Anxiety doesn’t have to be be in the driver’s seat.
Let’s be real, anxiety sucks
It’s uncomfortable and unwelcomed. It can cause us to be constantly on the move due to the internal dialogue telling yourself you’re not enough if you’re not productive. You sit down at the end of the day only to realize your mind isn’t showing any signs of stopping and the anxious feelings aren’t slowing down.
You then may begin to notice body sensations. Ya know, that pesky heart racing, fast breathing, tight chest, tingling - and before you know it you’re unable to reel yourself back in. You might grab a glass of wine, start online shopping, or look to social media as an escape from the discomfort. Or maybe even look to self-harm. Your noticing more and more that you appear “chill” on the outside but on the inside you feel like a chaotic hot mess.
I’m here for you.
You’re allowed to slow down and speak up for what you need.
When you’re living with anxiety, everything can feel all-or-nothing, urgent, and completely on you to figure out. You might look like you’ve got it all together—but inside, you’re overthinking every conversation, second-guessing your choices, and finding it nearly impossible to relax.
In therapy, we’ll slow it down and start to gently challenge those patterns. I’ll help you make space for nuance (not just black-and-white thinking) and teach you how to meet yourself with more compassion. You’ll learn tools to manage the spirals, spend more time in your body instead of stuck in your head, sit with uncertainty, and feel more grounded—even when life feels messy.

Here’s what we’ll do together
Therapy for anxiety that helps you build the trust that in yourself you can be uncomfortable and still be okay.
Listen, anxiety therapy can be HARD. You’ll be asked to sit in your discomfort and face the stuff that usually sends you into overthinking, panic, or avoidance. But with gentle support beside you, you’ll learn how to stay present in those moments when your brain wants to run, and teach your body that discomfort doesn’t have to equal danger… ya know, that the scary thing doesn’t have to feel so scary.
We’ll use mindfulness and grounding skills in a way that actually works in real life and feels approachable, not just breathing exercises or meditation every time you start to feel a little uncomfortable. You’ll learn how to slow down, notice what’s happening in your body, and ride out emotions without spiraling or shutting down.
The goal isn’t to avoid hard feelings altogether, but to build trust that you can handle them without needing every coping skill in your toolbox. As you practice, you’ll start to feel more confident in your ability to stay present… yes, even when things feel uncertain.
When all is said and done, here’s the thing:
Anxiety can actually begin to make sense once you learn to work through it, not against it.
