Anxiety & Stress

Anxiety doesn't always look like panic attacks or obvious fear. For many people, it shows up as a constant low hum of worry that's hard to turn off — replaying conversations, anticipating worst-case scenarios, or feeling like you're always waiting for something to go wrong.

You might notice it in your body: tension in your shoulders, a tight chest, trouble sleeping, or a stomach that seems to have its own opinion about your schedule. Or it might show up as avoidance — putting off things that feel overwhelming, canceling plans, or staying busy to keep the anxiety at bay.

Stress related to work, relationships, finances, or caregiving can layer on top of existing anxiety, making it harder to feel settled even when things are technically fine. Over time, this can affect your mood, your relationships, and your sense of yourself.

Therapy for anxiety isn't about eliminating discomfort entirely — it's about changing your relationship with it. Together, we can look at the patterns that keep anxiety going, identify what's actually driving the worry, and develop skills that help you respond rather than react.

This might include learning to recognize anxious thought patterns and question them, building tolerance for uncertainty, working with the physical sensations of anxiety, or addressing the underlying concerns that the anxiety is pointing toward.

The goal is to help you feel less controlled by anxiety and more capable of moving through your life — not perfectly, but with more steadiness and flexibility.
