You've replayed the conversation three times before you've even gotten out of bed. You keep adding to the to-do list, even when you’re already at max capacity. Somewhere along the way, being on top of everything and being anxious about everything started to feel like the same thing.
That's usually where people show up here— not in crisis, just tired. Tired of the noise. Tired of rushing from one task to the next. Tired of a mind that won't sit still even when there's nothing left to solve.
What if I'm capable?

What if something good happens?

What if I believe in myself?

What if I ask for help?

You worry even when nothing is "wrong"
You feel like you are always behind, forgetting something
You are constantly thinking of the next 5 things you need to do
You have tension in your neck, shoulders, or jaw or often have stomach issues
You feel responsible for keeping everyone and everything okay
You struggle to focus and keep track of all those thoughts running through your head
You are often concerned if someone is mad at you (they aren’t)
You might relate if…
What does therapy for anxiety actually look like?
We're not aiming for a version of you with zero anxiety— that's not a realistic or even useful goal. We're working toward a version of you who isn't run by anxiety. That usually means understanding where the anxiety is actually coming from (often not what it looks like on the surface), building a different relationship with the parts of you that are working so hard to keep you safe, and learning what it feels like in your body when you're actually okay, so you can tell the difference.
I draw mainly on Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which means less "just think differently" and more working with the actual parts of you that are anxious, overwhelmed, or holding things together— with curiosity instead of judgement.
A few common questions…
-
It depends on what's underneath it, but many clients notice a shift in how anxiety feels within the first several sessions, even before the underlying patterns are fully worked through.
-
Sessions are conversation-based, not worksheet-heavy. Some clients like small things to notice or try between sessions—that's something we figure out together based on your needs and lifestyle.
-
That's completely normal for a first session. We'll start with what's going on for you right now, and go from there.
