Therapy for Anxiety
The pressure in your chest, the pit in your stomach, the constant edge—anxiety is always there, even when nothing’s wrong.
You’ve been powering through—but it’s wearing you down
You wake up and the pressure is already there—tight in your chest, buzzing in your stomach. Still, you get up and start the day. You push the anxiety down, tell yourself to keep moving.
You blast music on the way to work, hoping to distract your mind or drown out the thoughts. You try to compartmentalize, to push through, to get through the day so you can finally fall apart later—when no one’s watching.
At work, especially if you’re in a helping profession, the pressure can feel even heavier. You’re holding space for others while barely holding it together yourself. You’re trying to appear calm, capable, steady—when inside, you feel anything but.
And even in your personal life, anxiety tags along. You overthink what you said in a conversation, worry if you’re being too much or not enough, question whether your friendships are okay. Maintaining relationships starts to feel like one more thing to manage, instead of a place to land.
From the outside, it might look like you’re managing. But inside, it’s exhausting—this constant cycle of tension, overthinking, and trying to keep it all together.
Anxiety Doesn’t Have to Run the Show
With a blend of IFS and attachment-based therapy, we’ll get to know the parts of you that carry your anxiety—the overthinker, the part that wants to get everything just right (hello, perfectionism), and the one always bracing for something to go wrong.
Rather than pushing these parts away or trying to “fix” them, we’ll get curious. You’ll begin to understand what your anxiety is trying to protect you from—and what it actually needs in order to soften.
Over time, the heaviness begins to lift. The constant tension in your chest starts to ease. The anxious voice in your mind quiets down. You’ll feel more grounded in yourself, more able to pause, reflect, and respond instead of reacting from fear or urgency. This isn’t about eliminating anxiety altogether—it’s about changing your relationship to it. So it no longer controls you. This is what it feels like when anxiety loosens its grip. And it is possible.

FAQS

Coping skills are useful—but they’re not the whole story. In our work, we’ll look at why anxiety shows up in the first place. You’ll learn to listen to the deeper parts of yourself, so anxiety doesn’t have to shout to get your attention.

Being a helper doesn’t mean you’re immune to anxiety—it often means you carry more of it. You’re used to being the one others turn to, but that doesn’t mean you have to do it all alone. You deserve the same support and space you give so freely to others.
