  • How therapy for anxiety works:

    Anxiety therapy is a collaborative process focused on helping you understand your anxiety and learn practical tools to manage it in daily life.

    Understanding your anxiety patterns
    We explore what triggers your anxiety, how it shows up in your thoughts and body, and what keeps it going over time.

    Learning practical coping skills
    You’ll learn strategies to calm the nervous system, manage racing thoughts, and reduce physical symptoms of anxiety. This may include grounding techniques, cognitive tools, and emotional regulation skills.

    Changing unhelpful thought patterns
    We work on identifying patterns like catastrophizing, perfectionism, or self-criticism and developing more balanced thinking.

    Building long-term emotional resilience
    The goal is not just symptom relief, but helping you feel more confident handling stress, uncertainty, and life transitions.

    I typically use a blend of Client-Centered, Attachment-Based Psychotherapy, EMDR, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT):

    We will move at your pace and find an approach that best aligns with you. We will work to understand how experiences have shaped your current relationships and emotional responses. You’ll learn how to manage challenging emotions and align with your core values, even when anxious feelings arise.
