When your mind won't slow down.

Therapy for the everyday adult anxiety that's narrowed your world — and the work of widening it back out.

What anxiety looks like in your life right now

You're exhausted from explaining yourself to yourself.

You're avoiding the thing you used to love.

You're tracking everyone's emotional state but your own.

You're sleeping, but never waking up rested.

You're rehearsing conversations that may never happen.

You're functioning — and you've never felt more behind.

This is what we do, in this order

01

Make space.

Before anything else, we widen the bandwidth — slow the loop enough that you can actually look at it instead of being inside it.
02

Notice patterns.

Where does the anxiety show up first? What does it protect you from? What does it cost you? Patterns become workable once they're named.
03

Trace origins.

Anxiety almost always has a history. We find the relational, contextual, or developmental roots — not to dwell, but to understand the architecture.
04

Build new responses.

Slowly, repeatedly, with practice. The point isn't a calmer mind — it's a wider life with anxiety occupying a smaller corner of it.

What anxiety therapy with me is not

Not a 5-session anxiety bootcamp◊Not medication management◊Not acute crisis stabilization

If you're in acute crisis, please contact 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline). For acute panic disorder, OCD, or PTSD requiring specialized protocol, I can refer you to colleagues.

Questions

Common questions.

How long until I feel better?

There's no fixed timeline, and we'll talk about pacing openly as we go. The early work is usually about small shifts, like catching the loop before it becomes a spiral; the deeper work of changing how you respond, not just how you cope, takes longer. Anxiety is patient, and so is the work that addresses it.

Do you teach techniques between sessions?

Yes — though I treat techniques as scaffolding, not the answer. We'll work with grounding, nervous-system regulation, and pattern interruption when those are useful, and we'll always come back to what they're pointing at underneath.

What if I've tried therapy before and it didn't help?

Then you've probably already done useful work, even if it didn't feel like it. Tell me what you tried and where it stalled — that's often the most informative starting place.
