Most people who reach out to me for anxiety don't describe it that way at first. They say they can't sleep. They're short with their kids and feel terrible about it. Work has been relentless and they've stopped being able to tell where stress ends and normal begins. Something has shifted, and pushing through isn't working the way it used to.
Anxiety is usually underneath all of that. And it's one of the things I work with most.
This page is for the person who has been holding things together for a long time and is starting to wonder how much longer they can. It's for the person going through something big who feels untethered in ways they didn't expect. It's for anyone tired of just managing and ready for something to actually change.
Anxiety rarely announces itself. More often it shows up as:
• A mind that won't turn off at night, even when you're exhausted
• Irritability that surprises you, sometimes even yourself
• Dreading the next thing before the current thing is finished
• A tight chest, tense shoulders, or shallow breathing you don't notice until someone points it out
• Staying busy, scrolling, or overworking as a way to stay one step ahead of whatever's underneath
• The low-grade feeling that something is off, even when nothing is technically wrong
• A major life change that has left you feeling less like yourself than you expected
You don't have to be in crisis to start therapy. You don't need a diagnosis. If something feels off and you're ready to understand it, that's a good enough place to start.
There's no single approach I use with everyone, because what's driving the anxiety is different for each person.
Some people need practical tools first. A way to interrupt the spiral, get some sleep, stop the physical symptoms from taking over. Others need to understand what's actually underneath it: the patterns, the old beliefs, the ways anxiety has gotten woven into how they function and who they think they have to be. Most people need some of both, in different proportions at different times.
My style is warm and direct. I'm not going to let you stay stuck. We'll slow things down, look at what's actually going on, and work toward something different at a pace that holds. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and somatic approaches. What I'm always working toward is the same: helping you change your relationship with anxiety so it stops making the decisions.
A lot of my clients are people who are good at their jobs, hold a lot of responsibility, and look completely fine from the outside. Anxiety has often been part of the engine that got them there. The problem is that engine doesn't have an off switch, and at some point the cost of running it constantly starts showing up in ways that are hard to ignore. Trouble sleeping. Relationships taking a hit. The joy going out of things that used to matter.
We don't have to dismantle what's working. We work with it.
A move. A career shift. A divorce. Becoming a parent. Losing someone. Even changes you chose and wanted can shake something loose that you weren't expecting. Uncertainty is anxiety's fuel, and big transitions bring a lot of it. If your life has shifted significantly and you're struggling to find your footing, that's a reasonable response to an unreasonable amount of change.
If you've done therapy and it didn't quite click, or it helped but didn't stick, that's worth a conversation. I tailor the way I work to what each person actually needs. I'm not attached to any single method. Sometimes the most useful thing is trying something different.
You don't have to have hit a wall to benefit from therapy for anxiety. A lot of people I work with come in while they're still functioning, because they've realized that functioning isn't the same as thriving. If you're ready for something to actually be different, that's enough.
