Helping you feel more grounded, confident, and connected to yourself.

Does this sound familiar?

  • Your mind feels constantly active or hard to quiet

  • You replay conversations or worry about what others think

  • You feel pressure to make the “right” decision

  • You second-guess yourself or struggle to trust your instincts

  • You feel on edge, even when things seem okay

  • You want to feel more calm, grounded, and confident

Understanding Anxiety

Anxiety can show up in many ways—racing thoughts, constant worry, physical tension, or a sense that you're always “on.”

Anxiety is not just something happening in your thoughts—it’s also experienced in the nervous system and body.

For many people, anxiety develops as a way of trying to stay safe, prepared, or in control. Over time, it can begin to feel overwhelming or difficult to turn off.

Where Self-Trust Comes in

Anxiety often goes hand-in-hand with self-doubt.

You may find yourself looking outside of yourself for reassurance, questioning your decisions, or feeling unsure of what you truly want.

Part of our work is not only reducing anxiety, but helping you develop a stronger sense of clarity and trust in yourself.

How Therapy Can Help

How therapy can help

In therapy, we work to:

  • reduce overthinking and mental looping

  • support nervous system regulation

  • increase your ability to tolerate uncertainty

  • build confidence in your decisions and instincts

  • help you feel more grounded in your daily life

A somatic and integrative approach

My approach to anxiety goes beyond just managing thoughts.

We work with both the mind and the body, helping you understand how anxiety shows up in your nervous system and gently shifting those patterns over time.

Depending on your needs, this may include:

  • somatic (body-based) awareness

  • EMDR for processing underlying experiences

  • parts work to understand internal conflict or self-doubt

Who I work with

I often work with individuals who are:

  • thoughtful, sensitive, and self-aware

  • navigating overthinking or high-functioning anxiety

  • struggling with people-pleasing or self-doubt

  • wanting deeper, more lasting change beyond coping skills

  • worry in social situations and mind going blank
