Understanding Anxiety
Anxiety is your body and mind’s way of trying to keep you safe. It begins as a quick surge of energy meant to help you respond to stress or uncertainty. When that surge stays active for too long, it can start to feel like your mind has too many tabs open, each holding a worry, a task, or a what-if. In therapy with me, we slow things down to understand what your anxiety is working so hard to protect. Together, we close the extra tabs, help your system reset, and create more space for calm and trust within yourself.
Would This Help Me?
Working with me means learning to understand and work with your emotions, rather than against them. Together, we’ll make sense of what your anxiety is trying to tell you and gently untangle the patterns that keep you feeling stuck. As you begin to connect with your emotional world in a new way, you’ll start to feel a greater sense of ease, clarity, and freedom from anxiety.
How Anxiety Present?
Anxiety can show up in many ways, both in your body and in your mind. You might notice racing thoughts, tension, restlessness, or a constant sense of worry that never fully goes away. Sometimes it appears as overthinking, difficulty making decisions, or the feeling that nothing you do is ever enough. Other times it shows in physical sensations like a tight chest, rapid heartbeat, or trouble sleeping. In therapy with me, we explore these signs as messages from your system, helping you understand what your anxiety is trying to protect you from and find a greater sense of ease and balance.
