It criticizes every decision and belittles you, no matter how hard you try. You constantly worry about what could go wrong, going through every possible what-if scenario like a giant flowchart.
Working with me helps you reconnect with what’s most important so that you can find direction, feel more confident in your decisions, and create a meaningful, fulfilling life.
Get relief from the cycle of overthinking, worrying, and ruminating with expert guidance and support that meets you where you are.
Anxiety Can Feel Like constantly worrying about the future And obsessing over the past.
This doesn’t leave much room for the present. This cycle of feeling out of control and helpless can impede you from living a meaningful life and doing what matters most.
Maybe you struggle to say no or feel excessive guilt when you do. You feel responsible for others and can’t ask for anything in return.
Maybe you avoid the things you want most, like relationships or trying new things, because you’re terrified of things going wrong.
The good news is that anxiety doesn’t have to stop you from living a good life! Learn effective coping skills to manage your symptoms and get to the root of what’s happening to change your relationship with your anxiety.
This allows your anxiety to fuel and guide you rather than drain you. Together we’ll overcome anxiety’s grip on your life.
what does too much anxiety look like?
While chronic stress typically manifests as physical symptoms, anxiety can show up in your head as well as in your body. Here are some of the most common symptoms of chronic anxiety, panic, and stress:
Trouble sleeping
Racing & intrusive thoughts
Irritability / anger
Not feeling good enough
(imposter syndrome)Restlessness
Things feel unreal / out-of-body
Trouble concentrating
Hard to breathe
Feeling panicky / worried
Pit / ache in your stomach
Rumination (thinking about something again and again)
Chronic pain / illness
Fear of “going crazy”
Feelings of guilt or shame
Anxiety doesn’t always look like worry
Anxiety often hides in behaviors that look responsible and capable. This is common with high-functioning anxiety, where you keep getting things done while feeling tense, exhausted, and on edge underneath.
Anxiety might be showing up as:
Struggling to make decisions: You research every option, ask everyone’s opinion, and still feel unsure. The fear of choosing wrong keeps you stuck, or has you second-guessing a choice long after you’ve made it.
Having a hard time saying no: You say yes before checking what you actually want, then feel resentful and drained. Underneath is often a fear of disappointing people or being seen as selfish.
Overpreparing and overthinking: You rehearse conversations, redraft messages, or replay what you said afterward to make sure you didn’t mess anything up.
Putting things off: What looks like procrastination is often anxiety about not doing it perfectly.
Never feeling able to relax: You want to relax, but your mind won’t let you. Maybe it’s a constant running to-do list, or a low-level anxiety about what needs to get done that never settles.
I’ll help you figure out what an ideal future looks like by getting in touch with what really matters to you.
It may feel far off now, but it’s possible to wake up and not feel an overwhelming sense of dread, or feel your heart racing even when sitting still. Life can be fun and fulfilling when anxiety doesn’t always get in the way of doing what you want to do.
How therapy with me helps
Therapy helps you feel better overall by getting down to the root of your anxiety and changing your relationship with it.
We’ll work together to discover the root cause of your anxiety to look for patterns and connect the dots so your symptoms make more sense.
I’ll give you tools to find relief from your immediate symptoms, giving you some space to slow down and gain clarity.
Gaining insight and awareness into what’s fueling your anxiety and chronic stress allows you to actually do something about it.
Imagine what a difference it would make to feel a sense of peace and calm in your daily life, to feel confident about your decisions, and take action without constantly second-guessing yourself.
types of anxiety i work with
General Anxiety & Phobias
You’re often overwhelmed, have trouble concentrating, or overthinking scenarios. Your anxiety often looks like swirling thought spirals and negative self-talk.
You’ve developed a phobia and can’t just “get over” it. Maybe you’ve started to avoid certain situations or places because it gives you too much anxiety, and now it’s interfering with living your life.

Perfectionism & Procrastination
Nothing ever feels right or good enough, putting tons of pressure on you. You’re really hard on yourself when things don’t turn out the way you’d hoped.
You constantly put off or avoid things until the last minute and don’t know how to help yourself get started or stick to new routines and habits.
People-Pleasing & Boundaries
You worry what others think of you and often avoid social situations because you don’t want your brain to replay anything embarrassing or upsetting afterwards.
You constantly make sacrifices to keep the peace and avoid conflict. You struggle to ask for what you need or speak up for yourself, even when it’s important.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Stress is typically a response to a specific pressure, like a deadline or a hard season, and it tends to ease up when the pressure does. Anxiety sticks around even when things calm down, and it often comes with constant worry, a tense or restless body, trouble sleeping, or a sense of dread you can’t explain. If it’s lasting more than a few weeks or getting in the way of work, relationships, or sleep, it’s worth talking with a therapist.
-
High-functioning anxiety is anxiety that hides behind success. You get things done and everyone sees you as capable, but inside you feel tense, exhausted, or there’s a sense of never feeling good enough. It often looks like overthinking, perfectionism, overpreparing, taking on too much, or struggling to say no and set boundaries.
-
Overthinking is your mind trying to protect you by solving problems before they happen or making sure you never make a mistake. The trouble is when it creates and endless cycle of worry. Telling yourself to stop usually backfires. In therapy, we look at what’s driving the overthinking and practice relating to those thoughts differently, so they have less control over your decisions and your day.
-
Yes. Panic attacks feel scary, but they’re very treatable. In therapy, we work on understanding what sets them off, calming your body in the moment, and changing any patterns that keep them going. I also offer EMDR Therapy to help with panic attacks after a traumatic experience.
-
People-pleasing can be driven by anxiety about disappointing others, being rejected, or wanting to avoid conflict. If you struggle to say no, feel guilty when you do, take on too much, or constantly worry what people think of you, there is likely some anxiety underneath. Therapy can help you set boundaries without the overwhelming guilt, or feeling like you’re letting people down.
