Anxiety Disorders
Finding stillness in a mind that won’t slow down.
Is Anxiety Flooding Your Nervous System?
Maybe your mind never seems to slow down. You’re constantly thinking about what could go wrong, worrying about things you can’t control, or imagining the worst outcomes. You might find yourself:
Overthinking even the smallest decisions
Struggling with racing thoughts.
Experiencing sudden waves of panic
Feeling physical symptoms such as muscle tension, fatigue, & digestive discomfort
Worrying about social situations and what other people think of you
On the outside, you might appear calm and capable, but internally, you may feel like you’re fighting a battle that no one else can see.
Transforming Anxiety into Aliveness
Healing from anxiety is not about becoming someone who never feels fear again. It is about no longer being ruled by it—building a relationship with your nervous system where fear is information, not instruction. You are not your anxiety. An anxious nervous system is not a broken one; it is a system that has become overprotective.
As anxiety takes up less space, there is more room for connection, curiosity, and enjoyment. Progress might mean making decisions without endless second-guessing, feeling more present in relationships, or pursuing something meaningful even when you feel nervous.
How Therapy for Anxiety Can Help
Anxiety can pull you into a cycle of anticipating threats, trying to gain certainty, and avoiding what feels uncomfortable. Together, we’ll explore what keeps that cycle going and practice new ways of responding to anxious thoughts, physical sensations, and everyday challenges.
Our work may focus on three areas:
Changing how you relate to anxious thoughts. Recognize when your mind is predicting danger, examine unhelpful interpretations, and practice letting thoughts pass without having to solve or act on each one.
Working with your body’s stress response. Develop greater awareness of tension and activation, explore grounding and regulation skills, and build your capacity to experience discomfort without immediately needing to escape it.
Moving toward what matters. Gradually approach situations you’ve been avoiding, practice tolerating uncertainty, and make choices guided by your values rather than fear.
I draw from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, acceptance-based approaches, and somatic (body-based) practices, tailoring our work to your needs and pace. Sessions offer space to understand your experience and develop practical skills you can use beyond therapy.
