Anxiety

An endless cycle of worst-case scenarios…

When you have anxiety, every thought is an argument against yourself.

It’s a constant, nagging voice telling you that you’re not good enough, that you’ll fail, or that something bad is about to happen – even when there’s no real evidence.

Logic doesn’t matter. You know your fears are irrational, but you can’t turn them off.

Your mind jumps from one worry to the next…

It’s always convincing you that you’ve said something wrong, that people secretly dislike you, or that you’ll never succeed.

It feels like you’re always bracing for impact, even in the safest situations.

No amount of reassurance is enough because, deep down, you don’t believe it.

Instead, you believe the worst about yourself, the world, and what’s coming next.

And it’s absolutely EXHAUSTING.

It takes a toll on your body:

Your heart races, your stomach turns, and your chest tightens up.

And you can’t get the sleep you need to recover!

Because your brain won’t stop analyzing every mistake, every conversation, and every possible failure.

You try to rationalize to calm yourself down, but the thoughts keep coming.

And worst of all…

Anxiety makes you doubt yourself at every turn.

It tells you you can’t trust your mind, feelings, or even the people around you.

It keeps you stuck in a loop of self-doubt and fear, making it hard to move forward, even when you desperately want to.

It starts with a single thought. Then, it’s downhill from there.

It seems so small and innocent:

Did I say something stupid in that meeting?

Then, like a match dropped in dry grass, it spreads.

They probably think I’m incompetent.
Actually, they definitely do.
I’ll never get ahead.
Maybe I’ll get fired.
How will I pay my bills?
What if I lose everything?

Now, your heart is racing, and your stomach is in a twist. Your body reacts like a lion chasing you, but the only predator is your mind.

You try to shake it off. Calm down. Breathe. This is ridiculous. But your brain doesn’t care about logic—it’s already down the rabbit hole, digging deeper.

Let me check my phone.
No new messages.
Maybe they’re mad at me.
Maybe I said something wrong.
Maybe they’ve finally realized I’m not as good as they thought I was.

You can’t go on like this.

You know that. That’s why you’re here.

I’m here to help you untangle the chaos, break free from the loop, and take back control.

Anxiety doesn’t just live in your thoughts. It shows up in your body, sleep, relationships, and ability to concentrate or feel calm in your own skin.

In therapy with me, you won’t just talk about your anxiety. You’ll learn how to truly understand, manage, and change how it controls your life.

We’ll begin by helping you get some immediate relief – learning simple, effective ways to calm racing thoughts, release tension from your body, and quiet the constant inner pressure. You’ll practice techniques that help you stay present and grounded, even when you are overwhelmed.

Once you’re feeling more stable and supported, we’ll start uncovering what’s driving your anxiety beneath the surface. Maybe it’s perfectionism, people-pleasing, fear of failure, or always waiting for the other shoe to drop. Together, we’ll look at those patterns and begin to change them.

I’ll help you understand where these habits came from and why they’ve been so hard to break, without shame or judgment.

You’ll learn to respond to your anxious thoughts with clarity and compassion instead of panic or avoidance. In and out of session, you’ll practice speaking to yourself differently, setting healthy boundaries, and making choices based on your values, not just fear.

I’ll be there as a steady guide every step of the way, helping you feel more confident, capable, and at peace.

I believe this work is effective because it’s not one-size-fits-all. I meet you where you are and offer the tools, insights, and support you need to truly move forward, not just cope.

You’re not broken. You’re overwhelmed; we’ll take that apart and help you feel like you again.

Get your life back.

If you’re ready to stop letting anxiety run your life and start feeling more grounded, clear, and in control, I’m here to help.
