Anxiety & overwhelm
Anxiety is your mind trying to protect you, but sometimes it doesn’t know when to stop. Therapy helps you understand what sets it off, calm your body when it spikes, and slowly take back the parts of your life it’s been running.
What it can feel like
- Racing thoughts, especially at night
- Tight chest, shallow breathing or a knot in your stomach
- Avoiding calls, plans or places that used to be easy
- Replaying conversations and bracing for the worst
- Feeling on edge even when things are fine
If some of these sound familiar, you’re not alone, and it’s very treatable.
How we help
We start by learning how your anxiety works: what triggers it, what it’s trying to protect, and what keeps it going. Just understanding that often brings relief.
Then we practice. You’ll learn skills to settle your nervous system in the moment, and we’ll gently take on the avoidance that keeps anxiety in charge, one step at a time and at a pace that feels doable.
