Anxiety Counseling
Available virtually throughout Washington, Oregon, California, Colorado, and Maine
You’re not weak — you’re ready to reclaim calm and clarity.
At some point, the constant worry, racing thoughts, and tension stop serving you.
Maybe you’ve been managing anxiety on your own for years, trying to push through, plan, or “think your way out” of stress
But it keeps showing up, stronger or in new ways.
Even when life looks fine on the outside, your mind may feel like it’s never quiet.
You might catch yourself thinking:
“I can’t shut my brain off.”
“If I stop, everything will fall apart.”
“I’m functioning, but I’m not okay.”
Your body may carry tension that doesn’t release, leaving you restless, irritable, or exhausted.
Sleep can feel out of reach, focus slips, and even daily routines feel overwhelming.
You’re not failing.
You’re human — and your nervous system is simply asking for support.
Who I Help:
I work with adults who are ready to step off the constant anxiety treadmill and reclaim calm, clarity, and confidence.
You might be struggling with:
“Racing thoughts and persistent worry”
“Feeling “on edge” or hypervigilant”
“Emotional exhaustion, irritability, or burnout”
“Difficulty setting boundaries or saying no”
“Feeling scattered, overwhelmed, or disconnected from your own sense of calm”
If this sounds familiar, you’re ready for therapy that goes beyond coping.
Therapy that helps you understand your anxiety, regulate your nervous system, and build sustainable calm.
What You May Be Feeling
Your mind races even when your body is tired.
Tasks that used to feel manageable now feel overwhelming.
Guilt or pressure arises when you try to rest or take a break.
You feel easily triggered, reactive, or emotionally drained.
Joy and presence seem just out of reach.
These feelings aren’t signs of weakness — they’re signals that your body and mind need practical strategies, guidance, and support.
How Therapy Helps
Anxiety counseling is about helping you stabilize your nervous system, manage racing thoughts, and create a life that feels calmer, more grounded, and aligned with your values.
Together, we’ll:
Identify thought patterns and cycles that fuel worry.
Build skills to regulate emotions and respond rather than react.
Practice mindfulness, grounding, and presence to calm the nervous system.
Explore values and priorities to align your actions with what truly matters.
Develop practical routines, boundaries, and strategies to reduce overwhelm.
My Approach to Anxiety Counseling
I use an integrative, practical, and compassionate approach that combines evidence-based methods with tools you can apply in real life.
Modalities I use include:
ACT (Acceptance & Commitment Therapy) – for psychological flexibility, values, and stress resilience
CBT-informed strategies – to address worry cycles and thought patterns
DBT skills – for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness
Mindfulness & somatic techniques – to calm the nervous system and cultivate presence
Practical coaching supports – boundaries, pacing, and sustainable routines
I meet you where you are, helping you reclaim calm, focus, and confidence while learning to respond to anxiety instead of being controlled by it.
