life skill because it affects both the mind and the body. Dwelling on the future prevents us from living in the moment, and psychotherapy can offer tools and coping skills to help re-regulate our body and find relief from overthinking and relentless mental chatter.

Anxiety and stress can show up in many ways, racing thoughts, physical tension, overthinking, or constant worry, and can make it hard to feel present or at ease. In our work together, I provide a safe, calming space where clients can slow down, better understand their triggers, and learn tools to manage overwhelming feelings. Using approaches like CBT, ACT, mindfulness, and solution-focused therapy, I help clients challenge unhelpful thought patterns, build coping strategies, and reconnect with their inner strengths. The goal is not only to reduce distress but also to create more balance, confidence, and peace of mind in daily life.

Fear is a situational-based, positive emotion that prepares us for a sudden and unexpected external event. Since fear is such a common emotion, its presence can often go from being connected to a specific experience (a baby crying, a car horn blowing) to something omnipresent and an overwhelming sense of anxiousness. Anxiety can cause us to feel shame, guilt, and worry because we do not believe we can stand up to the concerns that have brought it into our lives. Psychotherapy is a safe place to explore the causes of shame, guilt, worry, and anxiety. If you are ready to unpack your worry bag, I am here to help! Schedule a free 15-minute consultation to see if we are a good fit.
