Anxiety isn’t just overthinking or feeling nervous. It’s a pounding heart at 3 a.m. when nothing seems wrong but everything feels off. It’s the heaviness in your chest when you're trying to smile through a meeting or hold a conversation. It’s avoiding phone calls, procrastinating, obsessively planning, or imagining worst-case scenarios because your nervous system has forgotten what safety feels like.

Anxiety disorders are among the most common mental health challenges today. Anxiety can stem from various sources: childhood unpredictability, emotionally unstable environments, chronic stress, high-functioning perfectionism, past trauma, or being in constant survival mode. Many people also experience anxiety after major life events—job loss, breakups, grief, or even success. Your body stays on high alert long after the actual threat is gone.

Anxiety often shows up physically: tight chest, stomach issues, restlessness, fatigue, or chronic tension. Mentally, it creates loops of fear, doubt, and worry. Social anxiety, panic attacks, and generalized anxiety disorder can interfere with relationships, work, and daily joy. You might feel stuck between being overwhelmed and appearing like you have it all together.

In therapy, we don’t just treat the symptoms. We slow down and listen. We explore your anxiety’s roots, map the patterns in your nervous system, and bring in tools that help you feel grounded again. With the right support, your inner alarm bells can soften. Therapy helps you reconnect with your body, your sense of safety, and the parts of you that have been trying to protect you all along. You are not broken. Your anxiety is a signal, not a flaw. Healing is possible—and you don’t have to do it alone.
