Overview
Anxiety is more than just worrying too much. It’s the racing thoughts at 2am that won’t let you sleep. It’s the physical tension that never fully releases. It’s the mental loop of “what ifs” that plays on repeat no matter how much you try to logic your way out of it. If you’ve been living like this for a while, you probably already know that telling yourself to “just relax” doesn’t work.
Anxiety therapy goes beyond surface-level coping strategies. I work to understand where your anxiety comes from, how it’s been reinforced over time, and what’s keeping it running so I can actually address it at the source. Whether your anxiety shows up as generalized worry, panic attacks, social fear, perfectionism, or a deep-seated sense that something is always about to go wrong, there is a path forward.
Your mind never fully switches off. Even when nothing is “wrong,” there’s a constant low-level hum of dread.
Decisions that should be simple take enormous energy. You replay conversations, second-guess yourself.
Skipping social situations, putting off difficult conversations, or staying in your comfort zone.
Heart racing, chest tightening, difficulty breathing sometimes in situations that don’t seem to warrant that level of response.
Tight shoulders, a clenched jaw, stomach issues, fatigue, or sleep problems anxiety doesn’t just live in your head.
On the outside, you manage. On the inside, you’re exhausted, tightly wound, and wondering how long you can keep it up.
My Value
Coping skills matter but they’re not the whole picture. If anxiety has been part of your life for a long time, there’s usually something underneath it driving the engine: a nervous system shaped by early experiences, patterns of thinking that developed as protection, or unprocessed fear that never got resolved.
Using a combination of CBT, EMDR, mindfulness, and ego state work, I address anxiety at multiple levels the thoughts, the patterns, and the deeper roots. The goal isn’t to white-knuckle your way through anxious moments. It’s to get to a place where anxiety no longer runs the show.
I start by mapping your anxiety when it shows up, and what triggers it.
Before diving into deeper work, I equip you with practical, personalized tools to manage anxious moments.
Active trauma processing using EMDR and complementary approaches like ego state work and somatic awareness.
As anxiety loses its grip, I focus on reinforcing your progress, building confidence in your own resilience, and preparing you to handle future challenges without slipping back into old patterns.

FAQs
Anxiety has a way of making everything feel more complicated than it needs to be — including the decision to get help. If you’re on the fence, or just want to understand more about what anxiety therapy involves, these answers are a good starting point. And if you have a question that isn’t here, just ask.
Stress is usually tied to a specific situation a deadline, a conflict, a big life event and tends to ease when that situation resolves. Anxiety is more persistent. It doesn’t necessarily need a reason to show up, and it doesn’t go away when the stressor does. If you’re experiencing ongoing worry, physical symptoms, avoidance behaviors, or a sense that your mind simply won’t let you rest — that’s worth exploring with a therapist.
Yes, and the fact that you’ve been trying on your own for a while actually tells us something useful. Anxiety that doesn’t respond to self-help strategies is often rooted in something deeper: early experiences, nervous system patterns, or core beliefs that require more than willpower to shift. Therapy gives us the tools and the space to get to what’s actually driving it.
Many clients notice meaningful shifts in how they respond to triggers, how they talk to themselves, how their body feels within the first several weeks. Deeper change, particularly around longstanding or complex anxiety, takes longer. What’s most important is that the work is moving in the right direction, and we check in on that regularly together.
