Worry is a natural response to stress and at times can even help with problem solving. It becomes a concern when it feels constant, overwhelming, or out of proportion. Constructive worry focuses on addressing a problem and noticing relief as it is resolved. Anxiety, by contrast, can involve persistent worry, catastrophizing, fear of the unknown, or reliving difficult experiences.

Therapy helps you navigate the thoughts and triggers behind these reactions. You will learn to manage racing thoughts and worry loops while calming the nervous system and identifying patterns to challenge and reframe. We work on recognizing when you are being too hard on yourself and gently shifting toward self-compassion and clarity. We explore social anxiety, build confidence in interactions, and address perfectionism or fear of failure. Therapy supports managing panic attacks or physical symptoms, reframing avoidance behaviors, strengthening emotional regulation, and finding balance between productivity and rest without guilt. It also helps uncover and heal the root causes of chronic anxiety, while cultivating mindfulness and staying grounded in the present moment.
