Anxiety can feel like a heavy fog that follows you everywhere — racing thoughts, constant tension, and the nagging fear that something bad is always about to happen. Whether you’re a teen overwhelmed by school or an adult trying to juggle it all, anxiety can take over your mind, body, and life.
You don’t have to live like this. With the right support, you can reduce your anxiety, develop tools to cope, and feel more at ease in your day-to-day life.
You might be overthinking everything, replaying conversations, and worrying about worst-case scenarios. You may feel constantly on edge—like your mind never stops. Maybe your body’s showing the stress too: trouble sleeping, headaches, or that tight, anxious feeling in your chest.
For some, anxiety shows up as people-pleasing or perfectionism. For others, it’s avoidance, panic attacks, or a deep fear of being judged. However it shows up for you, therapy can help you make sense of your anxiety and start to feel more in control again.
Therapy doesn’t make stress disappear, but it gives you the tools to manage it more skillfully. Imagine feeling more grounded, present, and calm—able to handle life’s ups and downs without spiraling.
You can learn to quiet the noise in your head, trust your own decisions, and move through the world with more clarity and confidence.
I use a holistic, evidence-based approach to treating anxiety — blending Internal Family Systems (IFS), mindfulness practices, and cognitive tools. Together, we’ll explore the anxious parts of you with curiosity, not judgment. You’ll learn how to calm your nervous system, shift the way you think about stress, and access a more centered, confident version of yourself.
I’ve worked with countless clients navigating the toll anxiety can take on the mind, body, and relationships. Whether you’re a teen under pressure or an adult who’s tired of holding it all together, I’m here to help you find relief.
Using IFS and a compassionate, personalized approach, I create a space where healing doesn’t feel like work—it feels like finally exhaling.
Anxiety at work might show up as burnout, perfectionism, or the inability to shut your mind off after hours. You may feel pressure to perform flawlessly, constantly second-guess your contributions, or struggle with imposter syndrome.
Therapy can help you create boundaries, manage work-related stress, and feel more empowered in your professional life.
Relationship anxiety can make you question everything — Do they really care about me? Am I too much? You might fear being judged, rejected, or misunderstood. You may find yourself overanalyzing texts or avoiding vulnerability.
In therapy, we can unpack these fears so you can show up in relationships with more security, confidence, and emotional clarity.
Anxiety often shows up as an inner monologue that’s fast, fearful, and relentless. What if I mess this up? What if something bad happens? What if I’m not enough? In therapy, we work with those inner voices—learning not to silence them, but to understand what they need, and how to soothe them with compassion and care.
It’s okay to need support — healing starts with one brave conversation.
Anxiety doesn’t always look the same. Whether it shows up as social anxiety, generalized worry, panic attacks, or perfectionism, it deserves care and understanding—not shame.
GAD involves chronic worry and mental tension about everyday life—often paired with physical symptoms like fatigue, restlessness, or muscle tension.
IFS helps you understand the anxious parts of you—not to push them away, but to meet them with curiosity and compassion. This builds inner safety and self-trust.
