Therapy for Anxiety

Anxiety can look like racing thoughts, panic, difficulty sleeping, irritability, as well as physical symptoms that only create more fear. Anxiety can also look like struggling at work due to fear of making a mistake, constantly thinking about how others are perceiving you, and never quite feeling like you can relax, even at home. Maybe you have consistent worries about the future, avoid social situations that might cause discomfort, or struggle to voice what you need in your relationship.

Therapy can be a helpful tool for addressing anxiety through processing frequent worries and patterns that can keep us in anxiety loops. Identifying thoughts that are unhelpful, yet powerful, and using tools to create more balanced thinking can help decrease distress and allow you to enjoy life more. As a therapist for anxiety, I also focus on teaching mindfulness tools and ways to practice self-compassion that help folks to manage anxious, self-defeating thoughts and begin to find ways to rest both physically and mentally.

It’s important to me to provide down-to-earth care where clients feel that they are actually able to use what we talk about, rather than using confusing jargon and tools that do not feel helpful outside of the therapy room.
