Is anxiety starting to make you lose confidence in yourself?
When anxiety or panic strikes, it can feel overwhelming and uncontrollable. You might be very aware of why it’s happening, but figuring out what to do about it can still be a challenge. Or, you might not know why it’s happening at all. Both are confusing.
You may be exhausted—physically, mentally, and emotionally—by continuous racing thoughts or ruminations, physical tension, and overwhelming emotions.
It’s frustrating to:
Not be able to relax
React strongly to what seems like a minor trigger
Wonder why you're suddenly struggling after managing stress just fine for so long
Feel like you can’t do things you used to—work, drive, or leave the house with ease
Face racing thoughts, a rapid heartbeat, shakiness, dizziness, or even the sensation of having a heart attack
Keep rushing to the ER, worried you're about to “break down”
Together, we’ll help you gently reconnect with your nervous system and bring it back into balance, so you can better manage stress and restore calm when needed.
You’re ready to find a space inside yourself where you can simply breathe.
How therapy works
You can learn to ride the waves with greater skill and ease.
Here’s what we can work on together:
Identifying actionable tools that provide immediate relief and emotional stability
Understanding why this anxiety is happening
Unpacking deeper layers of anxiety with compassion and care, especially when those layers feel tender
Learning how to meet your deeper emotional needs
How do we do all this?
We’ll begin by exploring your history and current struggles, looking for patterns and connections that help explain what’s going on now. Often, understanding the root of your anxiety reveals what’s at the core—and from there, we can work to address it directly. Your anxiety really is talking to you. I’ll help you figure out what it’s trying to say.
If your anxiety is tied to past experiences or beliefs about yourself, we'll explore those underlying factors as well. Using tools like EMDR, IFS, and somatic psychotherapy, we can address these deeper issues for long-term healing and relief.

Make sense of how you’re feeling
Learn how to respond to how you’re feeling
Feel more in control
Rejoin the activities you’ve stopped doing
Feel more connected to yourself again
