Therapy for Anxiety
Quiet the constant overthinking, work through the “what ifs,” and build practical tools to feel more grounded and in control.
Anxiety can make even ordinary things feel exhausting. Maybe your mind won't stop running, you’re constantly preparing for what could go wrong, or you find yourself avoiding things because they feel too overwhelming. Sometimes anxiety shows up as racing thoughts, perfectionism, irritability, physical tension, difficulty sleeping, or a constant feeling that something isn't quite right.
Therapy can help you understand what's driving your anxiety and build a different relationship with it. Rather than trying to eliminate every uncomfortable feeling, we'll work toward helping you feel more capable of handling uncertainty, discomfort, and the inevitable ups and downs of life so anxiety doesn't make all the decisions for you.
About Therapy For Anxiety:
There isn't one way to treat anxiety, and we'll tailor therapy to what you're experiencing and what you want to change.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) — Identifying patterns of anxious thinking and learning to respond to thoughts in more balanced and helpful ways.
Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) — Learning to make space for uncomfortable thoughts and feelings while focusing on the things that matter most to you.
Exposure & Response Prevention (ERP) — Gradually facing feared situations, thoughts, or sensations while reducing avoidance and anxiety-driven behaviors. This may be especially helpful for OCD and certain anxiety disorders.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) — Developing practical skills for managing intense emotions, tolerating distress, and navigating challenging situations.
Mindfulness-Based Approaches — Learning to notice thoughts, emotions, and physical sensations without automatically reacting to them.
Nervous System & Somatic-Informed Work — Developing awareness of how anxiety shows up in your body and learning ways to support regulation and a greater sense of safety.
Behavioral Strategies — Addressing avoidance, procrastination, reassurance-seeking, and other patterns that may temporarily reduce anxiety but keep it going over time.

You don't need to have an anxiety disorder for therapy to help. Anxiety can be a completely understandable response to stress, relationships, work, school, uncertainty, or major life changes. We can work with both the circumstances you're facing and how anxiety is affecting you.
-
We can work with anxiety that overlaps with obsessive-compulsive patterns, including intrusive thoughts, compulsive behaviors, checking, reassurance-seeking, and avoidance. When appropriate, treatment may incorporate exposure and response prevention (ERP).

Anxiety tends to ebb and flow, and experiencing it again doesn't mean you've failed or that therapy didn't work. We can look at what's changed, what patterns have returned, and what skills or support might be helpful now.
