Anxiety can make it difficult to quiet your mind, relax your body, or feel fully present in your life. You may find yourself constantly anticipating what could go wrong, replaying conversations, overthinking decisions, or feeling responsible for things outside of your control. Anxiety can also show up physically through tension, restlessness, racing thoughts, difficulty sleeping, panic, or a persistent sense that you need to be “on” or prepared for what comes next.

In therapy, we work together to understand the root causes and patterns behind your anxiety rather than simply trying to make the anxious feelings disappear. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), we identify unhelpful thought patterns, learn to relate to anxious thoughts differently, and develop practical skills for responding to fear and uncertainty in healthier, more balanced ways. Rather than allowing anxiety to dictate your choices, ACT helps you make space for difficult emotions while moving toward the people, experiences, and values that matter most to you.

Because anxiety isn't just something that happens in your mind, we also incorporate mindfulness and somatic therapy to help you recognize what is happening in your body and nervous system. Together, we work toward understanding your triggers, increasing your sense of safety, and learning how to soothe your nervous system when anxiety takes over.

We also explore the ways anxiety may be shaping your choices—whether through avoidance, perfectionism, people-pleasing, overthinking, or constantly seeking reassurance. Therapy can help you build the confidence to tolerate uncertainty, move through discomfort, and respond to life from a place of intention rather than fear.

You don't have to navigate anxiety alone. In a safe, inclusive, and affirming environment, we will work at a pace that feels manageable while helping you develop greater self-trust, emotional flexibility, and a sense of internal calm. The goal isn't to eliminate every anxious thought or feeling, but to help anxiety become something you can understand and navigate rather than something that controls your life.
