Anxiety Therapy

Anxiety Therapy

Anxiety is often thought of as excessive worry, but for many people it can show up in quieter and less obvious ways.

It may look like overthinking, difficulty making decisions, needing certainty, constantly preparing for what could go wrong, feeling responsible for everyone else, struggling to relax, perfectionism, burnout, avoidance, or feeling like your mind never fully turns off.

Many people I work with are high functioning on the outside while internally feeling exhausted. Others have spent years being told they are too sensitive, too emotional, dramatic, controlling, lazy, difficult, or simply need to “stop thinking so much.”

My approach is collaborative, neurodivergent-affirming, and grounded in curiosity rather than shame.

I am trained in Internal Family Systems (IFS) and often work through a lens that explores not only symptoms but also the internal experiences underneath them. Rather than asking, “How do we make this anxiety go away?” we may become curious about what anxiety is trying to protect, prevent, communicate, or anticipate.

Therapy may include understanding nervous system responses, perfectionism, identity, boundaries, self-worth, relationships, masking, burnout, transitions, uncertainty, and developing ways of responding to anxiety that feel more sustainable and compassionate.

Anxiety doesn't have to disappear overnight for life to become more manageable. Therapy can help reduce the constant pressure to always be prepared, perfect, or in control.

If you're wondering whether we're a good fit, I'd be happy to talk with you. Together, we can explore your anxiety with curiosity rather than shame while building practical tools that fit your nervous system, your values, and your life. Schedule a consultation. schedule a consultation.
