Anxiety Therapy

You don't have to live
in constant worry

Anxiety can feel like it's running the show — racing thoughts, physical tension, the sense that something bad is always around the corner. It doesn't have to be this way.

When normal stress becomes something more

A certain level of stress is typical. You have a demanding schedule, meaningful relationships, a lot to juggle. But when normal stress turns into constant anxiety, overactive worry, or panic — it starts to interfere with your daily life.

According to the National Institute of Mental Health, approximately 40 million Americans are diagnosed with an anxiety disorder. You are not alone — and this is very treatable.

Together, we can create a plan that addresses the root of your anxiety so you can move through life with more ease, peace, and confidence.

Is this you?

  • Constant, hard-to-control worry
  • Racing heart, chest tightness, or muscle tension
  • Restlessness and trouble sitting still
  • Difficulty falling or staying asleep
  • Changes in appetite
  • Feeling like something bad is always about to happen
  • Obsessing over "what if" scenarios
  • Avoiding social or group situations
If any of this looks familiar — I can help. These are patterns, not permanent fixtures of who you are.

How I can help

I'll teach you new tools and skills that will last the rest of your life. We'll create solutions tailored specifically to you.

Skills

Real tools for real life

You'll leave each session with practical skills to manage anxiety in the moment — not just talk about it.

Awareness

Understand your patterns

We'll increase your awareness of the thoughts, triggers, and behaviors that fuel your anxiety — awareness is the first step to change.

Confidence

Trust yourself again

You'll feel more assured in your ability to handle whatever life throws your way — not because problems disappear, but because you will.

Custom-Tailored

Your plan, not a template

Every person's anxiety is different. We'll find what works for your specific situation, history, and goals.

Techniques that go beneath the surface

I primarily use Brainspotting, IFS, and mindfulness to address anxiety. These body-based approaches work with your nervous system — not just your thinking mind.

Brainspotting

Developed by Dr. David Grand, Brainspotting uses specific eye positions to access and process emotional pain and trauma stored in your brain and body. Where you look affects how you feel. This gentle approach allows deep healing at your brain's own pace — particularly effective when traditional talk therapy hasn't been enough.

Internal Family Systems (IFS)

Developed by Dr. Richard Schwartz, IFS helps you understand the different "parts" of yourself — the worrier, the protector, the wounded inner child. By building compassionate relationships with these parts, rather than fighting them, we restore inner harmony and release the anxiety that protects old wounds.

Mindfulness

Woven throughout our work together, mindfulness builds your capacity to observe your inner world without being swept away by it. Over time, this awareness becomes a natural buffer between trigger and reaction — giving you real choice in how you respond to anxiety.

What people say about
online counseling

"For me, doing online counseling has made it easier to connect than with previous in-person therapists — this format somehow feels less threatening. I'm at home, you're at home. You're a professional, but also a normal person."

— Client, Tacoma WA

"I'm so glad I made this investment in myself. If online therapy hadn't been an option, I'd still be making excuses."
