Therapy for Anxiety

When your mind won’t switch off

Anxiety can make it difficult to feel fully present in your own life.

Maybe you replay conversations long after they happen, imagine everything that could go wrong, second-guess your decisions, or feel responsible for preventing problems before they happen. You might put pressure on yourself to make the right choice, struggle with uncertainty, or feel like you can’t relax until everything is under control.

Anxiety can also show up in your body through tension, restlessness, difficulty sleeping, a racing heart, or a persistent feeling that something isn’t quite right.

Sometimes these responses make more sense when we understand what they’ve been trying to do for us. Worry, planning, vigilance, or control may have helped you feel prepared or protected at another point in your life.

How I Can Help

Together, we might look at the thoughts, beliefs, and experiences that shape how you respond to uncertainty, stress, or situations that feel outside your control. We can also pay attention to how anxiety shows up in your body, whether that's through tension, restlessness, changes in your breathing, or the urge to avoid certain situations.

Drawing from CBT, mindfulness, and somatic approaches, we can explore different ways of responding to anxiety, both through your thoughts and your body.

The goal isn't necessarily to never feel anxious, but to develop a different relationship with anxiety so it doesn't have to make every decision for you.
