Anxiety can feel like being stuck in a loop you can’t turn off. Together, we’ll quiet the noise, uncover what’s driving it, and help you return to a steadier version of yourself — one that feels clear, grounded, and back in your own skin.
You don’t have to explain why things feel harder than they look.If your thoughts are always racing, if you feel keyed up even in quiet moments, or if it’s hard to rest no matter how tired you are, this might be the right place to begin. Therapy can help you better understand your anxiety, interrupt unhelpful patterns, and build a steadier foundation for daily life.
We’ll work together to help you reconnect with a sense of calm that feels both possible and sustainable.

Because when you stop fighting your anxiety and start understanding it, everything shifts. You begin to recognize your patterns without judgment, respond to stress with more clarity, and feel more at home in your body. The goal isn’t to erase anxiety but to build the capacity to move through it with greater confidence, calm, and choice.
We’ll begin by understanding how anxiety shows up in your body, thoughts, and daily life. From there, we’ll work to gently shift the patterns keeping you stuck, using EMDR, relational therapy, and somatic strategies tailored to your needs. Some sessions may focus on insight or skill-building, while others offer space to simply breathe. The pace is yours, and the work is collaborative, responsive, and rooted in care.
It’s not just about reducing symptoms. It’s about understanding what your anxiety is trying to protect, and helping your body and mind learn a new way to respond. This work is about building internal safety, clarity, and self-trust so that anxiety no longer runs the show.
You won’t be asked to choose between emotional awareness and practical tools. In this work, we’ll explore how anxiety affects your thoughts, emotions, and body — and use approaches that support all three. Whether we’re mapping patterns, building capacity, or simply creating space to exhale, the work adapts to what feels most supportive for you.
You’ve likely already tried white-knuckling through or “thinking your way out” of anxiety. I integrate EMDR and relational therapy to support deeper healing — helping your nervous system process what it’s been holding onto, so you can respond to life with more freedom and less reactivity.
Many of my clients look like they’re doing just fine on the outside — but inside, they feel constantly on edge, wired, or depleted. I understand how anxiety hides in overachievement, people-pleasing, and overthinking. Our work will help you slow down, tune in, and begin to unhook from the patterns that are no longer serving you.
If we decide to move forward, sessions will be tailored to your needs, using EMDR, relational therapy, and real-world strategies to help you step into this next phase with confidence.
We’ll hop on a video call where you can share what’s on your mind, ask questions, and get a feel for how we’d work together. Think of it as a conversation, not a commitment.
Send a quick message through my contact form, and I’ll personally get back to you. No pressure, no commitment—just a chance to see if this feels like the right fit.
Many of my clients have spent years managing anxiety on their own — often successfully on the outside, but at a high personal cost. If you're starting to feel the impact on your health, relationships, or overall sense of self, therapy can help. You don’t need a crisis to seek support. You just need a willingness to explore what life might feel like with a little less pressure and a little more ease.
No, you don’t need a diagnosis to begin therapy. Many people start this work simply because they’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or out of sync with themselves — and that’s more than enough reason to seek support. If a diagnosis becomes clinically appropriate or required for insurance reimbursement, we can discuss that together. But it’s not a prerequisite for healing.
It’s possible that things might feel more intense before they feel easier — especially as we begin to slow down and tune into thoughts and emotions you’ve had to push aside. That said, you won’t be thrown into anything you’re not ready for. We’ll move at a pace that’s attuned to your nervous system, using grounding tools and relational support to help you stay regulated. The goal isn’t to overwhelm you — it’s to help you build enough safety to face what’s been driving the anxiety, and to do it with care.
I work with adults who experience anxiety in many forms — especially the kind that hides beneath overthinking, perfectionism, or the pressure to hold everything together. This might show up as chronic worry, restlessness, difficulty sleeping, or feeling on edge without knowing why. I also support clients navigating anxiety connected to major life changes, unresolved grief, or long-held patterns of self-criticism. Whether your anxiety is loud and obvious or quiet and constant, we can work together to better understand and support what’s underneath it.
It depends on your goals, history, and what’s driving the anxiety. Some clients begin to notice shifts within a few months, especially when they're ready to engage in the work both inside and outside of sessions. Others may benefit from longer-term support, particularly if anxiety is rooted in trauma or long-standing patterns. We’ll regularly check in on your progress and adjust the pace or focus as needed. There’s no one-size-fits-all timeline — we’ll work together to find what’s right for you.
