Does it feel like anxiety is taking over your life?

Do you:

Often feel like you’re walking on eggshells or waiting for the other shoe to drop?
Constantly worry about what other people think of you?
Spend way too much time replaying conversations and interactions in your head days after they happen?
Have a need for perfectionism even though it’s exhausting?
Struggle to set (and keep) boundaries with others because you don’t want people to be mad at you?
Get labeled as “high-strung” or “controlling” by those around you?
Have a hard time relaxing or sitting still for periods of time?

Your body is trying to tell you something. It’s alerting you that something feels off or things need to be different to feel better. Over time, we women learn to ignore the signals our bodies are sending, trying instead to explain away or out-think them. What if you could embrace those signals, figure out what they are trying to tell you, and make decisions that reduce your anxiety? Maybe it’s time to leave that job, end that toxic relationship, or surround yourself with friends that lift you up rather than drag you down.

Helping you take control of your anxiety.

You can have a life where, instead of being overwhelmed with anxiety, you learn to recognize it and ask yourself, “what is this trying to tell me?”. When you lean into anxiety instead of trying to escape or shut it down, you take the power out of it. So instead of being flooded with uncomfortable physical and emotional symptoms (much like the “fight or flight” response), you can stay present, manage your feelings, calm your body, and make better, more rational, decisions.

Let’s be honest, anxiety doesn’t exactly feel good, but like most uncomfortable emotions, trying to avoid it just makes it feel more intense. Since school didn’t teach us Emotions 101, we go through life doing the best we can with the skills we have.

In our work together, you will gain insight into the source(s) of your anxiety, learn techniques for calming your body and mind in anxiety-producing situations, practice newly learned skills in sessions and in the real world, and become confident with integrating what you’ve learned into all aspects of your life.

Common questions about anxiety therapy

If you’re constantly bracing for the other shoe to drop, overthinking or running on mental overdrive - even while appearing calm and capable - this is a form of anxiety. And no, this does not have to be your “new normal”.
For many women, anxiety doesn’t look like panic attacks - it looks like perfectionism, people-pleasing, irritability, poor sleep or trouble relaxing. You may still get a lot done, but it often comes at the cost of your peace and well-being.
A lot of women notice an increase in anxiety during midlife, even if they have never struggled with it before. This stage often brings a perfect storm of change: shifting hormones, evolving roles, career transitions, health changes, aging parents and children growing up or leaving home. It’s a lot and it makes sense that your nervous system is feeling the weight of it all.
If you have lived with anxiety for much of your life, you have probably developed ways to cope - pushing through, staying busy, keeping it under wraps, maybe even the occasional glass of wine. But if you’re finding that these are no longer effective, this is a great opportunity to finally understand your anxiety, not just manage it.
It’s never too late to feel more grounded, more in control and less anxious!
Overthinking and “what if” spirals are common symptoms of anxiety and they can feel relentless - especially when things quiet down at night.
Therapy can help you learn ways to recognize these thought patterns, understand where they come from, and gently interrupt them. We’ll also explore various coping skills to help you calm your mind and feel more grounded, day or night.
It’s a common concern, especially for high-achieving, driven women who’ve built a life around resilience, ambition and pushing through. No - therapy doesn’t take away your edge, it helps you sharpen it with intention. It helps you understand where it came from, why it’s there, and how to use it in a way that serves YOU, not just everyone around you.
