Anxiety Therapy
Does it seem like your thoughts are in constant motion as if your mind just won’t sit still?
Are you replaying situations over and over and overwhelmed by self-doubt?
Has stress related to work, parenting, or a recent life transition left you feeling fearful and wondering what if?
Are you searching for relief from a persistent sense of unease, fear, or dread that you can’t seem to shake?
Anxiety shows up in many ways, all of which could benefit from therapy, including but not limited to health anxiety, people-pleasing, social anxiety, the fear of getting in trouble, or the fear of doing something incorrectly. When you live day-to-day with anxiety, racing thoughts might start from the moment you wake up, your mind running through worst-case scenarios.
Is Anxiety Making It Difficult To Feel A Sense Of Peace?
Managing Anxiety Can Feel Like An Uphill Battle
You might constantly search for something to reduce your anxiety, like having a reassuring conversation with a friend or family member or going down a Google rabbit hole about your concerns. Your worries can make it hard to feel present in the moment, or perhaps you avoid situations that are connected to high anxiety, which could lead you to isolate yourself.
Anxiety can also cause physical symptoms as well, like muscle tension, stomach or GI distress, trouble sleeping, or difficulty concentrating. If any of these symptoms are frequent in your life, you may be wondering if anxiety therapy can offer the sense of relief and wholeness that you’ve long been searching for. No matter how anxiety shows up for you, psychotherapy can provide a calming presence, a listening ear, and the peace of mind and compassionate support necessary to overcome obsessive thoughts, worries, and fears.

Cultural Pressures and Daily Stress Can Stir Up Anxiety
Anxiety doesn't often appear out of nowhere—it can build over time, shaped by the lived experiences and expectations of everyday life. When we don’t have access to strong support systems or a sense of community, it’s easy to feel unbalanced or alone with our thoughts.
Imagine, for example, a new parent who may pour all of their energy into caring for their child while their own emotional needs go unnoticed.
For others, growing up in an environment with little room for emotional expression—or pressure to fit a mold—can result in inner conflict and a chronic sense of tension. Whether due to personal history, world events, or environmental stressors, our nervous systems are often reacting to much more than what’s in front of us. Experiences like trauma, extended work hours, or the social isolation of a digital life can wear down our internal resources.
When sleep, movement, and connection are consistently pushed aside without the compassionate treatment of our needs, our minds and bodies may respond with signals like racing thoughts, muscle tightness, a persistent sense of overwhelm–even an anxiety attack. It’s not a weakness. It’s your system asking for care.
Even Though Anxiety Is Widespread, Reaching Out Isn’t Always Easy
Millions of people experience anxiety, but many hesitate to seek support. Cultural messages around “toughing it out” or “handling it by yourself” can make it difficult to ask for help. You might wonder if your worries are “just how life is,” or fear judgment for speaking honestly about what you're experiencing.
But you aren’t alone and don’t have to navigate this without support. Therapy offers a compassionate space to explore what’s beneath the surface and to rediscover a steadier way of being—one aligned with your values and authenticity, not anxiety.
Anxiety Therapy Can Encourage The Feeling Of Calm From Within
I want to give you the opportunity to unwind and find stillness, so you can better understand your anxiety while gaining skills to decrease the impact of your worried feelings. Anxiety therapy is a nonjudgmental, connected, and safe space to be able to say what your fears and worries are and be witnessed. Our therapeutic relationship is emphasized and respected, and it is an integral part of the transformative experience.
In therapy, we will examine the systems that impact you, such as your workplace or your family of origin, and explore how to change your relationship with these systems, navigate various forms of oppression, and manage distress. We look at historical information, including the role anxiety has played in your life, as well as here-and-now themes, such as how you experience it in your body. Together, we’ll also figure out how you currently cope with anxiety and develop a path for caring for yourself and developing a support system.
I Utilize Somatic Work, Depth Psychology, And Jungian Approaches
We will engage in somatic therapy that involves paying attention to how anxiety physically affects you and processing information through the signals your body gives you. I’ll help you develop new skills for working with anxiety, such as mindfulness practices like breathwork, guided imagery, and self-compassion, tracking the links between sensations and emotions.
In depth psychology, we work toward sustained and meaningful transformation. We will explore triggers and how to interact with thoughts, viewing them as messages about what needs tending to from within. You can learn to sit with discomfort, listen deeply to the psyche, and access your own inner wisdom to move you toward healing and integration.
Through my Jungian-oriented approach, we look at the whole person, considering the idea that something is out of balance and the symptoms you’re experiencing are the signs and signals of where we need to focus. We will delve into the origin or root of the dominating anxious thoughts, name those thoughts, and understand how the thoughts are a part of you that is trying to help you survive.
Breaking The Cycle And Finding Both Relief And Hope Is Possible
The most pressing desire or longing for someone struggling with anxiety is for relief, ease, peace, and relaxation. You long to stop the racing or intrusive thoughts and constant worries that something will go wrong.
The depth psychological and integrated approach allows us to work with the unconscious mind and day-to-day anxiety to more effectively find the contributing factors. There is hope—with therapy and support, you can experience relief, learn how to manage anxiety, tame the intensity, and break the cycle.
